It's been 10 minutes and I can't stop drawing

[Wolfchimp]

So this is what you do at work all day huh Pete?

[wanderingrobots]

ahhhh i almost posted this a couple weeks ago, and then was like no its to addicting i dont need other people to be addicted as well. lol oh well its to late now. look it up on youtube to see some incredible ones.

[ebrandel]

Man.. if this thing only had an erase tool. I could work on building a course forever.

Anyone been able to get the little sledder guy to land after a flip? Been working on jumps and whatnot. It's also too bad that he disabled the flash zoom in feature, because that would be great to have.

Edit:

Ok, yep, I sucessfully had the guy do a forward flip

[gopherhockey]

I love it when he makes it down without the sled...

Working at bike shop + winter = bored.

I have this on my computer at home. Duncan is all over it. He has a really long course and the biker does big compressions, flips and airs.

Biker? There is an actual game behind this?

[gopherhockey]

There are some pretty cool ones on youtube:

May take a bit of time to load or show up.. but worth it.

Oh, I see, the link given is a sledder. My son actually found one with a biker. It's fun to draw the course then watch the antics. Kind of a game... I can't find the one with the biker here at work, internet firewall issues, I think it's on the addictive internat games site.

HTF do you build in all that crap, particularly the ramps/trannies? Here's to a wasted afternoon.

This game makes it way too easy to pass the time. Thank god I didn't discover it until we were slow at the shop or I'd have repairs backed up for a month:laugh:

[ebrandel]

man... that video is crazy. Looks like someone used a tablet for a lot of that.

More videos here, for those interested (http://youtube.com/results?search_type=search_videos&search_query=linerider&search_sort=video_avg_rating&search_category=0)

It's darn hard to draw with a mouse. That darn sled loses control over every little bump.....aarrgghh!! I made a transition too sharp once and the g's forced the little guy off the sled.....:laugh::laugh:

One final tip:
the lines are only solid on one side, if you make a line from left to right, the top is solid, if you go from right to left, the bottom is solid and the guy well go strait through if he comes from the top.

That guy can't sled worth shi+. Who built that sled? It is the most poorly balanced thing I've ever seen. My guy goes Ishman on almost all but the most innocuous bumps!

I completely agree. I want a better sled. Maybe a FS sled!

Heath, where do we get the game with the biker guy?

The biker DL can be found on ZDnet.

I believe that's just a hack of the original sledding one.

[toasthaiku]

I'm drawing ramps while watching Emmit Smith win Dancing With The Stars. America IS the best country in the world. ;)

[RedSquirrel]

Yeah right!

Looked at the squares with numbers and have no clue what they heck they want... gave up in 1 minute. (maybe a record?) ;)

By the way the title is a clue. You also have to have time to kill and not get frustrated with puzzles, which is why I keep looking at it for awhile, then quit for awhile.

[Magic]

I'm with you John, I just didn't get what they wanted even after looking at the title.
