Magic Pen is a game where you draw in objects to move a ball from it’s start point to it’s final destination. By using the pen you can draw other balls to drop and push the little red ball. You can also create hinges and levers for swinging and slapping or polygons for ramping or plugging holes. Intelligent design indeed…
It even has great music. It’s like your sitting there with Jesus sampling bits of some mellow Smashing Pumpkins while you create amazing things. I almost half bet that it was the same music that God was jamming to when he was trimming monkey tails and leading them down that path called evolution.
It’s really soothing actually. Whenever I find myself in a dark place I bust out the Magic Pen. Unless that place has no electricity. In that case I weep.
Go. Play. Create. Oh yeah… I rate this a Doubleplusgood out of 10 for the first 10 or 12 levels. After that, every couple more minutes you spend on the game really starts eating away at your soul.

If I was the supreme creator of the universe, I imagine I’d be rather bored. How many silly animals can you make before it gets old? The real question would be what the hell would you do to fill all that time. I’d probably just start crushing all creation with a giant fist or bust out the pillar of flames.
I found a religion-related game that might help you if you are bored and/or trying to procrastinate. Don’t expect to get infinite entertainment out of it though. I’m guessing you might find it amusing for one to five minutes.
It’s a lovely little flash game called God’s Playing Field. The premise is that you’ve stepped into heaven to have a chat with the old man and you bore the shit out of him apparently because he takes a nap. While he is sleeping, you step over to his G-Machine and pass a little time telling folks on Earth that their time is up. This game has 7+ million plays and has a positive rating. If you are looking for silly blasphemy, you’ll probably enjoy it for the couple of minutes. Game play is very limited (pick a weapon and click the mouse repeatedly) so I give it a “meh out of 10″ (see rating scale).
