Kudos. http://www.positech.co.uk/kudos/index.html It's kind of boring but you can hack it up so that the characters say what you want them to, you can change the jobs, and add avatars. It's mindless entertainment. As for gadgets, I'm a big fan of my Creative MircoZen mp3 player. After my iPod mini died after a year (piece of garbage) I stayed as far away from Apple as possible. My sister has a 6-month-old Nano and it's already died on her twice. Apparently, the later generation iPods don't get much better. You know what game I have on my computer that I really like?

I played EverQuest for about 5 years, had several characters at max level with epic weapons, etc. EQ2 I was the third richest person on the server after a year, so I decided to quit and find something productive to do with my time ;) I’m a MMORPG sort of guy, although blogging has kind of filled that void since I quit EverQuest 2.

I'm a total weboggle addict. It's a free online game that I play every chance I get. The nice thing for me is that there is no chat option, as I hate it when you're in the middle of a game and someone decides they want to talk to you. I'm not a big gadget freak. The only techno thingies I use on a daily basis is my pc and maybe my cell phone. Other than that, I'm technologically challenged. LOL Hope you're having a great day Awww, games.

You often hear of "Cult Hits," well this is one of them, but this one, almost everyone can enjoy in one way or another.
