The Chinese goverment has introduced controls to stop people playing computer games for more than three hours - see here.
I have no interest in big games for people called "Gamers" or, occasionally, "Hard-Core Gamers", but I am vulnerable to simple ones like Tetris and Collapse. Addictive and clever, they allow you to get better but you can always lose suddenly. And so you play again. And again. I have removed all games from my computer but I cannot get rid of the online ones. Wired magazine - the bastards - pointed me to Drifts, I'm not giving you the address. I spent an hour on it, acquired a stabbing pain in my side and a score of 74 The list of high scorers includes one Yeolcoatl who scored 5704. Bring on the Chinese cyber-cops.

A blog about, among other things, imaginary ideas - What ifs? and Imagine thats. What if photographs looked nothing like what we see with our eyes? Imagine that the Berlin Wall had never come down. What if we were the punchline of an interminable joke? All contributions welcome.
Hey! wow! I've been blogged about! I guess that means I've reached some sort of level of internet fame. I really don't think I spent 3 hours getting my 5704 score, though. =]
