Power und Beauty: The Gnome EP

Power und Beauty is an all-female dreamy folk pop act that plays with weird instruments. The Gnome EP is the group's first EP. It's filled with beautiful vocal harmonies and even lovelier melodies. These four very talented ladies joined forces to showcase this wonderful 4 track EP. Expect a fair share of whimsy, angelic vocal harmonies and a whole lot of accordion playing on this one. It's definitely something to enjoy as you pass the afternoon away.

Dear Agent

Prominent indie developer, Cactus, has done it again. Dear Agent sees you fighting off terrorists in every level; taking out every single one of their equipments while making a speedy and timely exit. It's a bit tedious but ultimately you'll enjoy blasting and fighting your way through all the bad guys in each stage. Dear Agent features several levels and makes the perfect mini break for that barrage of paperwork at the office.

Up To The Ground: White Noise

French folk indie pop rockers armed with acoustic guitars, snapping fingers and unison chanty vocals. Up To The Ground's White Noise is filled with 8 relaxing feel-good tracks that reminds you of The Shins in the New Slang intro, and if they had decidedly less high pitched vocals. This is quiet, moody, relaxing music at its best. Not too happy, not too melancholic, just the right touch from these simple French rockers.

Vidalia is a simple but easy to use software that provides users with a great degree of privacy; ensuring that every surfing move is kept protected to a certain degree.

Grünemusik: Time Machine

Time Machine by Grunemusik might strike you as a bit "weird" at first, especially if you are completely clueless when it comes to J-pop, anime type of music. However, if you feel right at home in the genre, then this will fit perfectly in your playlist. The album is actually a set of tracks done by 6 different Japanese artists. Each of the songs are filled with electronic, atmospheric poppy beats with vocaloid tracks; definitely perfect as an anime soundtrack.

Restraining Order

Okay, so I'm sort of torn whether to recommend this game or not. On the one hand, the game's evil bean looking character is pretty entertaining as he runs after this woman with a child and won't let anything stand in his way. However, it just seems too odd and weird. Restraining Order is also filled with broken mash up of background tracks about love, violence, incest etc. This makes for a dark comedy yet disturbing side scrolling game. Well, if you want to try it, go ahead. But don't blame me if you find it just a little too much as well.

KToon

KToon is an efficient 2D animation program that was created by animators designed for use by fellow animators. However, unlike most animation programs, this is entirely offered under a GPL license so aspiring animators can make use of it for free. The animation tool is still a work in progress so bug fixes and new versions are still being developed. Nevertheless, it already works great for creating your very own 2D animation project.

Akrasia

Got 5-10 minutes to spare on your break? Then you might want to hit up your PC and play Akrasia. The title comes from a Greek word, meaning, "acting against one's better judgment." In the game, you play a small, round character that has to navigate inside a maze representing your mind. On your way, there are various pills that you take which helps increase your score at the cost of a degrading life point. Plus, monsters chase you and your surrounding turns dark and nasty every time you forget to take your "pill."
