Physics Invader

Space Invaders + Physics = Physics Invaders. I love simple math my addled brain can understand. Created by NekoGames, Physics Invaders is a remake of the old arcade classic, now with added gravity. As your laser cannon makes contact with the invaders, their lifeless, pixelated bodies fall out of the sky and start piling up on your base platform. Sweeping their carcasses off the platform earns you extra points.

Play it below or head to NekoGames.

Party Tricks: Turning Your Pee Blue

I liken my pee to the nectar of the gods. As such I’ve never bothered to pimp it out in any form or another. Until now.

By ingesting an amount of a chemical called Methylene Blue (a dark green powder at room temperature) you can be pissing blue in as little as two hours. Apparently the powder tastes like I feel every working day — bitter — so mix it into your favourite food.

WARNING: The guide contains instructions to eat things which are not sold for human consumption. Make sure you know the risks and try not to die in the process. If you manage to pee blue please don’t send us images of you draining your snake. That’s just nasty. Ladies this goes for you too.

That being said, find the full tutorial at cre.ations.net – via About Colon Blank.

Smoke Rings and Tricks

That other guy Tim over at Stalking Venus alerted me to a YouTube video of pro hooker doing cool tricks with smoke and things. Wanting to relive my time at Thailand’s Patpong market, I rushed over to “investigate”. What I found was not a pro hooker, but hookah pro Sumire Wakita blowing smoke rings. Somehow not the show I expected, but equally cool, I guess.

Going Retro-Futuristic with Jumpman

Jumpman is a nostaligc, lo-fi retro platformer featuring a layered level design and game mechanics with a twist. Creator Runhello has this to say:

The thought was to kind of take all the things that have become possible in games in the last 29 years– physics, 45 degree angles, a z axis– and bring the new technology into an early-80s-style platformer while at the same time changing the platformer’s basic nature as little as possible. The hope is to try to make you believe that every 2600-era platformer would have looked like this if only you’d pulled the camera back about 4 feet.

Jumpman is a free download for both Mac and Windows. Get it from Runhello.com – via Boing Boing.

Hello horoscope

pisces

Yes it’s another horoscope – read it though it’s funny.
If you’re a Pisces, HAPPY BIRTHDAY month!

Pisces Feb 19 – Mar 20
You’re stuck in a rut this week, but look on the bright side. At least you’re not stuck in a rut in Bloemfontein. Unless you are, in which case have you considered becoming addicted to morphine?

Aquarius Jan 20 – Feb 18

Your doctor has never seen one that big, but don’t panic. There’s no reason to let it change your daily routine. Except you might want to put a paper bag over it, just so passing women and children stop screaming.

Capricorn Dec 22 – Jan 19
This week you will yearn for the country life. Until you drive into the country and remember that it’s full of shops without fridges selling lukewarm 7-Up and garlic polony.

Sagittarius Nov 22 – Dec 21

A late-night drinking game involving a bottle of Captain Morgan and a tube of KY gel will end in the emergency room, with a doctor confirming that you’ve got a little Captain in you.

Scorpio Oct 24 – Nov 21
You’ll win an important argument at work this week. Your colleague will insist that Porky’s was the worst film the of the 1980s, but history will support you in your claim that it was Caddyshack.

Libra Sep 23 – Oct 23
Remember that your body is a temple. It’s time to kick out the moneylenders, but be careful not to punch a rabbi in the mouth.

Virgo Aug 23 – Sep 22

Your bad sex life is directly related to work stress. Get to the root of the problem. Have sex with your boss.

Leo Jul 23 – Aug 22
Don’t be discouraged by the negativity of your friends. Just because your one true love gave you a fake phone number, took his/her name out of the phonebook, got a restraining order and bought a gun, it doesn’t mean he/she doesn’t see a future with you. One day you’ll make them all see that. Even it means using violence.

Cancer Jun 22 – Jul 22

Remember, a bird in the hand is worth two in the bush. But a bird in the hand can also make it difficult to brush your teeth or type up important documents. Weigh up your bird options carefully.

Gemini May 21 – Jun 21
Worries at work will reach a climax as whispering behind your back turns to laughter, mime, and finally a float parade featuring burning effigies of you. Stay focused, and it will pass.

Taurus Apr 20 – May 20
Do not under any circumstances trust your horoscope this week.

Aries Mar 21 – Apr 19
Be especially careful around loved ones who are ill. A repeat of last year’s accidental life-support switch-off will not go down well, especially if you again claim you thought it was the plug for the kettle.
