I can't stop playing this game!

It's just a little inconvenient, as I have an 8 page final paper due tomorrow morning.

Come join me in my joyfully miserable addiction!

Thats an really old version of N. The current, complete version is available as a stand-alone flash download from the creators: http://www.harveycartel.org/metanet/downloads.html

Its has the full complement of levels, (500, I think) as well as various bug fixes from that copy. I've wasted many an hour playing it.

You notice that a lot more games are being posted on this forum now that finals are here. I find it quite amusing.

And yet I click on every link.

Did I mention that I'm a procrastinator? Little games like this are my friends, if used in moderation. But this game is hellishly addictive, and there's no time left to procrastinate! My paper's due in five hours! AAAARGH!!!

I can write a paper in 2 hours tops.

Well I can juggle four balls at once. [Razz]

Sure blayne, so could I for a class that I didn't really care about, and on a topic I already knew inside out. Thats more or less impossible, once the length and complexity of the paper increase or if the topic become more complicated, or if you don't have a complete grasp of the topic when you're trying to write. One last for instance, what it would take longer than 2 hours to just physically key the paper into the computer? Does that time estimate include revision and proofreading?

Your definition of paper could hardly make it past a freshman english class.

To tell the truth, the flash game that has been eating up a bunch of my time recently is this one: http://www.jeannettevejarano.com/games/tower-defence.html

I'm kinda skeptical about the claim that the author was able to get to level 90. If the claims about the way the monster's health increases are true, then its an exponential growth curve, and your tower upgrades stop helping around level 70 or so.

So far the highest level I've achieved has been 76. Can anyone do any better?

The trick is to get the green towers in the beginning because they have a lot more range than the other towers. Put them in the middle and just save up up money. Then buy the thunder and the other expensive tower.
