Since we’re online addicts, The Daily Orange will be dedicating a spot each week to the worship of the Internet, our lifeline and sometimes our only access to the outside world. So check out our favorites of the World Wide Web, and rather than head outside, just check the weather on your taskbar.

Game of the Week: Collapse II

The next in the line of Tetris rip-offs, this game might cure your Snood addiction for a few days. You can even download it to your laptop so you can play in class and seem like you’re hard at work.

Site of the Week: College Humor

http://www.collegehumor.com

This huge Web site was started by some southern college guys a few years ago, and its contributors have already spun off two books. One of the creators, Chris Wylde, now has his own show on Comedy Central. It’s also the best place online to find great college columns and cool pictures of alcoholic mishaps, so don’t miss out.
