Thingy 15: Online games

I took a look at Puzzle Pirates. It's attractive and very detailed and might be fun if solving puzzles with pirates is your cup of tea. But it just isn't mine. Aarrggh! I prefer the arcade type of games where I can take out my aggressions by mindlessly shooting asteroids or UFOs, so I was happy to find some of the "classic" games on the PBS program site. Then I followed the skater dude around Info Island and became quite dizzy. The instructions recommended trying Second Life at home, but for me this begs the question, if I am going to have a virtual second life, do I really want to spend it in a library? I realize that sounds like heresy. I'd better find some asteroids to blow up before my next reference desk shift.
