Andkon games

The game that brings back college memories.

Back when my old college roommate Frank and I were juniors, he was a good student. Just kidding, Frank, you still are. But seriously, he was a much more committed student than say, me.
So I'd sometimes be playing silly online games to waste time, and he'd be studying or something.
However, I got him to try a game once, just because it was a break in work for him, I'd guess.

The game? Office Throw, where you try to throw your wad of paper in the trash while wasting time at the office. The wind (office fan) is a factor. I could only throw six or seven in at a time because I was impatient. Frank, however, was not as disallusioned to silly computer games as I, and decided to try it.

A few days later, he was hitting dozens of shots in a row and failing all his classes. The first part of that statement is true. I had to threaten a ban from the game. He has great powers of concentration, which is why he was a great student and I'm a spaz of useless knowledge. Surprisingly, he's terrible at aiming in real life, though.

I ran across this game again last night and decided I needed to post it. Especially since Frank will be unable to attend the alumni gathering this weekend due to, what else, too much work.
But hey, he's going to be a dentist and be able to buy and sell all of us while only having to work 2 or 3 times a week. Maybe it's not that easy. But that's my truthiness, dammit.
