A new way to play with your food

During my middle school years, I was totally and completely addicted to Tetris. I played every afternoon when I came home from school and when I closed my eyes at night, I still saw the pieces falling into place. Truly, the only reason I don't still play obsessively is that I don't have a program that runs on my current computer (and I'm planning on keeping it that way).

However, a friend emailed me a link today that has me rethinking my position on Tetris. How can I not love how it has been reinvented using waffles in place of the colored blocks! It makes me consider pulling out my own waffle iron and making a game board on my own.

Thanks Eric!

Diner Dash 2

Diner Dash 2 is the follow-up to the popular online computer game Diner Dash, set in San Francisco. In the original game, you control the character Flo as she opens and runs her diner business, doing everything from waiting tables to checking the books at night. In the new Diner Dash 2, Flo branches out and helps her friends save their restaurants from an evil corporation. The brightly colored game, put out by the company PlayFirst, is relatively simple when compared to some of the fantastically complicated, graphic-heavy role playing games that are released for systems like X-box and, aside from the occasionally irate customer, the game is violence free. It is realistic, though, and all the functions of running and operating real diners can happen at any time - from placating impatient customers to getting good tips. Diner Dash 1 and 2 are marketed slightly more towards women than the average computer game and, perhaps not surprisingly, the strategy is working and more women are playing. Some of the biggest growth can be seen in the 35 women's demographic, who don't talk about their gaming habits much, but still turn to the 'net for a 20 minute break from work.
