If you have a limited list of applications that your IT guys will let you can run at the office, and MS Excel is on that list, you can still play games at the office now that somebody has created Pac-Man for Excel. It’s actually fairly smooth on my PC, but I’ve heard it’ll run a bit slow on older PCs. Also make sure you have Macros enabled in Excel, otherwise the thing doesn’t run. But this is by far the most impressive use for Excel I’ve ever seen.

I’ve put a mirror copy here in case the guy goes over his bandwidth quota.

Put cans of it in a cannon, and shoot it at stuff. Watch this impressive slow-motion footage…

(more…)

Another simple but addictive little toy: You draw a line, hit go, and watch the little guy on the sled ride the hill you just drew. Every little bump will send him teetering to the point where he will crash and burn. Stupidly fun.

Between this game and the one I just mentioned, you should be able to kill off your entire Monday.

Simple premise: Find a bunch of interlinked words to fill in all relationships. But it’s a pain in the butt. If you want to cheat a bit, there are some folks here that have gotten most of the words filled in.

Feel free to comment/discuss here to figure links out.
