Google Santa games and stuff
8Google has a Santa village thing running from now until Christmas. They are only advertising it on maps.google as far as I've seen.
One of the fun things is a skydiving Santa streetview guy game, where you collect gifts and rings. My high score is personal and I don't have to share it with the likes of you, but if you want to share yours then that's fine by me.
There is also a coding game that is fun but disappointingly short.
The real bread and butter is this coloring game.
For some reason they let you color a picture of a polar bear in snow by an igloo.
Great, I'm already finished.
It is supposed to make you aware of global warming, so here is a dark look at the future, as rivers of lava flow through the North.
Now color some crap and screenshot it and post it here. Be creative. Do it. Don't be a jerk. It's therapeutic.

If the fires are on the bear, then I love the drawing.
This year, they have more entertainment available for mobile users with the addition of Android Wear goodies, and a VR game for Cardboard.
Woohoo.
The sound effects are fantastic
aw man I thought the code thing was gonna start to get tricky and do more than simple loops
oh well
Fun as fuck. Thanks. Dominated the sky diving. Even hit the snow-flake. IDK if that was bonus or negative but I hit it.
Happy little trees

Who else sees '2014' in the title?https://santadive.withgoogle.com
Screw it, I'm gonna start sending prizes. @KDemo, you earn a few points for effort, but lose some for execution. You get a B- prize.
@medz, you earn zero points because what one earth, but gain some for name dropping. You get a C+ prize.
@Moose - Haha. But B-? I did it all for the Bob Ross joke, though. Isn't that worth a grade bump?
@KDemo You mean your artistic endeavor was for a mere joke at the expense of a dearly departed man who spent his life working to enrich the lives of anyone who would listen through a love of art and nature? Now you get a Grade D prize.
@Moose -
@Moose @KDemo
Even a D is too generous.
Everybody knows that the Sun has the face of a baby girl when it's up:
As for when it's sleeping, it goes to battery saver mode and appears grey-ish. And that is when you can see "craters" which is actually where cheese was mined from.
@FroodyFrog - Artless Walmart inanity
@Moose Yes! C+! Nothing wrong with being average.
@medz
Still puts you ahead of @KDemo ;)
Tonight WWF main event is the ferocious polar bear vs. the mighty moose.

Santa's beard is an angry bear

Also the "share" button gives you a link to the beard you just made, but it is generated from the url. So, if you change the letters in the url, you get different results.

My fav thing in Google's Santa's Village, is the phone call from Santa. Only active on Christmas Eve, from like 8a-9p or so. You put in the name, phone number, and make a few dialogue choices, hit send, and their phone rings with a call from Santa.
Here's the call my neice got in 2014:
