Billy White writes the weekly Time Waster review for GiN. As you might expect, this makes him the embodiment of procrastination at GiN, which works out perfectly since his job is to find fun ways to waste time. Billy came up with the idea behind GiN's Weekly Time Waster when he realized that a lot of great but smaller games don't get the attention they deserve. It helps that he spends a lot of his free time spelunking the Internet for the best browser based games.
When not "wasting time" Billy likes to delve into the world of RPG's, and it doesn't matter what type of RPG it is. From Elder Scrolls to Final Fantasy and all the way to tabletop RPG's, Billy loves them all. To go along with this, he loudly proclaims to anyone who will listen that Chrono Trigger and Chrono Cross are the two best games to ever exist and hopes that one day his write-in campaign will convince Square Enix to revisit the series.

Black Mirror III: Final Fear ends the adventure game trilogy in a nearly perfect way, wrapping up all the loose ends in a scary and satisfying manner. And it hints at another sequel.
This week the Weekly Time Waster is all about digging in and digging it. Terraria is the game that gets it done and it earns the Time Waster coveted 5 GiN gems award!
Naval Warfare is a game made by an independent studio that can give the big boys of this industry a run for their money. And a $10 price tag is absolutely incredible.
Dissidia 012 Final Fantasy has some of the best, most beautiful fighting ever to be found on the PSP, but also a head scratching storyline that is outside the norm for Square Enix.

Well not the new ones at least, I’ll play the NES ones until I want to break a controller, but I know a few people who are happy to see the new series continue.
