Snood may just be the greatest game ever made. I discovered it during (I think) my freshman year of college (2000-01) and it was my best finals procrastination device for the next four years. What's really tragic is that, once I entered the real world (in which one performs a job far below one's qualifications, lives with one's parents, hangs out with one's married friends from high school and tries desperately to catch the eye of one's church choir director despite a significant but not enormous age gap) Snood dropped completely off my radar.
Then came grad school. It has been delightful because not only have I returned to the school that I love and the people that I love more, I also returned to my nocturnal nature. Once work is done (and the load was relatively light when I didn't have papers to grade) and one's friends have all gone to bed, there is time for Snood. Time for a stupid game more useless than Tetris but ultimately more satisfying because I can actually complete the levels, and because of its single-level rounds, I can beat the game and be back at the dinner table before anyone even notices that I'm gone. It's great.
Now, the only question that remains is this: to register, or not to register...
