Just the cutest thing…
One day little Jane's mother was out, and her dad was in charge. Jane was maybe two and had just recovered from an accident. Someone had given her a little tea set as a get-well gift, and it was one of her favorite toys.
Daddy was in the living room engrossed in the evening news when she brought him a little cup of tea, which was just water. After several cups of tea and lots of praise for such yummy tea, Jane's mom came home. Dad made her wait in the living room to watch Jane bring him a cup of tea, because it was "just the cutest thing." Mom waited, and sure enough, here comes Jane down the hall with a cup of tea for daddy, and she watches him drink it.
Then Mom asks Dad, "Did it ever occur to you that the only place she can reach to get water is the toilet?"
Threesome
Another simple-but-addictively-fun game. Control three friends one at a time to open doors and help them reach their destination. Go on, have a threesome!
Sumo Paint – an online mini Photoshop
Sumo Paint is a rich, powerful graphics editor that runs in your browser using Flash - you'll be surprised at the graphics quality and the features packed into this webapp. What you get is the ability to create an image from scratch using an impressive array of drawing tools (I personally like the gravity mode in the brush tools), or to load an image from your computer or from a remote location.
Do you have an eye for measurements?
Not really a game, but rather a test of your visual integrity. How accurately can you judge lines, angles, distances? Find out here through a series of seven tests, taken thrice to reduce random luck, whether good or bad.
