Even unfair can be fun in the end.

I don’t know where I stand around difficult games.
On one hand I enjoy a challenge - but on the other I like to have a fun time, not spend time doing the same bit of timed puzzle again and again. And in there lies the (first) answer. I don’t like to be forced to do the same part of a game repeatedly. I can sit a long time thinking, trying different things. I don’t have a problem leaving the game in order to wait for a (possible) solution to present itself.
I have a long list of games I haven’t finished. Among them are the classic Prince of Persia, left behind as I got tired of having to replay everything each time I failed. Most of the games left behind are not there because of their difficulty, but rather because they failed to engage me, became boring.

Spinning images
November 16th, 2006
I just passed by a javascript that set my mind spinning (sorry). Google up an image search, or view any other page with a couple of images on. Then cut-and-paste the code below into the address bar of your browser and execute.
javascript:R=0; x1=.1; y1=.05; x2=.25; y2=.24; x3=1.6; y3=.24; x4=300; y4=200; x5=300; y5=200; DI=document.images; DIL=DI.length; function A(){for(i=0; i< DIL; i++){DIS=DI[ i ].style; DIS.position='absolute'; DIS.left=Math.sin(R*x1+i*x2+x3)*x4+x5; DIS.top=Math.cos(R*y1+i*y2+y3)*y4+y5}R++}setInterval('A()',5 ); void(0)
