If you’re a video game addict — and let’s face it, if you have at least two “sequel” games in your game library you probably qualify — then you may have sometimes used video games as a way to escape your mundane, humdrum life.
Because who wouldn’t want to be that guy in Grand Theft Auto who can just run around and carjack whatever he feels like sometimes? Drive around and run bad drivers off the road?
Yeah, feels kinda good, doesn’t it?
When non-destructive, office pranks can be fun.
Filling up somebody’s cubical or office with inflated balloons? Fun. Filling up somebody’s cubical or office with Silly String? A little bit of a mess to clean-up, and usually left to the victim to do so on their own.
Web Watch has even covered an entire office’s items in tin foil and wrapping paper. Definitely time-consuming and an absolute waste of money, but entertaining. The best one we did was sheetrocking over the boss’s office door and painting the wall so it looked like the office was never there in the first place. Oh, we’re still laughing about that one.
But sometimes it’s nice to include others in your office shenanigans.

Have you caught the ANGRY BIRD craze for your iPhone, Android, or other mobile device?
Would it help to know that ANGRY BIRDS is coming to WII and XBOX LIVE, and PS3 soon?
How about that some math geeks have determined that the RED ANGRY BIRD is 70cm TALL?
If you, like Web Watch, love playing boardgames and videogames, then you need to pop over to your local libary on NOVEMBER 13th to celebrate NATIONAL GAMING DAY.
As part of the celebration, over 1800 participating libraries are going to try to set a world record for the LARGEST SIMULTANEOUS VIDEO GAME TOURNAMENT.
See? Who says that libraries need to be all quiet and stuffy?

The AMAZON KINDLE is great: whenever a new book release comes out, you can pretty much instantly download that book to your Kindle and begin reading immediately.
The hard part is knowing what books — or movies, or DVD’s, or video games — are being released each week so that you can be prepared ahead of time. Sometimes things get released and you just haven’t been paying attention.
When it comes to sports – and more importantly, how athletes present themselves both on and off the field – times have changed a lot over the past few years.
With Soccer Parents getting into fights with coaches over why their kids aren’t getting enough field time, fighting-enducing trash-talking during a game, athletes climbing into the stands to punch out hecklers, or even some sports where the scoreboard is being taken away entirely “because kids don’t want the pressure to have to win” — the reason for sports to exist in the first place are slowly falling down by the wayside as the “spirit of competition” gives way to “winning at all costs”.

If there’s one type of video game that Web Watch can’t get enough of, it’s games in the TOWER DEFENSE genre. We’ve already talked about the GUY WHO INVENTED THE ORIGINAL TOWER DEFENSE GAME, along with a REALLY DEEP AND VARIED VERSION in GEMCRAFT CHAPTER 0.
Here is another variation on the Tower Defense theme entitled CURSED TREASURE – DON’T TOUCH MY GEMS.
