Say what you will about Nazis, but these guys really know how to have a good time.

This video from comedy duo Garfunkel and Oates has been "making the Internet rounds," and for good reason. You really can't tell the difference between what rapper Kanye West and Adolf Hitler have said. Yikes.

If you've ever been to Kayne's site, you can see why. That all caps thing has got to stop.

Can?t You See I?m Busy is a collection of web-based arcade games specially designed to entertain you without appearing to be a departure from the daily grind. There?s Breakout, the arcade game, framed as a word processor (dubbed ?Breakdown?), a spaceship game in the guise of graphs, and a third one that I didn?t even look at since I realized that you probably don?t care -? if you?re reading this blog, you?re not trying to look productive at work.

From the site:

Let?s face it; we all want to relax every now and then, but still want to appear professional or busy!

So, there's the rationale — it's just "a break." A cigarette I can understand. Getting a snack is a nice little departure. But playing a frustrating video game is not my idea of a break. It?s my idea of frustration.

Instead, the most entertaining part of the site, for me, is a counter that keeps track of how much money their site has sucked out of the economy based on the total hours of game play. As of this post, it's at ?72,739 — or about $6 billion US.

I've gone game crazy this week.

At it's height, this web-based game claims you have to "multitask" by doing four different mini-games at the same time.� As you can see by the above image, I couldn't get far enough to get a good screenshot of all four things at once.

But here's why: Every time I play a game online, I'm multitasking.� They forgot a LOT of other stuff.

Personally, I had to endure the game's annoying techno music, field text messages from my girlfriend, keep an eye on the German… uh… movie I'm downloading AND pretend like I'm actually working, all at the same time!� That's eight things right there!� Eight!!

Playing games is hard work.

But give this one a try if you need a headache this weekend.

One of the biggest time wasters on the web is something this site rarely touches on: Web-based games.

Flash games can be addictive in their simplicity and often use unique play mechanics to separate themselves from the boatload of other games available for people to play on the Net.

Earlier today I came upon the above game entitled This Is The Only Level, an interesting little title with a "meta" quality to it: There is only one level to play.� What changes isn't the "stage," but the control scheme you must use to defeat it.

Um, but as anyone who lived during the late '70s or early '80s knows, this isn't a unique concept: Back then EVERY game only had one level.� Some of the greatest games of all-time essentially only had one level: Space Invaders, Centipede, even Pac-Man were one level wonders.

Still, you got to give the designer credit for his IGNORANCE!!� (And I was able to kill about 30 minutes doing "research" on this topic.)
