Boss key: Hard at work or hardly working? You can give the impression of the former when actually doing the latter with the boss-fooling Flash games from Can’t you see I’m Busy. There are three stealth games so far, riffs on classic time-wasters that are cleverly disguised as Word documents or Excel spreadsheets. Breakdown is an Arkanoid clone that lets you smash boring text with your magic ball. Cost Cutter is a Puzzle Bobble-ish contest to destroy multiplying bar graphs. And Leadership is a Lunar Lander take-off that imprisons your tiny ship in a deadly world of pointy line graphs. There’s even a counter to show how much company time you’ve wasted at cantyouseeimbusy.com. Oh, snap: Überpix, despite points deducted for unnecessary umlauts, is a great repository of all those WTF pictures that you’re dying to post on your friends’ wall. Some sets are pure genius, like the one of mugshots with ironic t-shirts, including “Trouble Finds Me,” “Support Your Local Hooker” and, helpfully, “Webb’s Bail Bonds” at uberpix.net/7413/what-not-to-wear/. —Michael CitromeComments? mikecitrome@yahoo.com |
