Mix and match various items to create more items.

Let’s finish out this week on a cool note. Little Alchemy 2 is a great casual game that lets you combine various items to make new things that can be used to create even more! This game has seemingly endless possibilities, and it’s bound to be different every time you restart it.

A face in need of a slap!

It’s almost therapeutic what a little virtual violence can do. Move your mouse from right to left across the image to slap a ginger over and over again.

It’s like Photoshop, only cheaper.

Here’s an interesting one for you. It’s an online image editor. I’m still stuck in the past using Paint Shop Pro 4.14, so I honestly couldn’t tell you if this thing is any good or not. The neat thing is that you can if you’re using Chrome, you can “Install” it to your desktop. Anyhoo, it’s a neat one.

I don’t get it.

I’d be lying if I said I knew what this was good for. It’s some kind of dot that you can perturb with your mouse. Roll over it, hold down the left mouse button, then jiggle the mouse around to watch it go.

Yeah… Worth every penny.

You’ll probably spend more time here than you’d expect.

So the idea is simple. It loads and plays a random short low-res cat-centric video loop while playing a song or maybe some other audio clip. I have no idea how many clips there are, but it’s well of a hundred.

Do you know your way around a hard drive? Can you boss around a command prompt? Then you might be able to play a few old games here.

It’s probably fake, but an interesting art piece.

This website claims that if it goes more than 24 hours without receiving a message it will permanently self-destruct and wipe its database.

Personally I think its fake. Every time I go there it starts counting down from 86,400 seconds, and I ain’t never left it a message. In any event, it gets more clicks that my site, and my site has better things to click on.

Yeah, it looks like it’s got ads. Use an adblocker.

The Peter’s Projection is a version of the world map that we’re all very familiar with, but while it gives you a good idea of where countries are in relation to one another, it tends to distort the size of the land. This website allows you to check the size of counties against any other country to see the true size of the land masses. Some of them are pretty surprising.

Roll your mouse over a dot and it splits into four dots. Repeat again, and again. and again…

So this is a cute little time waster. The more you keep rolling your mouse over the dots, the clearer the picture of a koala and her joey gets. No idea what it’s good for, but it’s kind of soothing in a bubble wrap popping kind of way.

Not sure how, but there seems to be a way to insert your own pic.

I really don’t have anything more to add.

Is it Monday already? Damn… What happened to the weekend? Oh well, let’s see if there’s anything fun to play with… Here we go.

OK, so in this game you’ve got two rodents to choose from, then rocks and acorns come at you from the left. Shoot the rocks and collect the acorns. It’s as simple as that.

Click on the image to go there. That’s how this works now. I know how we have been doing it, but honestly I think there really isn’t any need to for me to type the title twice, and the image works just fine as the link to the site.
