The NCAA online dynasties still going strong or people still playing COD.

Those are some dedicated NDLers.

I'd vote the dynasties. COD doesn't have the required consistent play. You show up, kick ass, make fun of people and leave. Some people even lack 1-2 of those actions.

It's fixing to fall to two :?

It's going to be heartbreaking this summer/fall when there isn't a new NCAA Football game. :(

Random and maybe even late to the party, but...

go to google and type in the search bar -

do a barrel roll

tilt

askew

zerg rush


Pretty cool (don't type this. I'm saying it's pretty cool :D )


The zerg one is actually a game. Try to kill the O's by clicking on them with your mouse.

I just found all of these...not sure how many still work.

Searching for "askew" or "tilt" using Google will cause the search results to be displayed at a slight angle.
Searching for "Atari Breakout" and then clicking Images will start a game of Breakout using the image results as bricks.
Searching for "do a barrel roll" or "z or r twice" will cause the search result to rotate 360 degrees when showing.
Searching for "zerg rush" causes a bunch of Google "o"s to attack the result page and eventually destroy it but the user can fight back by clicking them. After destroying the results the "o"s then arrange themselves into two capital 'G's representing the acronym for "good game".
Searching for "kerning" will increase the spacing between every letter in the word kerning by 1 pixel whenever it shows up in the search results page. Conversely, searching for "keming" (a common example of unfortunate kerning) will decrease the spacing between letters of the word when it shows up in the search results page.
Type any actor's name followed by "bacon number" to get the Six Degrees of Kevin Bacon value.
Searching for "Recursion" will result in Google asking if the user meant "Recursion."
Searching for "Conway's Game of Life" produces the Life simulation described by Conway.
Searching for "how much wood would a woodchuck chuck if a woodchuck could chuck wood" using "Search by voice" produces a vocal response of another tongue twister "A woodchuck would chuck as much wood as a woodchuck could chuck if a woodchuck could chuck wood"
Searching for "Christmas" returns a blue, Christmas background.
Searching for "Kwanzaa" returns a green, Kwanzaa background.
Searching for "Festivus" places a Festivus pole in the left side of the window.
Searching for "Santa Claus" or "Christmas decorations" places an animation of a snowy landscape with Santa Claus and his reindeer riding across the top of the search results. On Christmas Eve, a map will appear where Santa is currently located.
Searching for "anagram" results in the search engine asking "Did you mean: nag a ram" ("nag a ram" is an anagram of the word "anagram")
Searching for "Google in 1998" results in a 1998 Google search screen appearing in place of the current Google search screen. Clicking on the first result will bring the user to the Wayback Machine's version of Google from 1998. However, clicking I'm Feeling Lucky will go to a Mashable article about the easter egg.
Searching for "Google Pacman" has a playable version of the game appear on the screen.
Searching for the film star Jason Isaacs returns "Hello to Jason Isaacs" a reference to the BBC Radio 5 live film review program with Mark Kermode and Simon Mayo
Searching 'who are you' using the voice recognition search causes the voiceover to say 'searching for yourself may take a lifetime. However rock music is a good place to start'

Shel, I saw that full video.
She would have pissed me off to. She was doing like 58 in a 60 MPH speed limit area in the left lane.
It was funny though that karma paid him back instantly.

And nick, that kid is hilarious.
He has a series of videos out there.
