Go.

I came across a little online game that I can’t quit thinking about. It’s the same feeling I used to get when I was a kid and got a new video game for my Nintendo and couldn’t wait to get home from school so I could play for 9 hours straight.

It’s called Magic Pen. It’s really simple and you’ll love it if you loved geometry in school. I did…but I’m sure you already assumed that. You probably imagined after a hot, steamy bowl of rice for breakfast I liked to kick back with a nice book about the Pythagorean Theorem. That’s pretty close.

I play all day while I’m supposed to be working. I play at home when I’m finished working and my kids go to bed. Can’t stop playing. I’m sure it’ll only last a week or so, but for now, I’m loving it. I’m on Level 13, just passed the square level.

Click here to check it out. Heads up, can’t vouch for anything else on the site. Wait for it to load and click the play now button. Watch the little tutorial and go for it.

One of the best things about the game, it was clearly created by some indie rocker who put a great soundtrack looping in the background.

Enjoy.
