Launchball was kind of a fun little diversion for a while. It’s not challenging enough to really keep you playing, but it is amusing through several levels.

As a lark, I took this Traveler IQ Challenge. I scored 170,594, and made it to level 6. I felt pretty good about that, but then it said my traveler IQ was 92. With IQ, average is 100, which means that at 92 I’d be below average (if they’re using IQ the way real IQ is used). I can only assume it’s all those people outside the US blowing the curve for the rest of us. Damn foreigners with their fancy book learnin’ and knowledge of geography!

Cadbury’s A Minute and a Half Full of Joy is one of the best viral videos I’ve ever seen. I defy you to watch this to the end and not smile. Every time I see it, I laugh out loud. Now, I want some chocolate. The only problem is that there doesn’t seem to be a way to link directly to the video.

Orb is a fun game.

Can you Name All 50 States in 10 Minutes? I was only able to get 48. I probably could have done better if I didn’t have such a hard time spelling some of those states. Let me name 50 state abbreviations in 10 minutes, and I’d nail it for sure.

Crossword is kind of a fun little game. You don’t have clues. You just have letters. Click on an empty square, all the squares with the same letter will light up. Now, pick a letter from the available list that would work in all of those squares. It’s surprisingly engaging, and a lot easier than normal crossword puzzles.

Super Serif Brothers is a fun game without any of those fancy schmancy graphics. It’s just pure, fun game play.

I think I linked to one of these sample citizenship tests before — maybe even this one, but I’m too lazy to search for it. I scored a 90%, and it really should have been a 95%. What the heck does knowing which INS form is used to apply to become a naturalized citizen have to do with being a good citizen? Seems like a gimme that I would have got if I was neck deep in the process.

Anyway, Could you pass the U.S. citizenship test?

Windy Days is a delightfully cute little game. It gets old pretty quick, but it’s nice for a few moments. I like the depth of field — until I start feeling like I’m going blind.

According to this Machiavelli Personality Test, I’m 80% Machiavellian. Although, I did lie about a few of the answers to push me in that direction. Does that make me more or less Machiavellian?
