What kind of game could we play? |
First, install an arcade into this forum. There are so many free games that it is a no brainer. Second, pick a game that is random and you are certain does not have a capped high score. Lastly, make sure the game is pretty resiliant to cheating; ensure scoring is kept automated and online.
Use extremesystems-uk.com and techdomain.com.au as great examples. |

Have ya heard of Blockfrenzy?
But seriously, here's a shot of my CPU usage. Does anyone know of a better way to show it. This is the best way I know. Does it look normal for a P4 2.8. It's all Greek to me.

@Above: Try using www.sysinternals.com process explorer. It blows task manager out of the water. The system info panel from process explorer is also much better. Additionally, you can go to google and get definitions for all the stuff you don't understand (do define: commit charge and etc.) You can use 3dmark06 to compare your system to other systems and HDTach is a good baseline, though not the definitive authority. Finally, if you want to eliminate some overhead from windows, you can use Litestep but only if you're fairly conversant with your computer. I took some time to woork on my system with Litestep and also modified the boot-up screen. Turning my computer on is akin to watching Hackers cause it's not self-evident that it's windows.
@Bruin: PINGU!!!!! |

DO IT.
Even if I didn't enter that contest, the game was still a lot of fun to play
