I occasionally during dull moments of the day wander over to my local online arcade and play some odd game or another which has temporarily captured my fancy. Lately I’ve been noting what other people have been playing, and giving said games a try. I must say some people are more easily amused than me-here’s a small sample: An [MST3K knockoff](http://sonsofsamhorn.net/index.php?autocom=arcade&code=play&g=217) which consists of merely keeping your mouse over a picture of the trio for as long as you can humanly stand it. [Here](http://sonsofsamhorn.net/index.php?autocom=arcade&code=play&g=849) you have to get your guy to the toilet before he has an…accident, or something. [Shave and a haircut](http://sonsofsamhorn.net/index.php?autocom=arcade&code=play&g=234)? Yes you get points for shaving the heads of customers in a barbershop. What total lameass games can you dig up? ---

[You Have to Burn the Rope](http://www.mazapan.se/games/BurnTheRope.php) is an obvious contender. ---

**John** , I can’t play any of yours, it seems you have to belong to that message board to play. [This quiz](http://www.kongregate.com/games/alafax/the-shortest-quiz-ever-xd)is pretty bad. [This](http://www.kongregate.com/games/dylface94/click-on-the-dot) is also really bad. ---

I was hoping I could at least drown the duck, but I guess I’ll have to wait for the patch. You Have To Burn The Rope has an interesting song at the end. ---

That’s just a ripoff of [Strong Bad’s duck pond simulator](http://www.homestarrunner.com/sbemail14.html) with better graphics and crappy controls. It happens all the time in the gaming industry. _shakes head, wanders off muttering unintelligibly about the price of corn._
