I swear I've seen this before, but I'm too lazy to see if it's a double post. I'm also too lazy to try and click the square. so in essence this post is of no use to anyone. clicking Post anyway.

This reminds me of a pie fight: You have to keep your eyes open in all directions, and never stop moving, or you're gonna get creamed (splat!) Alternatively, it's like Asteroids if you didn't have your laser-zapper.

Quick left, up to the left top corner, wait until the three come down from the right, after the single one, go to the bottom left, bottom right, avoid the long horizontal one, top right. 18 seconds easy.

30.17 seconds. Nowhere near Balisong's record though. My idea is to install some sort of software to slow down the system to a crawl. Move the block a bit, go have coffee, adjust the block, watch the news, move the block some more, etc.

It might be from Boing Boing last year. Nice reminder either way. Onces you get into the zone it becomes relaxing - and then it speeds up considerably and those naked siamese twins jump out and start dancing around like the naked baby from 1997. Lottsa fun.

written entirely in javascript, btw. You can 'view source' to get all the code for it and modify it however you want. Like changing the timing, or turning off the collision detection.

I have this Red square that my grandfather left me in his will. I've been holding it down since he passed it to me as a child. I sometimes wonder what life would be like if I hadn't been clicking and holding a red square all this time, but I suppose that is my fate. The hardest thing is showering with my laptop.

87.38 seconds, full of whiskeys and various alcoholic drinks. The trick seems to be to keep your eye on the red one, otherwise the distraction will kill you every time. There's some sort of philosophical truism in there somewhere. Anyhow GO DRUNKS woooooooo.
