Ok - I'm at work, I'm bored, I have an hour and a half to go.
What can I do??????????
(Keep in mind I should at least appear to be working...)
Posted by Raia (Member # 4700) on :
You're at WORK!? At this hour???
Posted by imogen (Member # 5485) on :
Yeah, I'm really really dedicated....
no, i'm an aussie
Posted by Raia (Member # 4700) on :
*whistles* I knew that...
Posted by fiazko (Member # 5812) on :
hey, i'm at work, and it really is 12:30am here. only 6 more hours to go.
anyway, try this . it keeps me sane and awake when i'm down to my last hour or so.

10 Things for Imogen to do while bored at work.
1. Write bogus personel files for all your co-workers. Make comments like "needs to fully realise potential". Save to a shared file somewhere on the network.
2. write a dismissal letter to your boss from the board. Leave it in the photocopier.
3. Go around putting a single sheet of paper into all your co-worker's waste paper baskets. If anyone asks you why you are doing it, reply "didn't you get the memo?"
4. Try turning your eyelids inside out.
5. See how different uses you can find for a paperclip without leaving your desk or injuring yourself.
6. Just leave.
7. Send out emails to everyone above you in the pecking order explaining exactly how you think they should do their job. Lead in to every email with the words "Regarding our conversation at morning tea the other day, I'm happy to offer you a few pointers."
8. Make a soft beeping noise in the back of your throat once every ten minutes. See how long until one of your co-workers notices. Tell them it's just your internal clock.
9. How much caffene can you get into your system in an hour and a half?
10. Keep crusing Hatrack
Hope these help Posted by Narnia (Member # 1071) on :

That game is awesome. *Great* link. I'm up to 940
Posted by imogen (Member # 5485) on :
I second the 'curse the addicting helicopter game' - except I'm really really bad... so far my best score is 37!
And as for the list - so far I'm doing pretty well on #9 and #10 - the rest I'll wait until I'm ready to leave the job!
Posted by Scythrop (Member # 5731) on :
Curse those little green blocks !
Posted by imogen (Member # 5485) on :
Wow 76!!!!
(As I said... i suck...)
Posted by fiazko (Member # 5812) on :
so i should probably keep my high score to myself?
my goal is to beat the guy in the intro. i've got a ways to go. glad to provide some distraction. keep me posted on the scores. i like to know who my competition is. Posted by Da_Goat (Member # 5529) on :
Watch everything at HomestarRunner.com twice. Du-uh.
And after you've done that, and assuming you're allowed to download games on your work computer, download these two games: http://jet.ro/dismount/
They're so cool!
Posted by imogen (Member # 5485) on :
I'm coming up in the world... 152
Just wait, I'll be at 2000 before you know it Posted by Scythrop (Member # 5731) on :
I'm up to 1102 - this is *fun*
Posted by imogen (Member # 5485) on :
No downloads... silly corporate professional use policy Posted by fiazko (Member # 5812) on :
as much as i like the helicopter, i second homestar runner. unfortunately, i can't watch it because our computers don't have speakers. plus i'm guessing strong bad's guitar email wouldn't go over too well with the patients.
Posted by Lalo (Member # 3772) on :
994.
Damn you. This is so addicting.
Posted by fiazko (Member # 5812) on :
this is how i plan to take over the world.
mwahaha.
Posted by imogen (Member # 5485) on :
798..
(much as i realise just posting my improvements probably isn't very interesting to other people, it's amusing me... and ain't that what the whole idea is? )
Posted by fiazko (Member # 5812) on :
oh, i'm amused. keep 'em coming.
Posted by imogen (Member # 5485) on :
"And in just breaking news.... a mysterious dictator has assumed world control after distracting key political figures and the general populus with an online game. The President when asked to comment said '2100.. almost there - wait, you made me lose concentration..' "
I think we should be worried.. Posted by Scythrop (Member # 5731) on :
Don't underestimate yourself. I'm interested (and still at 1102)
And all of a sudden, I don't think I'm going to get much more work done myself this afternoon. Posted by fiazko (Member # 5812) on :
hmmm...'mysterious dictator'? i kinda like 'sinister puppeteer'. it has a nice ring to it. (what does that mean, anyway?)
Posted by Da_Goat (Member # 5529) on :
No downloads....okay, Spank the Monkey.
Posted by imogen (Member # 5485) on :
So here's a question - do you guys tend to fly over or under the bricks?
(If it's more or less in the middle...)
I'm an under person I think...
(just take that out of context! )
Posted by imogen (Member # 5485) on :
Sinister puppeteer with a nice ring = sinister puppet-earring !
Posted by fiazko (Member # 5812) on :
*shakes head while chuckling violently*
Posted by Scythrop (Member # 5731) on :
I'm well and truely an over person I'd say Posted by Lalo (Member # 3772) on :
Hey, I hit the monkey at 385 mph my second try! And it played a song!
Time to beat it...
Posted by fiazko (Member # 5812) on :
one way to decide whether or not to fly under or over is by where you're coming from. if i try to switch to under when i'm already over, i tend to die and vice versa.
Posted by imogen (Member # 5485) on :
Da_Goat - thanks for the monkey game - fun if just a little broken.
It reminds me a little of a game I saw once where you had to shoot kittens... very broken.
Posted by Scythrop (Member # 5731) on :
1482 metres! - And in other news I just about threw my mouse through the wall trying to get above 200 Mph...
Imogen's not going to want to leave work at this rate Posted by Da_Goat (Member # 5529) on :

