This Week's Waste of Time

What happens when you abandon most of video gaming's strictures instead opting for a more "everything and the kitchen sink" approach to interactive art? I'm glad you asked. You get Evidence of Everything Exploding: social commentary as Dada-esque poetry.

This Week's Waste of Time

The new year is upon us. And what better time to explore the world of Stewart Smith and his backward and forward looking blog. The man is a retro-futurist with an eye for design and a noggin for programming. Needless to say, TWWT is smitten. It's time to play some Browser Pong.

This Week's Waste of Time

I'll be honest, I'm still exhausted from our marathon romp through the Independent Games Festival nominees. But that doesn't mean the free browser games stop coming. Here's a game that might just help you get through the holidays with your family. It's called 5 Minutes to Kill (Yourself).
