Rather be first, than play Pendulumca.
Posted by: Edgar Greenberg | May 09, 2006 at 01:39 PM
Actually now that I played Pendulumca, I'd still rather be first.
Posted by: Edgar Greenberg | May 09, 2006 at 01:41 PM
i don't get how to do it
Posted by: lollyk | May 09, 2006 at 01:46 PM
Not being able to read Japanese, what is the point of this exercise? Impaling the robot? I've got that down.
Posted by: SlickRick | May 09, 2006 at 01:46 PM
wonders what it says about me that I read it as the "Corn and green beans" type of produce.
Posted by: Jemmy (unwell,please excuse) | May 09, 2006 at 01:47 PM
OK, I got 2 jumps and 83 meters before I became distracted.

For once a real productivity enhancer! It drove me right back to work.
Posted by: fivver | May 09, 2006 at 01:48 PM
Cooool. At first. Bored now. Next!
Posted by: Tamara Rhymes With Camera | May 09, 2006 at 01:51 PM
I kinda liked it until the little dude went up above where I could see him, and then eventually came back down, and then it was over 'cause he died.
Then I discovered I liked the dying part.

So you all agree being First would have been more fun?
Posted by: Edgar Greenberg | May 09, 2006 at 01:53 PM
Being first only counts when you check out the link first. Otherwise, you just have a premature e-jerk-culation.

College students of the world...
Study for your exams.
Posted by: Scott | May 09, 2006 at 01:59 PM
I think it is an interactive visual metaphor for man's spiraling dependancy on technology. And by destroying the pendulem are we symbotically saving ourselves? Nay, mankind?

Dyslexics of the world...
Untie.

What Annie said.
Posted by: Jemmy the I-Just-Get-These-Headaches | May 09, 2006 at 02:00 PM
For your information, I did check out the link FIRST on both posts. And I even clicked on it so there. :-P
Posted by: Edgar Greenberg | May 09, 2006 at 02:02 PM
What Edgar said.
Posted by: Jemmy the I-Just-Get-These-Headaches | May 09, 2006 at 02:03 PM
Hey, I made him go -23m.... no, wait, -26m. Gosh, this is exciting. Who needs mind-altering drugs when we have this?
Posted by: PeaceEtc | May 09, 2006 at 02:03 PM
Or not..The music is horrible..Kinda reminds me of the "developers, developers, developers,developers" remix..
Posted by: Sean | May 09, 2006 at 02:05 PM
OH GAWD!
Developers! Developers! Developers! Developers!
Developers! Developers! Developers! Developers!
*grabs head* EARWORM!
Posted by: Tamara Rhymes With Camera | May 09, 2006 at 02:10 PM
Jemmy - pick a medication and stick with it. :^P
Posted by: Annie Where-but-here | May 09, 2006 at 02:22 PM
Edgar - I'm telling your mom:
Comments
No idea what this article is about, but no one else commented, and that is enough.

