I happened to catch a little blurb on G-4 TV about a tiny free video game called Sumotori Dreams and decided to check it out. I’m really glad I did because it is highly amusing and I played it for about 30 minutes even though I’m not a big fan of video games.
The concept reminds me of a digital version of Rockem Sockem Robots. Basically you’ve got two blocky little sumo wrestlers and you start the match and just go at it.
The only catch is that these sumo wrestlers are so drunk they can hardly stand up! So, there is as much luck in winning a match as there is skill.

While shopping at my local Costco today I happened to come across a PS3 sitting in the case with the cameras, iPods and other electronic goodies. At first I was a little taken aback, but I gathered my senses enough to ask a nearby employee if that was an actual PS3 for sale?
Well, as you can guess by the title of this post, it was, and I bought it. Apparantly it had just been put out a little earlier, and when I got home and opened it I see that it seems to have been previously opened, though its in perfect condition.
Now, I honestly have no use for a game console as I just don’t play them. But I find two things attractive about the PS3. First, it’s a cheap Blue-Ray disc player. Secondly, there is supposed to be a blazingly fast Folding@Home client which you can download and run on the machine when you’re not using it for something else.

This addictive little game is just too damn cute (all right… and fun) not to share.
But if you tell anyone that I’m sending you off to games with bunny rabbits I’ll give you a thorough beating. :-)

Here is a complete and utter time waster! But damn if it isn’t as addictive as the real thing!
The object here is simple. Use your mouse to pop the bubble wrap till your heart’s content! Then, get a fresh sheet and repeat. While you’re at it, don’t forget to try the “manic mode”.
