A game to play on your computer when you're bored

[Ydoow]

I used to play this game on Windows all the time, I made it up myself

1) Open up command prompt (cmd.exe)

2) Type in \'shutdown -s -t 120\'

3) Abort the shutdown before time expires.

shutdown - a

4) If you abort the shutdown, add 1 point to your score, and divide the time delay by 2 (initially 120).

5) Repeat until you fail to abort the shutdown, at which point you lose. Submit your score to this topic for a ranking!

Rules: No automation via scripts/batch files. Must be hand types, although I will allow copy/paste by means of keyboard presses.

I would ask for a screenshot, but seeing as the conditions for losing are an immediate shutdown...

I made this game as a fun way to finally kick my lazy arse off the computer when it was late at night, and there wasn\'t anything to do online lol

Highscores:

Empty! Submit your score now!

P.S. This also makes for a great .bat file to throw in someone\'s startup folder, or link someone\'s internet icon to on April Fool\'s Day

Sometimes I would have to hurry up and put that command in when I would forget something else before restart, I usually won. This was on old Windows OS (ie mem 2000 xp) and when I would go brew coffee waiting on restarting, the good old days you were penalized for restarting ;P

I think, that in this case better idea could be simply shut-down computer and take a walk, read the book (or read the book outside) or whatever, do anything constructive stuff .

No, I was asking so when my sister has her music blasting I can have her computer shutdown.