can't reply, flying helicopter... Posted by imogen (Member # 5485) on :
Woo hoo 881! Posted by Wetchik (Member # 3609) on :
Ditto to imogen. Posted by Da_Goat (Member # 5529) on :
Bah, stupid me. I totally forgot Xiao Xiao. Once again, not for people who are 100% against hurting other people, or other kinds of violence. Xiao Xiao is basically Crouching Tiger Hidden Dragon/The Matrix stunts with stick figures, kinda.
Posted by imogen (Member # 5485) on :
My work computer didn't like Defend Your Castle (it crashed... lucky I wasn't doing anything important, huh? )
So it'll have to wait 'till I get home.
Posted by fiazko (Member # 5812) on :
here is where i got the helicopter. hours of mindnumbing to be had.
Posted by imogen (Member # 5485) on :
Almost 5:00... ..and I'm out of here. (seeing little helicopters and green blocks whenever I blink, but outta here nonetheless..)
Thanks y'all for providing much amusement to lighten up my afternoon. Posted by imogen (Member # 5485) on :
Oh, and Scythrop.....
Posted by Scythrop (Member # 5731) on :
awwww shucks Posted by Wetchik (Member # 3609) on :
Stupid.... Helicopter..... game!!!!!!!!
Posted by Wetchik (Member # 3609) on :
1064 on helicopter.
Posted by Da_Goat (Member # 5529) on :
I don't know if I'll ever understand this hatrack kissing thing...
Anyway, don't worry about the helicoptor game addiction. From personal experience, I can tell you honestly that the addiction'll wear off in a month or two.

Posted by Scythrop (Member # 5731) on :
Okay - I've got to ask - Fiazko and D.G - what's your high scores? Please I must have crashed about three hundred helicopters in the last hour, and I still can't break 1482 meters.
Posted by fiazko (Member # 5812) on :
i hit 15something purely by luck. i haven't come close since. i am proud of all of you, though. i've been playing for days.
Posted by Wetchik (Member # 3609) on :
The only issue I have with the helicopter games is that it takes forever for you to restart the game after you crash. It makes you sit there forever before starting again. Posted by Wetchik (Member # 3609) on :
This game will be the end of me. It's 11:50pm here and I still can't stop playing. Posted by Jeni (Member # 1454) on :
i have been defending my castle for some time now, and those big stick guys are evil. i am hooked, though. i haven't even played helicopter yet. Posted by Scythrop (Member # 5731) on :
This is an evil, evil game.
Having played for a couple of hours now, I find myself pondering the ethics of helicopter crashing. The chopper appears to be a bell jetranger, or something similar. Therefore we're talking four passengers per crash. Three to six crashes per minute, two hours.
That's 1440 virtual lives since five O'clock.
hmmmmm....
Think I'll go kill some more....
Posted by imogen (Member # 5485) on :
quote: three to six crashes per minute
See this is why I'm still in the 'not a threat category'...
I must have killed tens of thousands by now... I'm a virtual genocider!
And Jeni - like the Boot Bush very much...

Posted by Scythrop (Member # 5731) on :
okay - I'm now up to 1642
Not that I'm obsessive, or anything...
Posted by fiazko (Member # 5812) on :
you are obsessed. but it's ok. my castle is fortified to the point that i can't lose. Posted by fiazko (Member # 5812) on :
1786. i will sleep well today. good luck, my fellow pilots. i will check on your progress when i return tonight.
Posted by Scythrop (Member # 5731) on :
Well Done Fiazko! I just got online for the day, and now I'm reigning myself in from having "just one game" *Shakes head sadly at own addictive personality*
Tougest decision: Choppers or castle...
Hmmm. I think I'll go work in the library or somewhere away from my computer!
Keep the scores coming -
Posted by Human (Member # 2985) on :
2506 points on Copter! WOO!
Posted by Da_Goat (Member # 5529) on :
I can only get 700-something right now, but I know I've broke 2000 in the past (on the helicopter).
Posted by fiazko (Member # 5812) on :
human, you aren't.
[edit: btw, outstanding. ]
[ October 28, 2003, 12:56 AM: Message edited by: fiazko ]
Posted by Scythrop (Member # 5731) on :
Human, you rule!
Two days now and the elusive 2000 barrier still proves too much for me.
Guess I'll just keep trying.
Posted by Da_Goat (Member # 5529) on :
I got to 2324. Must...beat...Human('s score).
Posted by Da_Goat (Member # 5529) on :
2.5.0.8.
Yay! Come on, someone beat it!
Posted by Maccabeus (Member # 3051) on :
Interesting helicopter game. Got to wonder why the people in the copter didn't learn to land, though.
Posted by fiazko (Member # 5812) on :
gosh, are people still playing with the helicopter?
i went to the castle and now the helicopter is but a memory. there's just something morbidly fascinating about stick guys that bleed.
Posted by Scythrop (Member # 5731) on :
good work DG. I bow to your superior piloting skills! Must admit though that, like Fiazko, I've been engaging in the wanton slaughter of stick men for the last couple of days. Posted by Da_Goat (Member # 5529) on :
Blargh! I curse the minute I linked to that game. Posted by Lime (Member # 1707) on :
Check this out. It's a site dedicated to the stupidities that one runs across when working retail. It centers around a Canadian videogame rental store run and owned by Gord. It's definitely worth wasting a few hours reading, and has amused me during endless procrastination sessions during college.
