Billy White writes the weekly Time Waster review for GiN. As you might expect, this makes him the embodiment of procrastination at GiN, which works out perfectly since his job is to find fun ways to waste time. Billy came up with the idea behind GiN's Weekly Time Waster when he realized that a lot of great but smaller games don't get the attention they deserve. It helps that he spends a lot of his free time spelunking the Internet for the best browser based games. When not "wasting time" Billy likes to delve into the world of RPG's, and it doesn't matter what type of RPG it is. From Elder Scrolls to Final Fantasy and all the way to tabletop RPG's, Billy loves them all. To go along with this, he loudly proclaims to anyone who will listen that Chrono Trigger and Chrono Cross are the two best games to ever exist and hopes that one day his write-in campaign will convince Square Enix to revisit the series.

Loving the Grey Goo

Pour that fire in like your life depends on it, because it does!

Grey Goo is a modern real-time strategy game designed to be a throwback to RTS titles of yesteryear. Fun to play, easy to pickup and difficult to master, Grey Goo will have you missing the old days.

Trials in the Town of Salem

This week Billy lies and cheats his way to the top in Town of Salem. It’s a browser game that is basically a chat room with some extra features. It’s not about having the best gear, highest levels or quickest reflexes. Instead, the game rewards the players that are best at lying and keeping track of details.

Returning With The Last Door – Collector’s Edition

Welcome Time Wasters! This week I’m returning to one of my favorite series that I’ve reviewed as part of this Time Waster gig, The Last Door. Except that this time around, I’m looking at The Last Door – Collector’s Edition on Steam. If you’ve never read any of my reviews for Season One of The […]

Going to a Boid New Place