I assumed that a 'productivity enhancer' was something WAY different.
Posted by: Musically Challenged | May 09, 2006 at 02:28 PM
Annie-- it's basically a preemptive apology for anything I might say that is rambling or does not make sense. Of course, that leaves me without an excuse for all the other times I post, but I'm trying to come up with a believable yet unresearchable one. :-)
Posted by: Jemmy the I-Just-Get-These-Headaches | May 09, 2006 at 02:28 PM
So it's bad then that I'm actually entertained by this? (Made the little robot go 447 meters so far...and studiously continuing to avoid studying for the 4:15 exam...)
Posted by: Sheridan | May 09, 2006 at 02:30 PM
If you fly too high too fast, you drop like a brick.
Posted by: «LabSpecimen» | May 09, 2006 at 02:38 PM
Every 500m = a level up. What's the reward for a level up you might ask (but probably don't really care)? A *breaking glass* sound and the same ole same ole. I got to 1085 before I got tired of it.
Posted by: Sarcasmo | May 09, 2006 at 02:40 PM
Oh, now I get it. If they said that you were supposed to just Spider-Man your (not you're) way through the game, then it'd have made a lot more sense.
For those still confused: try to stick the web to the gray bars on the cieling. The little robot guy will swing forward. If he hits the spikes on the ground, he dies. Keep moving forward as long as possible.
Thank goodness my finals are all finished...
Posted by: will | May 09, 2006 at 02:40 PM
...Developers! Developers! Developers! Developers!
Developers! Developers! Developers! Developers!...
Posted by: Tamara Rhymes With Camera | May 09, 2006 at 02:45 PM
You OK, Tamara?
(I have actually never heard the Developers whatever, but I will now go out of my way to avoid ever hearing it.)
Posted by: Jemmy the I-Just-Get-These-Headaches | May 09, 2006 at 02:47 PM
I'm with Jemmy, I don't think I ever want to hear the developers thing, also, I thought it said produce too.
Posted by: Sarah J | May 09, 2006 at 02:55 PM
*stares at Jemmy*
*grins*
*lets right eye twitch to the beat*
Posted by: Tamara Rhymes With Camera | May 09, 2006 at 02:56 PM
OH!!! i get it now. thank you will! not that it's improved my game anyway, but i feel more productive already
Posted by: crossgirl | May 09, 2006 at 02:56 PM
This is the part where I should really get to my studying, but it's so hard when you're up to 1164m and you're SO sure you can do better...
Posted by: Sheridan | May 09, 2006 at 03:07 PM
Scotts of the world... my exams aren't for another three weeks. Oy.
"Don't sit down! Did I say you could sit down?! I have four words for you: I... Love... This... Company, YyeeeaaaAAAAHAHHHH!!!"
Developers, developers, developers, developers.
Posted by: Thor | May 09, 2006 at 03:08 PM
and mine were three weeks ago! Now I have new classes, what a joy...
Posted by: Sarah J | May 09, 2006 at 03:20 PM
Hey, y'all, I have a question...
I know I haven't been around much, so maybe this is a stupid question, but:
What ever happened to Bumble?
Posted by: Tamara Rhymes With Camera | May 09, 2006 at 03:47 PM
what the hell does it do?
Posted by: queensbee | May 09, 2006 at 03:50 PM
930 meters!
Posted by: fudtheman | May 09, 2006 at 03:51 PM
TRWC- go find her on the new Kilt, she just showed up there today!
Posted by: Sarah J | May 09, 2006 at 03:55 PM
Actually, as a Microsoft developer, I love the "developers" thing - Steve Ballmer shouting "developers" until he pits out his shirt and all his veins pop out. He was working on having a stroke onstage, just to prove how much he loves us. What's not to like?
For MS-haters, it just proves he's nutzoid (and evil). I'll go long with the nutzoid part.
Posted by: Wally Ballou | May 09, 2006 at 04:27 PM
I got 2032! Wooo!
Posted by: Bryan McBournie | May 09, 2006 at 04:32 PM
How are you guys getting that far? I get about 22m and then the little guy bumps into the edge of the screen.
Pain in the butt.
Posted by: Meg | May 09, 2006 at 04:43 PM
And I say: Huh.
Posted by: Guin | May 09, 2006 at 04:58 PM
...I was so proud that I got to 300 m and then I read Sheridan's post...
I finished one of my exams today, only four left! Yay!
Posted by: Dux | May 09, 2006 at 05:35 PM
I finished last week. I start again next week. Sigh.
Posted by: Jemmy the I-Just-Get-These-Headaches | May 09, 2006 at 06:33 PM
I'm over forty with a desk job and 2 kids. I don't ever start or stop. Sigh.
Posted by: Annie Where-but-here | May 09, 2006 at 06:38 PM
I got bored by 159. Amusing concept, though...
Posted by: thirdman | May 09, 2006 at 07:45 PM
I think at each level the grey bars that you can swing on get fewer and farther between. But I could be mistaken.
Posted by: fudtheman | May 09, 2006 at 08:12 PM
Thanks Dave Barry.

I'm gettin' that embroidered on a pillow.
Posted by: slyeyes | May 09, 2006 at 09:10 PM
Or maybe put it on a coffee mug.
Posted by: slyeyes | May 09, 2006 at 09:11 PM
... um ... Blessed St. Judi posted it ... merely sayin' (in adoration of her Stealthness ...)
Posted by: | May 09, 2006 at 09:11 PM
Personally, I am planning on putting it on a brick.
Posted by: LucyVanPelt | May 09, 2006 at 09:13 PM
Well, that was lame.
Posted by: Wavey | May 09, 2006 at 10:02 PM
Here's a link to the disturbing Steve Ballmer videos. Developers developers developers develop...

not clicking on it. no way. Look what happened to TRWC.
Posted by: Jemmy the I-Just-Get-These-Headaches | May 09, 2006 at 10:41 PM
I tried Bismuth's link; just got sound, no video.:(
Posted by: slyeyes | May 10, 2006 at 03:51 AM
I just heard on the morning news--Twitney confirms she is knocked up again. NNNNNNOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!
Posted by: Kid Charlemagne | May 10, 2006 at 08:32 AM
