The Hangman Cheat

The Hangman Cheat isn't really a game, it's more of an intellectual investigation of statistics (kind of, at least - no really, I'm not kidding), and it has some ridiculously simple graphics. But despite this the scenario it creates is somewhat compelling. It's you versus the computer. Think WarGames, but with less Global Thermonuclear War (and, unfortunately, less Bueller). Can it guess the word you are thinking of before the poor stick man bites the dust again? Will the computer's unrelenting understanding of letter statistics defeat you once again? Can you avert Global Thermonuclear War? Will you arrive at world peace thru playing Hangman? These questions, and less, are answered in The Hangman Cheat [via openswitch].

PassiveAggressiveNotes (Dot Com)

If you're looking to wile away some time without playing computer games, then shame on you. Not shame for the wiling away time thing you understand, wile away to your hearts content as far as I'm concerned, I mean shame on you for the 'without playing computer games' part. How very dare you! But anyway, if you were to to require some material for wiling away time, and you weren't to play computer games, and you had still ended up here somehow, then I would probably suggest visiting (and browsing the archives of) Passive Aggressive Notes (.com). It's a hoot. Now if you'll excuse me I have to go - I have to reset my irony detector, which is making a loud beeping noise [via some website somewhere which I can't remember now, but I bet it was op-pop].

CONTENT WARNING: Passive aggressive folk can be unrestrained with their language at times, so you might want to stop the kids visiting this one unless you want them to start dropping the "F Bomb" every five seconds.

Eagle Eye

Eagle Eye is a promo for the film of the same name, not so much a game, as an interactive story against the clock [subbed by Catherine-Grace].

Inanimate Alice 4: Hometown

The interactive(ish) tale of Inanimate Alice continues in Inanimate Alice 4: Hometown which I hasten to add is a story, and not a game, before I get 50 comments telling me how rubbish the game-play is [subbed by Minxxo, Ian & Esteban].

Darth Thriller

Don't you just hate it when you are way busier than you thought you were going to be, especially when it's Friday? The subtext being that I don't have much time here, but is that going to stop me posting Darth Thriller for Musical Friday? No way... [via op-pop].

Common Trek People

It take a special kind of sick individual to post William Shatner's cover of Pulp's "Common People" on "Musical Friday" under the category "cool". Fortunately for you lucky peeps I am that kind of special individual. Enjoy [via op-pop].
