Oh well. It’s now free for Windows-based PC games, whereas before only people with the premium gold membership could utilize functions like playing online games with each other. Now, however, according to a Gamespot article (almost cited it as Gamestop), and confirmed by an InformationWeek article that the PC-version of Xbox-Live is now [...]

Yes, I know it’s supposed to be “Defense” but that’s how the author spells it =P
It’s a corny (acorny?) flash game where you’re a squirrel sitting on a tree branch and you throw nuts at oncoming predators (who gnaw at the tree briefly) while you try to protect it. It’s not terrible, but the absence [...]

Here’s a very simple and quick flash game where you move the mouse cursor (in the shape of a peculiar bird) that eats fruit and avoids missles. It’s a side-scroller, but with the additional variable that animal characters are moving around the edges of the game screen and modifying it (shaking it, resizing it, [...]

If you remember “cousin Carlton” from The Fresh Prince of Bel Air doing his crazy version of dancing, well here comes an excellent compilation video set to a good audio background match-up. Also, check out the page it came from for a few other scenes of him getting his pudgy groove on. Good [...]

At Chick-Fil-A’s across the USA on Friday, July 11, 2008 — you can get free food if you show up in line dressed as a cow, on their revived “Cow Appreciation Day” promotion. A special website details ideas on what to wear (from simple to complex, depending on your wont). You can go [...]

According to a CBS News article online, there’s now a town called Nowthen. It was previously Burnsville Township, MN, but its post office had mistakenly been labeled as Nowthen, after a misreading of a list of possible names by a community leader in the 1890s. Here is the Google Map location of the town. [...]

Me and dad, on our usual Saturday tour through the local garage sales, occasionally find some rare steals. One such incident occurs not too long ago, resulting in nerdy grab at a dollar apiece:
The Ewok Adventure (listed for $1.99 at half.com)
Ewoks: The Battle For Endor (listed for $6.99 at half.com)
Also pictured is my official ablestmage [...]

A Michigan girl, 16, was struck by lightning after reaching to close a leaky window letting in rainwater, suffered some rehab-necessary muscle damage but is otherwise OK. The medics she and her mother sought suggested she play the lottery — so her mother bought a ticket and she nabbed a nice $20 win. [...]

I’m currently in the process of making my own homemade version of the boardgame Settlers of Catan since the retail version is around $50. The game is about intermediate on the simplistic-scale, and it has a lot of pieces. I would classify it as a combination of RISK, Monopoly, and the somewhat obscure [...]

Be sure to check out the Drivers’ License Search and after you find yourself, click REMOVE to be taken off the list. Why would we want our information put up on the web like this? So-called Freedom of Information Act nonsense!

This link takes you to a HTML form that you can write a message e-card style, and the submit button takes you to a semi-dramatic flash animation of a penguin sliding down a mountain writing out your message. Not knowing what it was for, I tested it out with that message (sfw, has music).

An excerpt from the strangely can’t… look… away…-esque flash video, Charlie The Unicorn 2 by FilmCow.com, they actually offer the Banana-in-your-ear tune for free on mp3. Add it to your tracklist on whatever your mp3 player is for a wtf? moment whenever some poor un-Charlie’d sap hears it playing. It makes for either [...]

Now forgive me if you’ve seen this one — I’m trying to compile a small collection of video clips that all relate to someone “snapping” (most of which are anime), in the sense that you’re pushed beyond a tolerance border that you’re familiar with and just *snap* and unleash the smackdown almost as if you’re [...]

Along similar lines of the Chuck Norris concept, there are a few witty retorts that are attributed to Winston Churchill in response to a remark made to him. I am not certain if they are actually by the man himself, but they sure are funny (according to me). Anyone else know others like this? [...]

I like to buy books at garage sales — largely just to see if I can sell them elsewhere for more (and often end up doing that) but some of them end up being worth practically nothing, or so little that the quarter I gave for it was higher than its market value. I [...]
