A fun and easy (but strangely addictive) game:

Here's an oddly compelling contraption, with cool picture.

Suddenly the croissant on my desk looks less appetizing.

Hey, that's the same game I posted at the top of the page - eyes on your own test, mister!

:wink:

I guess he must have skipped that one and went straight to the kissing pirates. I was hitting penguins for way too long. the furthest I sent one was 319.3, how did everyone else do? Urg. Addictive is right. As soon as I typed my record I couldn't resist trying to beat it. I got sucked into five more minutes of penguin batting but no luck.

As soon as I read this post I knew I'd be obligated to beat your score, although I never played the game before. After about five or ten minutes, I got a 321.1. I only broke 300 three other times, and all three were less than yours.

Regardless, you suck, and I am the Queen of France.

After I posted the above message I went back to playing it, and on my second swing back I got a 323.4. I'm going to have to stop posting every time I break my own records, though.

thanks, that's just what I was looking for! It's fun to see penguins flying across the animated sky and bouncing across the ground but what I really needed to make it fun was some petty competition. But for now I've been unable to beat your record. So yes I bow down to the Queen of France, but you might be dethroned when I get home from work.

Oopsies, my bad. I will go home and write "I will check the thread before posting" 500 times.

I just tried to beat my own record for a while, but to no avail. I got 320.something a few times, but never 323 or higher. A few other random accomplishments to share, though:

1) My farthest pop fly was 207.1.

2) I had two pop flies that were exactly 200. Yay round numbers.

I need to stop playing that game now. Plus, I'm hungry. It's burrito time, baby.

My co-worker's best pop fly is 207.6, I'm stuck on 207.4. Who knew playing lawn darts with penguins could be so much fun.

For now it looks like i've topped out. I haven't been able to set any records but I have been able to tie the best. I was able to get 323.4 but no higher yet and I only did it once. Now I just keep getting 322.9. My best pop fly was 207.6, which I've had a few times. I'm curious about what the shortest possible distance is for a pop fly. The shortest distance pop fly I've had was 188.something.
