OK, remember Elf Bowling a few years back? If not, it was a really lame but extremely amusing Flash game that was out during the Christmas season a few years ago. I can't remember there being a good online waste of time for the holiday season that stood up to Elf Bowling in the past few years, but I am happy to announce that such a game exists this year.

This magical waste of holiday time is called Line Rider, and is located at LineRider.com. Basically, you draw lines with your mouse that a little man wearing a scarf rides down on a sled. You can do all kinds of cool things like jumps, flips, loops, whatever. It's one of those games that simple but addictive.

So give it a look. You'll love it. Oh, and it helps if you turn down your mouse sensitivity. Just a little hint for you.
