I just found the most amazing site. It’s called [Orisinal](http://ferryhalim.com/orisinal/). It’s chuck full of some amazingly artistic flash games created by Ferry Halim. He won a Webby Award earlier this year for his creativeness. The link above will take you to his game page. The links below are some of my favorites from there, although I didn’t have nearly enough time to check them all out. Quite entertaining though. [The 3 Monkeys](http://ferryhalim.com/orisinal/g2/3monkeys.htm) [Fishball](http://ferryhalim.com/orisinal/g3/fish.htm) [Aim and Fire](http://ferryhalim.com/orisinal/g2/aim.htm) [Panda Run](http://ferryhalim.com/orisinal/g3/panda3.htm) [The Bottom of the Sea](http://ferryhalim.com/orisinal/g3/sea.htm) [The Perilous Voyage](http://ferryhalim.com/orisinal/g2/voyage.htm) [Silent Water](http://ferryhalim.com/orisinal/g2/silentwater.htm) From any of the games, clicking on the word “Orisinal” in the box will take you to the main page. Check it out (assuming you have plenty of time to waste) and if you ever make it back here again, post your favorites. ---

I don’t know whether to curse you or to thank you. What a fun way to waste time. Have you tried playing Cats yet? ---

Aim and Fire is so freakin’ annoying to me. It’s the only one I’m really good at, but I always get about 20-50 points below the high score table _grr_. Like this time, I just picked it up without having played it for quite a few months and got 1117. I think my best score ever is about 1130, but the lowest score on the high score table is 1148. Sooo close… yet sooo far… :mad:. ---

I tried to warn you guys… Cat’s was the first one I tried. Fishball is the one that’s going to wreck my schedule. ---

Damn you, Orisinal! I thought I left you far behind! I warned you to never show your face again! I was free, _free!_\* Oh well… time to see what the heck is at the bottom of the ocean… ---

Cats was the _last_ one _I_ tried. Bizare! And the others - sickeningly cutesy ---

Fishball is fun, even though I have no control over the ball whatsoever. Silent Water is cool as well, I’ve got the same game on my cell phone. oh… and curse you ---

Cats is the biggest timesuck I have ever seen. I got to 12,595 before I just got so utterly bored that I stopped. But the game kept going because I have skillz in the game, so when I quit I still had plenty of time left. I’m writing this post as the time expires. Lowest score so far on the high score list is 16,630. Well, another hour of it would have gotten me on the list, but really, it’s like scoring highest in “Reading A Book For A Gosh-Darned Long Time.” I have better things to do. ---

I just it put on the record that I was forced to play the games under duress and I really tried to sit down and do my work, I just couldn’t resist the challenge
