Fun GEEKY Games -- and more! [DONG]

Hey, Vsauce. Michael here. And that's the view from outside my apartment, which I won't be going out in because a hurricane is coming. But don't worry, there are plenty of things to do online now, guys.

To learn about yourself, MisterStopert suggests what happened in my birth year. It unravels slowly and gives some fun perspective. But Sporcle is the Olympics of geekiness. Some of its games are easy, like Guess the Font, and some are amazingly difficult. For the past few weeks, I've been memorizing national flags, and on Sporcle, you have to know the flag and spell the country right.

Even more geographic is this US drag-and-drop. Grab a state and place it in its correct location. The game averages how many miles you're off. If you like being tested and you like Tetris, you can play Statetris. They've got all kinds of maps, where the countries fall like Tetris pieces you have to manipulate and properly place.

If you're already a geo whiz, try Which Is Its Dog Breed Trivia game. But why look at shapes when you could just type? Z-Type is an awesome game where you have to type the enemy's word. Each correct letter is a shot. Of course, it's more fun to prove you're a human.

Captcha invaders send ships to attack your city, and your only defense is filling out the captions. If you'd rather avoid facts and have pretty colors, Bioniccommando1000 sent me RetroShoot. You steer with the mouse, never stop firing, and it feels so good when you let off a bomb. He also recommended Monito. Your cursor is attached to a ball with a springy string, so watch that its momentum doesn't throw it into danger.

But if you'd rather cut stuff, play Splitter, where clever slicing gets you results. Tomdemey sent me Gravity Guy. Your character constantly runs, and it's up to you to reverse and re-reverse gravity at just the right time to keep his path smooth. For more constant change, MissBabygirl3601 sent over Four Second Frenzy, a barrage of games where you only have four seconds to complete each one using only the arrow keys and the spacebar.

When you're done playing games, here are some things you can do on YouTube now, guys. Yesterday, Jake showed me these awesome videos of the world where a guy integrates his hands like he's playing with people and cars as if they're his toys. Also interesting is this video about a structure built by artist Wim Delvoye. It's a machine containing enzymes, bacteria, grinders, pumps. You put real food in one end, and out the other - I'm not kidding - comes actual, synthetically made poop.

Have a good weekend. And as always, thanks for watching.
