The Cauldron

 This will be a good spot for those little strange things people find on the internet to waste a few minutes (or more ), like, Bash the Haggis, Paper Airplane Flight Simulator,  Bubble Wrap and Throw Paper. These were some that were shared by past (and some current) Cauldronites. By the way, you can post your scores, times, etc here too if you want.

So while I don't have time for WoW anymore, I have found a couple of places that I can get games that I either can play on the side because they don't require constant attention or only play for a few minutes only. There are several games on Facebook I like but I also found this game, Travian, and I love it. You start a village as either the Romans, the Gauls, or the Teutons.  I have just been keeping it running in the background, and when I take breaks I build something. You also get attacked by other players, so you have to build up troops. You'd need them anyway for doing your own attacks and raids (which I haven't done yet). Anyway, thought I'd share with y'all. You'll know what village is mine right away. This one isn't like the other games, of course, but I like it!

Played Bash the Haggis and got a score of 117. Played it again and got a score of 445. Played it yet again and got a score of 817.

I also tried playing the Amnesias FlightSimX game inside with the paperairplane, didn't go so well, I guess ill have to try it outside. Got a Global rank of 70,896.

I played the Virtual-bublewrap game as well and got a time of 00:38:3 seconds! WHOOP!

Ill try Travian later when I have more time on my hands.

I actually made it out of the window with the airplane several times when it was first posted, but since  I just re-discovered it again, my best score was 10.279 m, meaning I actually hit the window sill. Haggis best score was 903 and the paper was 23 in a row. The timer on the bubble wrap isn't working for me for some reason, so I can't give you a best time for me on that one. I did all of that in 25 minutes! LOL!

3x usx server. Wait til people start raiding you...LOL Now I've "crannied up" so they haven't gotten anything else from me so far. Heehee! I have one cranny all the way up as far as I can (to 10) and I found out I can start a new cranny, so I did that too. Start your cranny upgrading very soon, and also I have my wall up to level 5. You have 2 days before anyone can raid or attack you so take advantage of that. I have two that have been hitting me over and over. Just wait till my army is finished. I shall have my revenge!! Muahahaha! Ahem...

Hey, guess what? I got 37.295 on the paper airplane!! Woohoo!

I am constructing a granary right now, and my cranny is only at level 1. I am still figuring out it all works. I am on server 3, the same as my brother who has got a two-village kingdom going.

My husband found this very cool game on the M & M site. 50 Dark Movies Hidden in a Painting. I wasted over an hour trying to find all the answers. We managed 40 out of 50 without using a cheat sheet (which I have if you really can't get them all, btw). Anyway, see how many movies you can figure out! Some are horror movies, and some are more sci-fi, IMO. There are several I haven't even seen (you guys know by now what a chicken I am about horror movies), but I knew the names or the basic plot and got it. Some are sure hard, and there are movies from several different decades. Good luck! And post how you did!

As it turns out, the movie that really scared the crap out of me, and led to me not watching horror movies anymore, is represented, too.
