Take out your Twitter frustrations with Die Fail Whale - Time Waster

Although Twitter outages are not as frequent as they once were, Twitter's servers occasionally get maxed out by the sheer volume of users on the site. Twitter veterans know what this means: you're going to see the iconic "Fail Whale," letting you know that Twitter is over capacity. Remember playing Duck Hunt as a kid, and seeing the smug hunting dog snicker at you every time you missed a shot? The Fail Whale is the Web 2.0 equivalent of that stupid dog. You could never shoot the dog, as much as you may have wanted to, but now you can shoot the Fail Whale.

Die Fail Whale is a game that lets you take out your frustrations (Twitter-related or otherwise) in a shoot gallery where the targets are all pictures of the Fail Whale. You've got 25 seconds to take out as many of them as you can, and a good performance will land you on the high score board. As nice as it probably is for some serious Twitter addicts to blast the whale, it would be good to see another game for folks who aren't quite sold on the microblogging service: Die, Twitter Bird!
