Travis’ Pumpkin PWNs

Posted on October 30, 2006

Oh, how very, very inadequate I feel. Travis sent in this picture of a rather menacing jack-o-lantern that would eat my pumpkin alive.

You can still submit your pumpkin art through midnight on Halloween. Just go to this site and get started.

Game of Interest: Don’t have a pumpkin yet?

Posted on October 30, 2006

Are you having a hard time trying to find a pumpkin to carve? I can’t supply you with the real thing, but OneMoreLevel.com has a virtual pumpkin for you to carve with your ever-handy mouse.Consider this my early Halloween treat to all of you (maybe… 2? 3?) readers who come around today and tomorrow.

The game is cute and it shouldn’t take much of your time. Unless you’re art-obsessed and can draw very, very well with your mouse. If you do, why not send a screenshot my way? I’ll post it on my site.

Do you sudoku?

Posted on October 28, 2006

If you’re like millions of other people around the world, you probably do it. Sudoku, I mean. You know? The game where you have to write the numbers 1-9 in boxes and they can’t repeat within a box or a row or a column? Yes, that sudoku.Well, now it’s online and you can play for free! Okay, so Web Sudoku has been in existence for who knows how long. But I’m talking yummy multi-player action. Sudoku puzzles done before you blink!

Online World Sudoku Championship 2006 (yes, the name is long; bare with me here) allows you to play against other sudoku addicts around the world (presumably). You can play by yourself, too, but the fun is in the multiplayer. You can play anywhere from one to three other people who are currently online. The game has a point system based on how many squares you correctly fill in. Those points are translated to another point system that gets carried over to other games and determines your ranking.

I only found one bug where someone else’s points were being assigned to me in game, but during the point of assignments out of that particular sudoku game, the system seemed to straighten itself out.

You do need to register to play, but registration is free.

Whee! The sudoku-phile in my absolutely adores this online version. But for those of you who have a problem with it, my advice is this: steer clear!
