Play Rotatspin

Get your little man from one end to the other… jump, duck, get the timing right and do whatever it takes. Space jumps, the arrows control the speed. It’s painfully fun. One thing though, every time you hit to flip symbol, the whole thing rotates. Whoa. Unlimited lives, but no embed. Click the pic and jump to the game.

HONORARY DOGGLER: Rob Cockerham

Rob recently printed several pads of fictitious but amazing phony job applications, to the creepy but real sounding Serv-Joy, and asked people on Twitter to help distribute them to various fast food restaurants, leaving them in their actual application holders. Behold, one such drop:

How fun is that?

Cereal Marshmallows (and nothing but)

Look at this picture. Give it a good long stare. Notice anything? Something’s missing. No flakes, chunks, wheat, bran or fiber to get in the way of all of that Marchmallow-y goodness. At last, there’s a way to have the ideal bowl, 100% marshmallow, without having to hand sort the box. Cereal Marshmallows sells cereal grade mellows in bowl-sized bags for as little as $1.95 (if you buy in bulk). How fun is that?

RELATED: Sign the petition asking cereal makers to stop dicking around with percentages and turn the marshmallows up to 100.

The Beard-a-Thon

There’s nothing like a hockey fan come playoff time, all-heart, all-passion, and if my friends at Comcast get their way, all-beard. Yup, it’s a Beard-a-Thon, a way for fans to show their hockey love, wolf-out, and raising money for charity all at once. You can grow one, sponsor someone else, rate the mouth-mats in progress, or even attach a chin-thatch digitally if that’s you thing. I’m sure there’s more to it, but I’m too lazy to read and too busy growing one of my own (hell, it hardly takes any effort, I’ve been doing it since birth).

Thanks to Neevy Hadar for sending this my way.

FUN VIDEO: Dog Plays Dead

A new twist on an old favorite. Wowsers, didn’t see that coming.

FUN WITH GOOGLE: 241543903

Google the number 241543903 and push images. What you’ll find is a bunch of pictures of people with their heads in freezers, like the one above. You will also see instructions for making your own. How fun is that? This little bit of Google fun-ness was bought to you by David Horvitz, the mastermind behind more than a few internet games. Today it’s going up into the 70s. You gotta stay cool somehow. Might as well get in on the action.

Big ups to Marissa Bregmen for putting me onto his brand of awesomeness almost a year ago.

Play Tetri Tower

It’s like Tetris, but in reverse and drag-n-drop style. How high can you get? Click the pic to get the game.

Skill Games

FUN VIDEO: YouTube Mosaic Music Video (now with annotations)

A video made of other videos (1.4 million to be exact). Now, with annotations to click through to the source videos. The clicking runs a bit slow (hard to know what you click on – at least on my machine), but it maxs out YouTube’s annotation editor. How fun is that?

Legos + Video Games = Fun

Sadly they’re just dioramas (someone needs to make a game like this for real though)… Unreality has the complete set after the jump.

Thanks to Mark J for sending it in.

FUN VIDEO: The Longest Way (to grow a beard)

Beards are fun. It’s like having a pasta-maker on your face. Kinda.
