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.

Episode 4 Is Still Staying Alive

Billy tackles The Walking Dead Episode 4: Around Every Corner just in time to get all caught up before the season finale next week. Can you survive that long?

Lost in Mediocrity

This week I pull myself away from all sorts of other games to play Lost in Night, but were there better choices out there for me to pick from? Ed. Note: Learn to make better choices, Billy!

Weathering the Storm

With some of Mother Nature’s elements under my control, let’s see how I’m able to combat against a few physics puzzles

Don’t Judge A Game By Its Cover

This week I take on the world of a cute and cuddly beat’em up game called Fairy Bloom Freesia. Can it stack up against the much more serious looking competition?

We Don’t Need No Stinking City

This week I join the rebellion. What rebellion you ask? Why the one to fight off our evil alien robot overlords of course, but is it a battle worth fighting?

An Invasion of Brown Squishy Things

This week Billy gets into a new game to see just how fun it is to jump around killing blobs of brown. No, Billy doesn’t have anything against UPS…just Mutants!

Guild Wars Glorious Return

The pioneer in non-subscription MMO gaming comes back strong with Guild Wars 2, firmly establishing itself as force to be reckoned with, and a game to be enjoyed.

A Quest Worth Taking!

This week I take a look at the Beta of an up and coming indie game, is it worth being finished? Or is the Time Waster just…well…wasting his time? How would his boss know the difference?

Plenty of Good Mechanics

Billy’s not one to let grass grow…at least not outside of the yard. But this week it’s old puzzle revisited. But in a new game…so that’s good. The Time Waster is Unmechanical!

Orchestrated Excellence

Billy knows how to waste time. That’s why we gave him the job. Seemed a natural fit. This time, though, it’s up to a symphony of color and sound to make his wasted time worthwhile.
