Game of the Week

Juggler
The objective, keep three balls in the air as long as possible. This game is quite a bit harder than it looks.

Brick Game of the Week

BrickQuest
Have a bunch of brick-like toys lying around your house over break? Think of this as 3-D Brick D&D.

Free Music of the Week

Mixed-Tape
You may never drive a Mercedes-Benz, but you can certainly pretend. Mercedes-Benz occasionally releases a free album of unique music from around the globe, called Mixed-Tape. Volume 10 was released just this week. You can listen to it online or download it as MP3 files, for free.

Games of the Week

Springs
Something very brainless, but also strangely cool for finals week.

Amanita Design's Flash Games
At the opposite end of the spectrum we have 5 pretty amazing games by Amanita Design. These games are quite amzing and in depth. I can't say I have ever played any of them all the way through, but the flash animation is wild.

Finals Week Project of the Week

Games for the Web: A Final Exam
When the course description's first paragraph starts with, "A staple of nerd subculture..." and after the required reading is a list of basic system requirements for your computer, you know you are in a great class. This is a link to the blogs of students enrolled in a MMORG inspired COM class.

Gift of the Week

Catapult Kits: By Way of User Friendly
This is clearly the gift for those of you who simply have everything. Here you can purchase the plans for a mini-trebuchet, a Mangonel, or even an amazing catapult watch! Note: there are age restrictions on these things. (Thank Goodness)
