I downloaded World of Goo yesterday on Wii, and it’s crazy good. Played for like four hours already. If you like clever writing, brilliant puzzles, Tim Burton visuals, or Danny Elfman music, you must get this game. Something special like this comes only once every 1-2 years — don’t miss it.
Amazingly, the game was created by only two people. It is available as a download on Wii for $15 or on PC for $20. A demo can be downloaded here.

How can I help you? No really, is there something specific I can assist you in? Ask me anything self-employed, writing, design, or life related, and I'll gratuitously reply (usually same day) or put you in contact with someone who can. The Smooth Harold Helpdesk is at your service!
Over the years, I've benefited both personally and professionally from kind and intelligent individuals over lunch. Yes, good people still exist. So if you're ever in the greater Salt Lake area (all are welcome) and want to grab a friendly bite, don't hesitate to ask.

I’ll second that. And to prove that Blake’s no liar, he called me to talk about how much awesome this game contains for, like, a half hour. I felt like we were in high school!

Do you think this would qualify as “studying for my physics class?”
