Games and stuff for the bored bedridden:

RSVP, a Domino-type game where you need to make your dinner guests happy. It ain't easy. (via Watty)

A very cool little clicky game in Czech (no, actually, what little text there is is in English, but it's from the Czech Republic) and it's of the problem-solving variety. Very fun and different, rather slow-moving, includes weird little oddities. (For instance, what are the goats good for? Do they actually do anything?) (via various people at MCiOS)

And HomeStar Runner. I've mentioned this site before but never got into detail about why I like it so much.. It is a kind of online cartoon (using Flash) in many episodes, about a group of, um, people (for want of a better word) such as the Brothers Strong (Strong Bad, Strong Sad and Strong Mad) ; the King, who does nothing much except eat, the Cheat and HomeStar Runner. It was hard to grasp the plots in the various episodes at first, because they are so intervowen, but after a short time you get into the setting and start getting the in-jokes. And clicking around in the cartoons (such as the seventy-odd Strong Bad Email) almost always makes something rewarding happen. It's obvious - to me - that the creators of the Homestar Runner site are having a LOT of fun with it; they keep adding silly stuff, and the number of different designs for the index page alone is mind-boggling. Anyway; starting points could be the Trogdor email, the character guide, the English Paper email or even the welcome speech for new viewers.
