Eat Your Daily Candy

Things you and your boy almost created in your dorm room: a fake ID, a banana bong, a baby.
Shocker: You failed. (No follow-through.)
Lucky for you, a Georgia Tech student and his girlfriend didn’t pull out early — they succeeded in creating Boomshine, the highly addictive computer game they built in just one day in their college digs.

How does it work? Well, technically, we have no idea, but here’s how you play: The screen is filled with a varying number of colorful dots. With a click of your mouse, you create an orb, which expands, ensnaring the dots. When your orb hits a dot, that dot expands and swallows up other dots. The goal is to create a chain reaction, by which you encase as many colored dots as possible.

As you move up in levels, you must join up more and more of the infuriating dots until at last you throw your stinking computer out the window.
Complicated? Nope. It’s procrastination 101.

If I went to GA Tech, I would probably procrastinate too and come up with something so stupid. I have known people that go there, and that shit is hard.

I can't stop playing. It's so pretty.
