A beautifully made flash thing (what would you call it?) with a little bit of point-and-click without any clear goal, as far as I can see. So it's not what you'd normally call a game. It's not new so you might have seen it before. Maybe you'll like it a bit anyway.
Here, though, is a game called Levers by the same makers.

Twilightzone! is a new music blog by faithful Martin Klasch supporter Christoph (AKA Rideyourpony) aus Deutschland. Right now he is offering "Finnischer tango". Yes, the Finns love tango and probably think they invented it, and this is a funny and truly interesting compilation. Twilightzone! also has some great Bo Diddley, Screaming Jay Hawkins and more. To say the least it's a promising start!
