Ninja Ropes Extreme

So the description says this game is addictive and I think its an understatement. I had my boss walk in on me a couple of times playing and it got to the point where I could not pretend to be working and playing in my breaks anymore. It has the uncanny ability to get you lulled into a sense of "ah this is an easy bit" before you suddenly have to make your ninja rope reach the other side of the screen! I won't give away too much of the game so that you'll have the joyous frustration of finding it out for yourself.
It has quick responsive play (to be expected when running something so small on today's PCs), and its small enough to quickly disappear behind your Excel work when you hear the boss coming. Unfortunately you will probably be to involved in finding the next gear to swing to to hear them coming. Good luck!

Aquarium Widget

The Aquarium widget is my first favourite. Its a fantastic stress buster at work. Every time I feel like throwing my computer out the window I buy and sell a couple of fish and my computers life is spared another day.

You can buy a whole range of fish from a little shop and the fish get changed regularly. The first grow, get sick, breed and fight and generally swim.

You also need to keep your tank clean otherwise the fish will get sick and die.

I'm currently saving for a turtle. You can get more money buy selling some of your baby fish and work your way up to more interesting fish. I'm currently saving for a turtle!

Seeing as this fairly new piece of technology grabbed my interest recently I thought it would be fun to start blogging about my general experiences with these interesting little things as I explore the possibilities of widgets.
