Bored while you wait for someone to text back? Now you can challenge friends for high scores on Facebook Messenger’s new Instant Games. Available right from your message threads, the games load in seconds because they’re built on the HTML5 and not downloaded like clunky native apps.
Facebook hopes some friendly competition will get you to spend even more time in Messenger. You compete via high scores instead of directly at the same time. Instant Games has launched in 30 countries including the U.S., with 17 games from classic developers like Bandai Namco, Konami, and Taito as well as newer studios like Zynga and King.

Today the company announced that it’s launching offline playback for “many of your favorite streaming series and movies.” Right now, that selection includes stuff made by Netflix (Stranger Things, The Crown, Narcos, Orange is the New Black, etc) but also a lot of other random choices. You’ve got Breaking Bad, Mad Men,along with… Paddington and Minions and Kung Fu Panda 3. This is going to be a huge deal for parents.
Other movies available include Boyhood, Pulp Fiction, Nightcrawler, Good Will Hunting, Hot Fuzz, and more. Netflix says more content will support downloads in the near future.
