Yesterday was Earth Day and Google showed its support by blacking out its homepage. Using the slogan "We've turned the lights out," Google supported Earth Hour world wide and shut the lights off in their companies and residences from 8-9 PM last night.

The game Viking is incredibly addictive. This is the only thing the game is 'good' at. This game is very gruesome and gory. It lures the players on to continuing playing to the next level. Each task is crazier than the next and usually more bloody. The graphics and visuals are intense. However, the game is not all about slashing and killing; it involves being sneaky and stealthy. If you do not choose your paths carefully you will be ambushed and die. The creators of this game really focused on the addictive quality to make people play longer.
