DotW: Halloween Drinking Game

Jonas at Drink of the Week has shared this fine Halloween (or just horror movie watching) Drinking game. It includes such activities as:
Take two drinks every time:
Someone thinks the killer is dead and unwisely goes to investigate the body only to discover he is still alive.

I remember when I needed an excuse to drink. [...]

Reader John sent me a link to Wii Music in response to yesterdays Rock Band Stage Lighting Kit.
Holy Cow does this look like FUN! This appears to be the first game since Wii Bowling that I might actually want to play. I’ve bought so many games for the Wii and can safely say that only [...]

Rock Band Stage Lighting

Perhaps you kid around when it comes time to wail. Maybe you feel rock and roll is a game. Not the guys over at Uncrate, they’ve found a way to take it to the next level — show lighting for their home Rock Band concerts. For only $100 you can feel even more authentic in [...]

Corey Haim Loves Space Ace

Check out Corey Haim’s personal website—the blinking evilness will take over your MIND! (Just when I thought Tom Cruise had the title.)
From the about page:
When COREY isn’t busy filming, he enjoys: participating in ULTIMATE FRISBEE and other fun outdoor athletics, cooking for his friends and family, playing video games (especially MYST & SPACE ACE!), chillin’ [...]

Look — when the aliens get here my child will be horrified if Daddy just lays down and lets them take over. She expects Pops to keep the reflexes sharp, crack a brute over the head, grab his weapons and get to saving New Mombasa.
How to do that while she is sleeping in the next [...]

Seems Gibson, maker of fine guitars, feels Activision is infringing a patent it holds around guitar simulations.
It seems, however, that Gibson isn’t at all satisfied with the arrangement it has with Activision. Gibson has sent a notice to Activision declaring that the games publisher is infringing upon the guitar maker’s patent for a concept similar [...]

An 18 year old in Florida died while “surfing” a Cadillac Escalade. Evidently he was in a shopping cart, holding on to the Caddy. They hit a speed bump and his eulogy will be very embarrassing.
Cameron Bieberle, 18, of Winter Park was thrown to the ground after the Cadillac sport utility vehicle he was holding [...]

I’ve posted an interview that Seann did with Gygax back in ‘03 on Boing Boing Gadgets.

Deadliest Catch: The Game

This is odd, but perhaps a smart tie-in: they’re making a Deadliest Catch videogame. I want to be the salty but fair guy!

I’m normally okay with the creativity and dedication it takes to participate in cosplay, but this instance just pisses me off. I’ll give these fighting Tetris cosplayers some props for originality, but there are some big problems. First, it is at an anime convention. Second, the T-block has four blocks, not five. The T-shape is [...]

Barcadia will be what its name suggests: a mishmash of a watering hole and a 12-game arcade situated in a 3,000-square-foot building at 1917 N. Henderson Ave. … Remember Galaxia? Ms. Pac Man? Frogger? Would-be players won’t be forced to feed six coins into games to play. Barcadia’s owners, Humphries and Billy Blatty, are [...]

» Evidently a fan of Ebert’s is trying to help Mars breed the supreme race of M&Ms.

Whenever I get a package of plain M&Ms, I make it my duty to continue the strength and robustness of the candy as a species. To this end, I hold M&M duels. Taking two candies between my thumb and forefinger, I apply pressure, squeezing them together until one of them breaks and splinters. That is the “loser,” and I eat the inferior one immediately. The winner gets to go another round.
M&Ms prove Darwin was right Thanks Ryan  # 0
