Hmmm. I’ve got a question… Which do you prefer? The Wii or the PS3?

Now don’t jump to conclusions or anything. You should probably take your time and enjoy a Choco Party while you’re thinking.

Um, yeah… hi. Listen, I’m going to need you to come back and read this article tomorrow. Say around 9am? Oh, and I’m also going to need you to come by on Sunday… we’ve lost some people and are kind of needing to play catchup. Thanks!

Yeah, and um, it seems that a contestant on Who Wants to be a Millionaire got a question about the movie Office Space which he was intimately familiar with. What’s so classic is his reaction. Though I really, really wish he would have stared at it calmly and then in his best Lumberg voice said something like, “Um, yeah. Listen, I’m going to need to go ahead and answer Superman III, kay? Oh, and I’m also going to need to go ahead and let you know that’s my final answer. Thanks.”

Some of you may have seen one of these videos before, as they’ve been watched a total of like 10 million times, but most people have not see all four of them. The choreography and coordination to create these videos are both incredibly creative and extremely well executed. A little about the project:

GAME OVER is one of the art projects developed by the Swiss artist Guillaume REYMOND (NOTsoNOISY creative agency). It consists of a series of collaborative animation movies which revive some of the very first video games. The pixels are replaced by a group of real human-beings that are moving from seat to seat in a theatre during about 4 to 6 hours. Each “pixel” has its own rules and decides what s/he wants to do for each picture. Once all these pictures are turned into a short animation movie, a giant human-scale video game unfolds “live”.

All right already… I know this game is not the Bubble Shooter game – but hear me out. It’s still pretty darn amusing!

Do you remember the original game of pong? You know, you used a couple of paddle controllers and there was a little ball which bounced back and forth and kept going faster and faster? Well, this game is essentially Pong on steroids! You try to break through all the bricks, and your little paddle can get bonuses to make it larger, or give it the ability to shoot a gun, and all sorts of other stuff.

Give it a try. It might at least serve as an occasional break from the bubbles!

Folks, I came across this game and couldn’t stop playing it for hours. It’s way, way better than Tetris, though kind of along the same line.

Basically the goal is to use your mouse to point and shoot bubbles up into the group that is descending upon you. If you get three or more bubbles in consecutive alignment they pop. You can see what the next color bubble you’ll have to shoot is, so choose wisely where to aim if you have more than one possible target.

Guinness beer has an ingenious new advertisement that could previously only been seen by those who solved the puzzles on the Guinness website at GuinnessTipping.com!

Well, I suppose some Genius figured out the riddle and then graciously bestowed the location of the new videos on the rest of us. So, grab a beer, kick back, and enjoy.

In keeping with my ongoing theme of posting casino games, I present for your entertainment the classic 3 Card Poker! (Don’t forget we’ve also got Blackjack and Roulette.)

3 Card Poker (or tri-card poker as it’s also called) is an American version of a British game called Brag. This game originated over three hundred years ago as a game known as Primero, a fast-moving betting game using only three cards. As the game evolved, it became known as Post-and-Pair and then again as Brag. This game made it to the States as Casino Brag and Brit-Brag, but eventually evolved again into the game we now know as 3 Card Poker.

The game is comprised of two different components and here is how they are played…

Roulette is a casino and gambling game named after the French word meaning “small wheel”. In the game a croupier spins a wheel in one direction, then spins a ball in the opposite direction around a tilted circular surface running around the circumference of the wheel. The ball eventually falls on to the wheel and into one of 37 (in European roulette) or 38 (in American roulette) colored and numbered pockets on the wheel.

Albert Einstein is reputed to have stated, “You cannot beat a roulette table unless you steal money from it.” And indeed he was mathematically correct. Roulette is an absolute game of chance in which the house odds are stacked from 2-5% against you. Still, the little game I’ve embedded here is awfully fun to play!

Ok, here is an unusual game to amuse you guys on this fine Friday. Scooby Doo and the Escape from the Coolsonian is a cartoonish, mystery, adventure game. You have to solve clues to advance to the next stage of the game, and it’s challenging enough for kids or adults.

In case you get stuck and frustrated, you can ask the game for a hint and it’ll help you cheat keep going. So, there are about 4 levels and it took me nearly an hour to complete them without actually cheating.

This video is as cool, or possibly even better, than my previous post on Incredible Japanese Kinetic Machines.

In this video, the creators of this Rube Goldberg machine (a machine that performs a simple task in a complex way) have woven the kinetic reactions all over an entire house!

As it weaves it’s way throughout I can’t help to wonder if someone’s mom is about to come home and freak out at what the kids did when the parents were out of town or something (like with the 60 foot slip-n-slide).

In keeping with the tradition of bringing you amusing little time wasting games lately, I found this totally unique little mini-golf game.

The object is to hit your golf ball onto the floating green with the flag on it. In the process you have to play through other floating platforms that might contain sand traps, or other obstacles.
