Collegiate Massacres/Erosion of Women’s Rights/Continuation of Horrifying War Getting You Down?

Before you indulge in suicide fantasies or whiskey shots before noon, please experiment with the rich narcotic properties of Boomshine. (For best results, hit your mute button.)

On weekends, I like to mix it with a bong hit and Sonic Youth’s A Thousand Leaves.

(Thank you, MetaFilter.)

It's no use, I keep failing to achieve my goal of getting 5 out of 20.

Now, where's that whiskey bottle...

57/60 on Level 12! That didn't take nearly as long as I thought it would.

Oh no. I can't do anything else until I get a perfect score.

I could play this for the rest of my life. My final score was 261, which I was impressed with, until I saw the high scores... now I know what I'm going to be doing (while pretending to work) for the rest of the day!

Phew! That was fun. Final score 250, but I think I can do better if I do it again . . . work? What's that?

Instead of a bong hit David, have Charles tuck you in at night and read you a bedtime story from A Thousand Palteaus by Deleuze. Nah, just do some mushrooms and run naked through that weird Cap Hill park that looks like Tellytubby land.

Can't I do both?

Aislinn, I got 261 too. I'm so proud I finished. This game makes me wish I was a pot smoker.

Thank you. I haven't been able to leave my house, I've been so fucking depressed the last three days, and now I can open the blinds.

Did you know that the sun is out?

Awesome! It's like a game version of that Sony commercial with all the superballs bouncing through the streets of San Francisco. LOVE it!

@14 I had the same score! I stopped counting how many tries it took to pass level 12. I got 54/55 more than a handful of times. talk about frustrating!!

Level 12 is definitely the hardest.

I finally got 265. Level 12 is a bitch. It took over an hour, but this game is very addictive.

my best was not that good. But the max possible is 350,if one adds it all up. So what's with the 5oos?

Don't tell Freecell.

Mmm, I love games like this.

It was easy to find strategy in the first ten levels. After level 11, I started planning my snotty "this was cute but it took me literally less than five minutes to beat!" post. And then level 12 brought things up a notch.

I don't think strategizing helps here. I clicked when the balls were mostly moving toward the center of the screen, and when they were mostly moving away from the center. I clicked on the most populated areas, the least populated areas, and right in the middle. I waited for minutes per cycle, waiting for the seemingly perfect moment. I focused on the screen, willed my eyes to unfocus, squinted, focused my eyes beyond the screen, and crossed them to make two images. I tried to eliminate my bias against the less visible darkly-colored balls when making my calculated decision.

And then I zoned out and just started clicking the pretty colors. And THAT's when I got 57/60.
