Where stupid things come for their holidays.

For when you have that urge to throw a giant pencil.

Hello World.

Ever dreamt you were a robot throwing a giant, rocket-powered pencil? I certainly know I have, and that's why I love Throwing Pencil!

The game is in Korean (or Japanese, or Chinese, or Klingon for all I know), but I've managed to decipher the (very simple) controls:

Click the second button from the top to begin.
Press "space" on your keyboard when the little coloured bar in the corner reaches the top.
Press "space" again when the bar reaches the red line.
The robot will start running. Press and hold "space" when he reaches the yellow finish line.
Press "space" repeatedly to propel the pencil through the air.

Make sense? It's really not that hard, and actually addictively fun.

Because I like a little friendly competition, as of this writing my best score is 681,000. Beat that.
