Time-B-Gone

filed under: Procrastinetion

First of all, let me point out how odd it is that, until now, a blog called "Procrastinet" has had no category for posts about online time-wasters. Huh. Well: fixed.

POINT (A) Alien Loves Predator. Online photo/photoshop based comic featuring an Alien action figure named Abe and a Predator action figure named Preston, who live in NYC. Got the tip from dear reader J. last week, and when I next looked up it was 2 hours later and I'd read the whole archive.

The comic you'll see when you click through above is not going to make much sense - I suggest hitting "archive" and starting at the beginning. Absolutely unspeakably brilliant.

POINT (B) The. Best. List. Of. Online. Games. Ever.

One of the links is to all the Infocom games, in java form. ZORK, for god's sake, ZORK! I just played a 1/2 hour of ZORK today!

"Mouse Avoider 2" and "Tontie" are great. Actually, "Tontie" is better than great.

You're welcome.

And sorry.

UPDATE:

POINT (C): Via the indispensible Screenhead, a video mashup of Fox News. Words cannot express. It'll only kill two minutes- until you watch it again. And again. Check it out. "Fox means nipple clamps!"

UPDATE UPDATE:

ALL YOUR TIME ARE BELONG TO SAMAROST 2!

It's soooooooooooooooo awesome. I may spring for the second chapter. The first Samorost is quite fantastic as well.

http://www.googleearth.com is a phenomenal timewaster. Not only can you zoom in by satellite to your own home, but you can create a nice little minitour that will allow you to zoom down to Charlotte and check out Procrastimom.
