PRODUCTIVITY REDUCTION DEVICE

It’s Monday, so why not skive off work for the rest of the afternoon and play this.

Made 213 before crashing again on 3rd attempt. It has an egg beater for an engine.

The ease with which this helicopter crashes indicates it is obviously a Black Hawk. (496 miles with a frozen stick- this thing responds like a watermelon truck).

Nearly made it to the first obstacle.

Got up to 617 on 66th attempt. But I'm way to busy to play stuff like this.

Dismal scores. I thought you guys were more coordinated. >:)

It's a bummer C.Kent not being super heroes unless you, no , you didn't, crash into the first wall? What happened?

1367! Thankyou, people! No, really, keep your seats.

It must be something psycho about this computer - it's quite slow and it's heaps easier.

This bloody game's addictive.

1100. Not quite a Gabor.

Buggar I've just wasted 3/4 hour and I still didn't get there! Tim please stick to matters political etc and no more bloody games. Have some pity on us weaker vessels PLEASE!

Great. Now I have to go to bed with wet hair & all the windows open so I can develop a raging head cold, phone in sick & work on my locomotor skills, whilst sipping on medicinal vodka.

1295... another really good time wasting game is http://www.liquid.se/pong.html btw

Posted by: Tim A at June 23, 2003 at 08:35 PM

Enough! I say enough!

I have been playing this for bloody hours and I have an exam in two days time. My next best was 1187, and I had about 10 above 750.

I have a headache, and I agree with Lawrie. I am one such weaker vessel.

799 on my third try. It's amazingly amusing. Shame the hitbox is so large.

Posted by: Ken at June 23, 2003 at 09:20 PM

Howizeeeeeeeeeee!

2407!!! I kid you not!

You know how athletes talk about the zone? Well I've been there, my friends. I had the little bastard on a string.

Posted by: Gabor at June 23, 2003 at 10:41 PM

798 on the sixth try and a cramp in the arm.

Posted by: Niall at June 23, 2003 at 11:22 PM

Damn you!

Posted by: C. Tulk at June 24, 2003 at 06:08 AM

I keep playing this game with rather horrid graphics.....why must these things be addictive!

Current High Score: 2894

Make no mistake, websch0lar, I shall have my revenge.

Posted by: Gabor at June 24, 2003 at 12:27 PM

Revenge? Could we at least play a more challenging game? Good luck Gabor!

Posted by: websch01ar at June 25, 2003 at 12:00 AM

2052....I was beginning to think that was pretty good, until I got to those last few comments. I am clearly out of my depth.
