I'm always looking for fun games to play for free. There are endless numbers of copycat arcade sites out there showing all the same action, strategy and puzzle games from MiniClip or some other Flash site. Lets face it, those games are fun the first thousand times but then it's time to find something different. Then I found Free Puzzle World. Free Puzzle World offers loads of free printable crossword puzzles created by a growing community of crossword lovers. You can even register for free and create your own crosswords with the free online crossword maker!
Playing a crossword on Free Puzzle World is pretty cool, you just click in the box and start typing.

It's tough but it's a lot of fun and you can see the kind of crossword puzzles you can make on FreePuzzleWorld.com.
I've been waiting for Team Fortress 2 ever since they announced it's development in 2002! Now there has been an official announcement that TF2 will be released with Half Life 2: Episode 2 this fall, along with another first person puzzle game that should be very interesting as well. Anyway, check out the Half Life 2 gameplay videos released a few months ago to get a little taste of this ground breaking game release.
Well I broke my second Nintendo DS Lite last Sunday. A guy was biking past me on the sidewalk and knocked my backpack off my shoulder and it fell on the pavement hard. Turns out my DS got sandwiched under my books and it broke completely at the hinge. Well I'm tired of these things breaking all the time so I've found the ultimate solution! NorthstarCases.com provides Nintendo DS Lite Cases that are completely crushproof! Not only that, but they are waterproof so I could actually go swimming with it if I wanted to. The inside is made of little foam pieces that you can insert or remove to custom fit anything, not just a Nintendo DS or Sony PSP or other handheld gaming device. If you find yourself in rugged environments (like a college campus perhaps?? :-), the waterproof and crushproof protective cases from Northstar Cases look like a perfect solution for protecting those delicate electronics. I also noticed that they sell cigar humidors. I ended up picking up the X-Treme 10 as I have a bachelor party coming up in a couple weeks that it will come in handy for. Thanks Northstar Cases!
