Boring reaches new heights with 'Waiting In line 3D,' the newest browser game that purposely isn't all the rage.
It this game you will literally bore your player to death for he is actually waiting in line the entire game. Not once does your player move except for the moments you make him jump to see how much longer he'll be waiting and punch himself in the face to keep him awake. Game designers Rajeev Basu and Patrick T. deliberately made this game unsatisfying to encourage the idea of an 'anti-viral,' to make a game so very boring it can be interesting.
I don't know how well this game would actually do if taken seriously, but Waiting In Line 3D is a perfect way to practice your patience.
