Improbable Xmas tips

I say improbable because few of you would think I am into video gaming. Well, you are right, I don't play video games, never touched a Play Station nor a Wii or own a joystick (are they still used?).
But, as Xmas season may look long and boring to some, and not everybody is ready to sit by the fireplace and read the complete Tolstoi or Joyce, I thought that you might do with a couple of video games (Flash) I found by chance while surfing the net:
Chasm and Kafkamesto.
The first one was inspired by one of the most peculiar and dangerous hikes in the world, the "Caminito del Rey" at El Chorro dam in Malaga (Spain).

If you don't feel confident enough to attempt the real trek, just sit by your computer and excercise you visual skills with the game. It took me hours to complete it, but then you know I am a bare rookie at this.

The second game is an attractive visual experience (and is not Victoria's Secret's video ;) ) that will take you to wander along the gloomy streets of Prague in the 1920s. Move the mouse across the screen, read the instructions and follow your instinct to solve the mystery of your presence there. I still haven't, you see.
