I'm addicted.

There's no help for me, but there may be for you. Whatever you do, do not try SuDoku.

Here.
Here.
And here.

If you live outside the U.S., it may already be too late for you. But, Americans, you can save yourselves. Don't click on those links. They will devour your souls.

It's deceptively easy. You just have to fill in the grid with numbers 1 - 9 in all the rows, columns, and 3x3 squares. It's fun. It requires no math. You think you can escape, but you can't.

This game will cause the modern world to grind to a halt.

Heaven help us all.

Good thing about that weekend, though.

I thought I was immune. I thought Orisinal (http://www.ferryhalim.com/orisinal/) already had all of my soul. I mean, the game with the little boy on a cloud is so much fun.

Let the record stand, I can quit SuDoku any time I want. Seriously.

Hi, this is Lord The Night Knight.

Ferry Halim won't load. What gives? I love that site. Why can't I access it?

Nice to meet you Lord The Night Knight

Of course you can quit. Today, tomorrow, whenever you want.

Orisinal is the best place ever. Many an hour I've spent there. The dragon game (http://www.ferryhalim.com/orisinal/g2/dragon.htm) is awesome! And not just because of the music because they all have good music.

The dragon game is awesome, but I like Journey to the Bottom of the Sea (http://www.ferryhalim.com/orisinal/g3/sea.htm) more. Also the panda game. The star game is kinda fun but I didn't get it at first.

You are most welcome. Some of them are too cute for my liking but most of them are just cute enough to be fun. I'm taking a break from the panda game to write this.

I have found the duck/acorn game to be strangely calming. I think it's the music. But the Journey to the Bottom of the Sea is fun, even if I underjump all the time.

I clicked on the link....but i didn't do anything, i just looked, i swear.....

but now the game is haunting me!!!!!!!

Now i really really really want to try it....great, this is going to keep me up all night because i never tried it. I'm going to be sitting up at 3am, after i've already shutdown my comp and be like "ya know, i never tried that game Evadne said not to try because it would consume my soul....maybe i should try it...no! i shouldn't!....yes, maybe i should, just one time...."

I think i'm going to go take a sleeping pill, just to save myself.

Thanks and Cheers,

But your dreams will be filled with numbers! Just like mine (this is true, but not serious, as I have also dreamt of Tetris).

Tetris gets into your head until you start seeing everything in little blocks falling around.

Luckily, my download was a free trial and it ran out. I think I'm free.

Tetris is the most addictive game ever. I can play for hours.

I wish I had a download that ran out, but I have it on disk. (Yes, a 3.5" floppy disk. I'm just that old school.)

I don't think I'll become addicted, because a) number games aren't my thing, and b) I still haven't figured out how it works.

BTW, I love that ferryhalim site (even if it won't load right now). It couldn't be any more mellow if you smoked weed while playing.

I have to admit, the on-line SuDoku is difficult to get. It took me several times to figure it out. I usually print them and do them in class.

But, if you can't get into number games, count yourself lucky.

First of all, I hate mathematics. Geometry, algebra, physics, calculus, trigonometry.. I hate all of it.

So, with me harboring all of this hate, I do think I have escaped the ungodly wrath of this supposedly all-consuming game.

Besides.. I`m too young to be consumed.

Well, I hate math too. There's no actual math in this game, just numbers. But if you have escaped, count your young soul lucky.

I hate this game. I can safely say that I will never complete one, because I will never attempt one. I have enough opportunities for self-humiliation in my life without this horrible game.

I have dyscalculia, a numerical form of dyslexia. So basically Suduko to me is what Scrabble is to someone who can't spell.

Okay, lets see what I have:

Vanilla (http://www.eyezmaze.com/vanilla/index.html): where you grow a bush and try not to hit the sides of the screen. Harder than it sounds. And I have no idea what the title is supposed to mean.

Harvey Wallbanger (http://www.groovyjava.com/games/harvey-wallbanger/harvey-wallbanger.php): a disco themed game where a disco ball pretends to be Sonic the Hedgehog.

Squares (http://www.albinoblacksheep.com/flash/squares2.php): if Piet Mondrian created a Flash game, this would be it. Collect black squares and miss red ones. Cool music too.

Mastermind (http://imagiware.com/masterweb/): It's Mastermind! C'mon!

Super Sweep (http://gprime.net/game/earth.php): Protect the earth with your giant paddle.

Hope one of these is good for you.

You heartless person you! Why do you post THREE links to the game if you don't want people to be consumed by the evil game?! You just don't want to suffer alone, eh? Tsk tsk. (heh, kidding. I don't care really.)

I for one won't click the link. Besides, anything that involves numbers will never take over MY soul. I have an anti-math force field surrounding me! Ha! >:D

I am also of the anti-math league. And yet, my soul has been consumed. (No actual math probably helps.) But you are lucky, you are.

Just saw Howl's Moving Castle tonight with my brother.

It was good. It was very good. So good, in fact, that we were debating waiting for the very next showing and seeing it again. (Though Miyazaki-san is one of my favourite directors, so mayhap I am a bit prejudiced.)

You've GOT to see it. I wanna know what you think.

I also thought it was excellent, so I doubt you're prejudiced (much).

Ah, nevermind.

I agree, the damn thing's addictive. If I ever had a life before, I don't now that I'm inside all day trying to figure out the solution to these puzzles!

I've been addicted for about three weeks now, thanks to my evil cousin.

I bring puzzles into my class because the prof is just that boring. My life is being swallowed as well.

I've only been addicted for two weeks now thanks to the newspaper I was reading in church. I usually start doing the puzzles when I'm watching TV ('cuz my fingers start hurting from typing so much).

They say that people are actually forgetting to pick up their kids and/or cook meals for their family because of this game. I think you're right, it's bringing the world to a halt.

Next on 20/20: SuDoKu -- The Game That Will Conquer The World (mostly because all of the major world leaders are too busy playing it to pay attention to their countries, therefore allowing Vkitty to rule).

I see great power in the future of any person who learns to wield the powers of the great SuDoKu...

Yes, I am weird.
