NYT website article lets you blow up ads, headlines, photos

4/4/2012

You can literally destroy the New York Times' website today. Well, one page of it, at least. The paper has creatively added an Asteroids-style game atop an article about video games, which lets you blast away headlines, ads, photos and other items on the page with the tap of your spacebar. (Too bad this feature doesn't exist on the Times' opinion pages.) The much-less-fun accompanying (and lengthy) article is about how we are living in a world of addictive "stupid games" such as Tetris, Angry Birds, Farmville and others that basically waste our time, just like the Times' page.
