So Hello To Our New Obsession

Gimme Friction Baby is a nasty little online puzzle game that uses some familiar rules of online "casual" games and recombines them into a New Beast that steals your free time like an expert pickpocket. One second, you had free time; the next second, you're standing around going, "Hey, where'd my time go?"

I discovered the game via Jayisgames, a compedium of timewasters of varying quality. Jayisgames goes further than most sites, though, and actually offers prizes on a fairly regular basis for games designed around a certain theme. The prizes are not insignificant either--goodly amount of cash, and professional Adobe CS3 licenses. Gimme Friction Baby is the most recent winner. Rules for play can be found at that last link as well.

The last time I checked the scores amongst the jerks here, they stood something like this:

Miwacar: 17
Big Blue Monkey: 17
Muu Muu Man: 23
Barnyard: 24
Garwood B. Jones: 32

Yes, we all hate Garwood. But really, I hate them all. Go ahead and play, and let us know how you did.
