Sorus is wise. If I had learned my lesson with Zork I could have avoided Doom II altogether! :lol:

I don't know about wise - my main concern is that it would cut into my precious WoW time. :twisted:

That's exactly my reason for resisting Lucimay's persistent badgering to try WoW. ;)

Yeah, I've had a few people try to get me into WoW. Ain't gonna happen. I don't need another videogame sucking all my extra time out.

Can't find the old, general "online games" topic, so this'll do.

fantasticcontraption.com/

Lost half my day to this one. Gettig bored of it now, but it's fun for a while. Even after you solve a level it can sometimes be hard to repeat, heh. Do the tutorial first and have a go, you can make some very interesting stuff.

Hmm, gave it a try, but I'm not great with physics, so I found it quite difficult.

I'm sure I linked to this a while back, but it's worth a revival: www.grapheine.com/bombaytv/index.php?lang=uk

I was terrible at it at first, but it's mostly a case of trial and error: keep at it until you see something start to work, then adjust until it does work. I just spent about an hour fiddling with this one, before i finally got one that completed the level:
FantasticContraption.com/?designId=447772
There are easier ways to finish that level, but I was interested in trying a new method.

This one from yesterday came about entirely by accident, from the odd behaviour of one part:
FantasticContraption.com/?designId=397676

Murrin, your contraptions are pretty cool. Thank you for sharing them. The ones I've been doing on that game are extremely mundane by comparison.

The puzzles on this website have become a weekly requirement for me. You have to join (free) to get new puzzles every week, but it's worth it.

If you have ever said to yourself, "I wonder who the craziest person on the internet is?", then you need to look here.

Not so much weird and funny as an observation of an internet type: www.newgrounds.com/portal/view/459255 (based on a page from 'Shortpacked!')
