Fits on a Floppy — 15 Times

It’s kkrieger, it’s a first-person shooter, and it’s a very impressive piece of compact coding, weighing it at a whole 96kb. Most impressive. Link via Waxy’s Links.

Extreme Dodgeball

I wish I had GSN to watch this:

GSN, the network for games, is taping EXTREME DODGEBALL in Burbank. The six-episode series consists of four regular season episodes (each episode features 3-6 games) followed by one playoff episode (four games) and a championship episode where the two best teams in the league battle it out for $10,000! Six episodes will be taped over the weekend of April 17-18 with the championship game on Sunday, April 18.

Did anybody in the LA area catch this? This reminds me of that Gillette commercial with Randy Johnson pelting kids with balls.

The Logo Letter Game

I got 14 of 26 on the first try. If I played a bit longer, I might round up a few more. What did you get?

The Rasterbator

Now, it’s not a dirty word, but it’s a cool tool that will make poster-sized half-tone images out of any graphic. Very cool.

Finger-safe Power Saw

This is one of the coolest pieces of technology I’ve seen in a long time, and will all but prevent finger accidents with circular saws. Link via BB.

Don’t Play this at Work

Otherwise you’ll be at it all day. It’s simple, but addicting as hell. My best is about a minute and a half, once I got the hang of it.

Want to improve your typing skills?

Then play this game. I’m actually going to make this required study for some folks in my office who can’t type at all.

SpongeBob: The Movie

I know I can’t be the only full-grown man that thinks the show is hilarious and would actually go see a movie version of it, can I? OK, maybe I am the only one. Thanks to Heaneyland for the tip.

Mel or Monty?

Monty Python’s ‘Life of Brian’ to be reissued, playing off the popularity of ‘The Passion of the Christ’. I would love to see this on the big screen! Thanks Les for the tip.
