Darwin Award Candidates: How To Unsuccessfully Deal With Black Ice

via Geekologie - Gadgets, Gizmos, and Awesome on 12/29/09

So you're driving along when all of a sudden you can't stop your car. Shit, you've hit a patch of dreaded black ice -- what do you do? Personally, I'd turn the stereo up to 11 and pump my fist, but that's because I'm a superhero.

Shocking driving condtions in Paignton (England) on the busiest shopping day of the year. The car is barely moving but the hill makes stopping impossible and both people in the front of the car decide to jump out.

That's right, these two jackasses decide to get out. Which, fun fact: if you're not in your car when it hits another one, you're not responsible for the damage it does. What do you mean 'yes you are'? THEN WHY DID I JUST LEAVE AFTERWARD? What Not to Do When Your Car Starts Sliding On Black Ice [techeblog]

Blosics is physics-powered block-toppling fun - Time Waster

Blosics is physics-powered block-toppling fun - Time Waster

I like to think of Clockwork Monster's Blosics as a sort of backwards-Jenga-with-cannonballs.

Click in the green circle to "arm" a projectile and hold the button to increase the shot's power. You'll need to use finesse and play your angles well once the game introduces red blocks. Knocking green ones from the platform earns you points, while red ones penalize you.

Earn 100 points or more, and you pass the level. Blosics isn't a long-term commitment -- the first few levels are easy enough. Expect some challenges toward the end, though.

I just wish there were more levels, but I'll be heading back for another round. Knocking stuff over is always a good stress reliever, after all.

Balls 2 - a low-key Time Waster

Balls 2 - a low-key Time Waster

via Download Squad by Jason Clarke on 12/21/09

Does the fast pace of action games make you anxious? If so, have I got the time waster for you. Balls 2 is a game that involves no explosions, no timer, and no lives. You simply mouse over a bunch of colored balls, causing them to split into four smaller colored balls. If you do this enough times, the balls eventually disappear, revealing a random image underneath. The developer says that the image is updated weekly.

The game has the same sort of zen feeling as popping bubble wrap, with a bit of repetitive stress injury thrown in. In fact, it's easier to play Balls 2 using a touch pad.

To be honest, I didn't have the patience to actually reveal the hidden image -- it takes a long time to get there. Let us know in the comments what you find.
