Fun and dysfunctional timewasters

Sick of the big expensive fall games? Taking a break from your fall studies? Slacking on the job? Have we got some five minute sinkholes for YOU!

Door number one: Dino Run!

dinoruntt8.jpg

One of my personal favorite web games. Play the part of a tiny dino in a slick pixel art world running from the oncoming asteroid doomsday. Eat eggs along the way, jump on big dino heads, but most importantly RUN!

Door number two: QWOP Athletics!

Ever wanted to be a meatsack in the olympics? Try your luck at the 100m with a completely mangled control system. If you don't have a cheap laugh playing this you're dead inside.

Door number three: Ignite people on fire!

ignitefn8.jpg

See that tree in the middle of the screen? That's you! Friendly patrons of the park are out for a Sunday stroll. Unfortunately you've been pissed on one too many times are about to break. Press space to see how a tree lets loose.

Share some of your favorite timewasters with us or give these few a shot. The goal? Fun!

    QWOP is hilarious.

    I somehow got him doing some fucked up MC Hammer drop knee walk, got about ten metres then did a full backflip and landed on his face.

    I got 33 metres last night when pola linked it in IRC, then had to study. You can cover a lot of ground if you get a rhythm up, you just need to be ready to stop yourself falling backwards.

    I was going to hit 100, but I'll be damned if I'm starting that shit over again. Once was enough.

    It's all about getting into the splits and then spasming your way along.

    Last time, I spasmed too much and fell over backwards, cracking my skull.

    But you have to get into exactly the right position. Also there's a hurdle at 50m that took me forever to get over.

    yeah the trick to this seems to be identifying whether the immediate danger is falling forward or backward

    if backward, just hop on the same foot; if forward switch feet in midair

    that's my method anyway
