Google launched a cool service to prevent sending of 'regret' emails. Before the email can be sent you must answer correctly 5 simple math operations. The catch is if you're drunk you'll fail to answer correctly. I propose a new procedure for the military and frat houses. Get drunk first, enable Gmail Goggles and compete on who can send the most embarrassing emails. Whoever wins also gets an A on math

Chess lovers might react to this with disdain. I'm sharing this as a thought exercise. I thought of a variation of chess where 4 players opposite each other compete on a board that's not square, 2 sides have 8 squares each and the other 2 12 squares each. Rules are the same, whoever has the last king standing wins. All is the same except that there are more pieces on a board that's larger and 2 more players. The game appears more complex but is more fast-paced and allows for strategies and alliances among players to knock each other out. (read more)

If only those who score high in the game could claim their portion of the $700bn bailout plan...Americans love games but when will they stop playing and deal with the crisis seriously?

Think you've got what it takes to build a better Ponzi scheme than Bernie? Always wanted to rob, cheat, and steal from innocent investors? Well now's your chance! In Made Off, you utilize your Cellupoints rather than real money. Play as a slimy Fund Manager, a savvy Investor, or both. The game will end without warning when the Feds finally crack down on the Cellufun community, and people managing Funds will get to keep all the Cellupoints invested in them. Investors will keep all the Cellupoints they've acquired through interest payments as well. And we'll give trophies to those who have "made off" with the most profits. Happy scheming (read more)

You join Third Life online and create your Avatar. Immediately a copy-cat Avatar gets created. You don't control any of its movements. Your twin avatar is an artificially intelligent copy-cat that operates on its own. (read more)

How strong is your faith? My thought is for an online exorcist game. Every time you go to the church you collect digital faith points you can then use to participate in a live exorcism broadcast online. A prayer gets 10 points, a confession gets 30, an honest confession gets more and a communion is extra special angel points. The exorcism will involve real people, real demons and real shitty little devils! Bribing the pastor is strictly prohibited and will be punished by God!

Xbox addicts in the US will be able to register and vote for the next president via their game console. It wouldn't surprise me if candidates come up with creative ads to run while people play their favorite video games. Obama beating McCain in a game and tailoring the victor's words to the campaign or the opposite, whatever..If people can vote via Xbox, which I think is ok, then why not also via Facebook, blackberries, mobile phones, theaters, bars, airports, planes, blogs etc? Where does it stop? (read more)
