Long weekend after a long slog, thanks to Columbus. Nothing heavy here, on the surface anyway.

Current favorite online games:

I like to put my brain in neutral and let my subconscious chew on things. Certain online games are great for this. They're never role-playing, multiplayer or violent games.

The 10-year-old and I bonded on games.

The kid's: Wink (about)

Without doubt, my favorite part of Wink: The Game is the emphasis on stealth over brute force. Wink is not exactly a tough guy: his most useful skill is the ability to vanish into the shadows and, whenever one of the hooded, glowy-eyed baddies passes by, creep up from behind and knock the enemy out.

Mine: Mindscape (about)

This game is a brilliantly conceived and executed platformer of the highest level. It's a testament to the level design that I somehow never got lost, even though at a few points I was literally free-falling through tunnels with the screen turning and tilting at each intersection.
