The Bored List

[BGH122]

We've all been there: bored as heck, wishing there were something to do.

So let's stick all our suggestions for what to do when bored in this thread. All suggestions must link to free content (or require a free registration), mayn't be illegal and we'll take 'browse and post on the Escapist' as a given, since that's every loyal Escapist's default anyway!

To kick us off, here's a fun physics game [http://www.bored.com/game/play/150782/Blosics_2.html].

 

[Lust]

How about The Hardest Game in the World. [http://www.addictinggames.com/theworldshardestgame.html]

Kills some time. I thought it was fun.

 

[Marter]

Play <url=http://www.miniclip.com/games/heli-attack-2/en/heli2miniclip.swf>Heli Attack 2.

Try to get a new high score.

Go to stumbleupon.com it will keep you sidetracted for hours, or just video hop on the escapist, I think I have seen everything they have to offer *checks front page* nevermind...

Click the "Random Page" button on Wikipedia. When you find an article, choose whether it would be a good name for a song, movie, or band. Put in as much detail as you want.

And then repeat.

On a side note, this helped me with writing. It helps with naming characters, places, et cetera.

 

[Beartrucci]

Bookmarking this thread so I can have something next time I'm absolutely bored out of my mind.

 

[Loop Stricken]

Read up on the SCP Foundation [http://scp-wiki.wikidot.com/].
Personally I recommend 421.

Very nice game

EDIT: Don't judge a game by it's name

 

[MKScorpion]

Go to Cracked.com. NAO!

 

[The Eggplant]

Parkour. That or Twenty-Sided.

 

[Marmooset]

Not doing the stuff I'm supposed to be doing is enough.
Like now.

 

[Coldie]

Warning: stock up on food before clicking the following link!

TVTropes [http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/HomePage]

That'll keep you busy for a... while. Open a random page and let the wiki do its magic.

 

[DarthFennec]

Play the Wikipedia Game, or say a word over and over and over until it sounds like gibberish.

 

[SL33TBL1ND]

Click on random page in Wikipedia and try to get to the Hitler's page in 5 links.

 

[Nautical Honors Society]

I go on the Escapist

 

[Daipire]

Click the "Random Page" button on Wikipedia. When you find an article, choose whether it would be a good name for a song, movie, or band. Put in as much detail as you want.

And then repeat.

On a side note, this helped me with writing. It helps with naming characters, places, et cetera.

What I do, is get two random pages and try to get from one to the other.

And indestructo-tank is always fun!

 

[sky14kemea]

I like to mess around with this cool sound program [http://lab.andre-michelle.com/tonematrix]. It sorta sounds like music after a bit =P

 

[Sleekgiant]

I go to lbl and do stuff and things

 

[Free Thinker]

I find taking the occasional trip to urbandictionary.com and...*gulp*...4chan...
FORGIVE ME!!!!
*dead from Escapist smiting*
