Here's some surreal relaxing entertainment well worth a look:

Samorost 1 and 2 waiting for your tired, confused mind.

and even more bizarre, this slot racing game where the engine revs are controlled by the pitch of your voice, very hard to race well while you are wetting yourself with laughter.

Hah! Class - this reminds me of Terry Gilliam's cartoons.

I played samorost 1 when it came out (being a flabber.nl addict helps), and up to date is one of the best web efforts I've ever seen for a flash game, along with the excellent Submachine series, but the design is far better. Eastern Europe cartoonists rule.

Oh yeah, i got that far, it's just...... i quit drugs back in 1995......so.......

I royally suck at keeping a pitch and my roommate was already thinking what the hell is Sam doing. Besides, I can't help but stop and chuckle every 3 seconds at what kinda sound I'm making.

So.. I cheated at the Racing Pitch game. I connected a synthesizer to recording input and found the perfect pitch just under the limit. The car's a beast with my new 3xOSC Sinus Oscilator as the engine!

The Samorost games are great, and they do put you in a relaxed but joyous mood. Racing pitch I've had on my HD for months but I've never opened it. Probably not a good game for smokers (although I don't smoke).
