If you're familiar with the Grow games like, Grow Cube, you'll be familiar with Feed the Head. Figure out how to feed this fellow. Beyond that, you have to figure the rest out yourselves. Well, so do I. As of the writing of this post I ... http://notenoughtime.today.com/2007/04/25/feed-the-head/ I've always enjoyed games based around the concept of looking down into a tunnel-shaped gaming environment. It's a cheap, but effective, way to create a 3D experience for the user. The Missle Game 3D, by DX Interactive, is a simple but fun game in which you take the role of ... http://notenoughtime.today.com/2007/04/04/yet-another-tunnel-game/ 3rd World Farmer is definitely an interesting one. It started as a students' project at the IT-University in Copenhagen, and considering the content, that makes perfect sense. You play the part of a poor family attempting to extract themselves from poverty through their farm.

It's sort of fun, I guess, but it just goes on way too long. Now that I won, though, I don't think I'll ever play again. http://notenoughtime.today.com/2006/11/16/dice-wars/ Today I spent way too much time downloading massive images from the Top 100 Hubble Space Telescope Images archive. These things are truly X-BOX HUGE. The largest one of them all is the image pictured below. Uncompressed it comes in at a spectacular 444.73MB. I guess it's fitting ... http://notenoughtime.today.com/2006/11/03/top-100-hubble-images/ Virus 2 is a pretty fun Flash game. It's simple to play but has deeper strategies if you look for them.
