My Love of Sudoku

I love the number logic game Sudoku – you know that game that you see in all the newspapers and see books of these little addicting puzzles at the grocery store checkout. If you don't know what I am talking about check out the WikiPedia Page on Sudoku.

A basic definition is this: known as Number Place or Nanpure, is a logic-based placement puzzle. The object is to fill the grid so that every column, every row and every 3×3 box contains the digits 1 to 9. The puzzle setter provides a partially completed grid so that there is only one solution.

Now that you know what Sudoku is I am adicted to playing Sudoku on this wonderful free site called Sudoku Slam. It is using an Ajax interface making playing Sudoku easy and extreemly fun.

Here is what Sudoku Slam says about them selfs:Sudoku Slam makes solving Sudokus on your computer more fun than solving them on a piece of paper. For once. There are two basic solver modes. Traditional mode resembles other Sudoku websites (albeit with snazzy features lurking in the background). Sumo mode is the mode of choice: it unleashes the full power of Sudoku Slam and makes solving harder puzzles more fun.

Sorry if I get you hooked on this but I know I am.

Well I am off to another round of Sudoku Slam in Sumo Mode.

I restarted Playing this FREE RPG called X-Kings – It is just starting up and they made cheating much much harder. I stopped playing the original game because many people cheated. This time around they put in Image verification for cheating reduction. If you are looking for a quick game to play every once in a while and build up your army and defenses while taking care of your peasants. I would recommend this game.

My Name online is Merador - Please consider joining up under me and make me your Commander and we will all help each other.

Let me warn you this game only takes about 5 mins a day to play but it can be habit forming. Nice diversion from Reading the Newspapers with the morning coffee.

Cube WorldWell I was just talking to my friend Dan and he found this Interesting Game/Toy Called Cube World.
From what I read and saw these cubes can attach to each other and the Stick figures that live within the Cube can interact with each other. You can stack them, connect them in a row, or any way you can think of as they are held together with magnets.
The Cubes can interact with you as well – Shake them and they will throw up. Knock the Cube and the guy will fall over. They can bungee jump between cubes, climb a ladder to visit, they pass gas. They just sound like a really cool toy.
