Here Comes Fred

September 06th, 2007 | Category: Politics

It’s official: Fred Thompson is running. The conventional wisdom has it that he lost his momentum by waiting this long to enter. The conventional wisdom is concocted by people who have trouble remembering that 95 percent of the country isn’t paying attention to the campaign yet. (The other five percent is running.)

Go Fred Go methinks.

So you think you’re a good gamer…

Would you put money on it? Or rather would you like to earn money from your l33t FPS skills. There is a beta test going off a new FPS for money called Kwari. I have signed up…but am annoyed because I thought up this idea a long time ago and everyone I knew thought I was nuts. Alright more so than usual. So anyone here guessing how fast certain countries are going to move to ban it?

Their advert on YouTube is so subtle.

I hope I do better than I have done with Duels where my keeness to get levels has meant I have a record about as good as Portsmouth in the Premier League. They are still working out the kinks and game balance on Duels but my record is still pretty bad. There are worse however.

If you register please use Lagwolf as your referer. I need to earn my badge for a quest!

Tips on beating common carnival games:

Coin Toss Game:

The object is to toss a coin onto a plate without the coin bouncing off. There are a few tricks to increasing the odds of winning this game:

1. Use a very high arc, with as little spin as possible when tossing the coin. You can even try tossing the coin right up into the hanging stuffed animals above.

2. Covertly cover the coin with spit before tossing it.

Dark Continent art

September 06th, 2007 | Category: Art

Those looking to have something different around have long looked far afield for their art. For quite a long time people have been getting African Paintings to add a bit of spice to their surroundings. And no I am not talking about the trendy ones who have it around as long as its “in” to look like they are with it. I also found you less like a trendy if you have actually been somewhere that the art comes from. Then you don’t sound like an advert when you are talking about it.
