surrealisting.

When I was ten, I discovered the depraved world of the Useless Internet with ebaumsworld.com To my ten-year old mind, ebaumsworld had the most important things on the internet - everything I ever used the internet for: optical illusions, jokes that would give my parents heart attacks, and... games.

On the internet, there's literally millions of flash games out there, not only found on ebaumsworld, but also on sites just for pointless games - addictinggames.com, newgrounds...

So, I thought I'd start off my ListBOOM series by featuring one of the main reasons why people use the internet.

So while you're taking up a computer in the campus library (ahem. there are people who have to do real work), wasting your time in the office, or killing hours in the privacy of your own home, here are the 20 best ways to go about your merry way:

Simple: click anywhere to create a circle and start a chain reaction as other circles collide into it. Try to get as many bubbles as possible.

With soothing background music by Tim Halbert, this is the kind of mind-numbing game you can play while you try to forget about the fact that it's 2am and you have to start a major project due the next day. It gives you that odd sort of satisfaction akin to popping bubblewrap and digging holes.

This game also politely tells you when you lose that "You failed to reach your goal." I'll try to maximize my productive output, then, in order to accomplish my objective.

Bonus: Submit your score. Currently, my highest is #160 from 161! Yeah!
