Hi! It seems you're new here, you may want to subscribe to my RSS feed. Thanks for visiting! Feel free to leave comments on posts!

Well, it’s time for some play here at Work N Play. I have been trying to come up with games every once in a while but at times my mind just seems to shut when it comes to coming up with something creative. Well, I try!

I am not sure how this game will come across but just bare with me as I tried. When I was setting my 2008 blogging goals, one thing I had in mind was to help out other bloggers while learning from them. Well, that’s exactly what we will try and do in this game. Whether we have 10 readers or 50,000 we have all gained knowledge about blogging in some way or the other. And we all have something that might be valuable for somebody else.

How The Heck Do We Play “Use a Letter, Share a Blogging Tip” Game?

Sounds cool huh! Anyways, here are the details on how this game will be played.

The domain name is worknplay.net and I almost find myself working everyday. I haven’t taken anytime for play at all and it’s long over due. So I just decided to start a fun game ” Challenging Your Blog IQ “ through this post. Well, I will talk a little more about the game below but first a quick note to remind you that for a couple weeks worknplay will be featuring interviews from some key bloggers. You can read and gain some insight on how they started and what they did to make themselves and their blog successful. I am not sure what day of the week the interviews will be published each week. So to stay current you can subscribe to this blog using the menu on the sidebar or simply visit everyday ( subscribing would be easier I think

Back to the play we are going to be playing. It’s a simple game that I call Challenging Your Blog IQ. This game will test your knowledge on whether or not you know these popular blogs. Here are the details on how the game will be played

1) I will list one blog with words scrambled up.
2) The first commenter will unscramble the word and find out what blog it is.
3) Then the commenter will create his own scrambled word for another popular blog and the next commenter will unscramble and get it right and the game keeps going until, well, whenever.

Here is an example

I will leave one blog as a scrambled word, say ” lapwrkony.net ”
Commenter will unscramble it and get it right and make his own unscrambled word ( has to be a blog, well known ) in the following format,

Correct answer: Worknplay.net
My word: “rolpgergbo.net”

and the next commenter will go ahead and unscramble and find out what blog it is, and leave one for the next commenter who might be interested in playing the game

You can choose the blog only from the top 100 technorati blogs. This makes it a little easier to find the answers and make up your scrambled words.

Ohh, by the way, although it is just a game for fun, I would like to quick add that 10 random commenters who get the answers right will be featured on my blogroll. This blog is predicted to be a strong PR 5 next update, so it might be worth something to get a link.

But most of all let’s all have fun. Enjoy Work N Play and unscramble the Blogs

Usually I try to find websites and services that are productive but once in a while a little playtime is much needed as well. Today I am writing about a website that offers a free racing game, and no its not one of those crappy ones either.

Ijji, publisher of Drift City, an online racing game seems to have it done right when it comes to an online racing game. Before I carry on I should make known that this game is free. If you are a fan of Grand Theft Auto then you will love this game, although this game is not as vast or as advanced as GTF, obviously.

This free online racing game lets you drive your car freely aound the Mittron island and you can engage in little missions and other users who are playing this game from around the globe. The only hitch I found, it was long and tedious to get the game to start as you have to download a couple of things, but once I got to playing this game, I had no complains.

Screenshots

The graphics on this game seems a little childish but still has a reality feel to it. Controlling your fast car is very easy and for learning how to play this game, there is nothing to learn, just know about the six keys you control your car with and you are ready for some action. For online gamers and racecar fans this is an ultimate fun website.

So go ahead and get your gears ready and drive around Drift City.

I personally love playing puzzles and logic games although I have to admit I get pretty frustrated at times. I found a great source on the internet ( again ) which has lots of good logic and puzzle games. Although there are tons of other websites with these kind of games I found the puzzles quite intersting on this one. So here I am again sharing it with you. Please click on the link to get to the website and choose a game and tease your brains.
