Sarah Silverman was a guest on Jimmy Kimmel Live last night, appearing to promote her new stand-up special… and also to give back a bunch of Kimmel’s stuff, seeing as these two dated for five years until breaking up in 2008. It was a tad awkward (“It’s like I never left, only you’re married!” Silverman quipped upon sitting down), but mostly just plain awesome. Silverman brought along with her a box that contained Kimmel’s old toothbrush, his Palm Treo charger, some very large jeans and a a collage out of all the heads she cut out of their pictures together. Oh, and the former couple’s son. Silverman brought along the former couple’s son as well. See what we mean here: Sarah Silverman Returns Jimmy Kimmel’s Stuff Nothing will ever top I’m F-cking Matt Damon , but this was pretty funny stuff.

Candy Crush Saga turns one year old today. In that time, it has been downloaded more than half a billion times and played more than 151 billion times. That’s about 200 times per download! If you’re familiar with the mobile game, you’re likely not surprised by those totals. You know you contribute to them. Candy Crush DOMINATING in Revenue, Life Its combination of strategy, cool design, vibrant colors, and availability via Android and Windows phones and tablets has fueled the Candy Crush craze . Still, its success is staggering. Why does Candy Crush Saga achieve so much, given its similarities to other time-consuming, mind-numbing distractions? Tommy Palm, head developer at King, cites humanity’s affinity for candy, color, and interesting shapes. The simpler things go a long way, apparently. Additionally, constantly updated content keeps its users engaged and addicted. After starting with just one level last year, the game has 544 as of now. When users know they can keep on playing, literally forever, there is zero impetus to put it down. Except drained batteries … which are also improving! Palm also cites social integration as a success factor, noting that 1 in 23 Facebook users “Like” the Candy Crush page, and many actively engage. It’s also free to download, which always sucks you in, even as it offers endless in-game upgrades and perks that require payment – and they get it. Heavily addicted Candy Crush-ers are reportedly forking over hardcore for those perks. CNN Money lists the company’s valuation around $5 billion. While Palm admits that “all games have a natural lifespan,” foreshadowing that even the Candy Crush Saga sugar rush will subside … not today. Or tomorrow, or next month, or probably next year. It’s just so addictive and sweet, don’t you agree? How many levels have you made it to? Discuss!
