Here's some of my favourites: Plants and Pop ![]() I seriously want to find out what the results were. Why is the government hiding this stuff from us? It's the EV1 all over again. Moon Babies ![]() Moon Babies. What more can you say? Animal Magnetism ![]() Animal Magnetism. You're telling me! The Code of the Meniscus ![]() Best. Jumper. Ever! (except for maybe this one) The Ideal Pancreas ![]() Part 2 mind you. I assume all the good stuff was in part 1. If I were back in an American high school, my experiment would probably be about cats and whether they want cheeseburgers. # Posted in the General section and tagged as: Funny Thursday, April 17, 2008NHL 2K6# Posted by Joel Dixon at 17/04/2008 22:59:06Updated by Joel Dixon at 18/04/2008 08:24:03 As I've mentioned I'm a huge fan of NHL video games, and have tried to collect one for each year. A little while ago I found a second-hand version of NHL 2K6 for the 360 so I snapped it up. ![]() NHL 2K6 with Marty Turco on the cover 2K6 was the first NHL game released on the Xbox 360 - and it kinda shows. Buying a two-year-old game I didn't expect anything fantastic, but I can't image it would have been that special even when it was first released. It wouldn't run on PAL-60, so to play this game I needed to changed the cords I was using and alter the Xbox's display settings. There was also some freezing issues with the game, and the 2K Sports interface was getting very clunky by this stage. I played a few games with my beloved Penguins, and it's always fun controlling Crosby around the ice - but there wasn't much reason to continue once I earned the 5 achievements. It will take it's place on the shelf next to the other NHL games, and the Tony Hawk series. # Posted in the Gaming section and tagged as: Xbox 360 Friday, April 11, 2008Garfield minus Garfield# Posted by Joel Dixon at 11/04/2008 21:43:47Updated by Joel Dixon at 12/04/2008 00:26:11 The Internet is a wonderful place. Sure, there's plenty of downsides, but at times it appears that we've discovered the proverbial thousand monkeys on a thousand typewriters. Amongst all of the internet crap - there's a heap of gems, like Garfield minus Garfield. From the site: Basically he photoshops Garfield out of the Garfield comics and it turns into a hilarious comic about a crazy Jon. I browsed the site and he has picked some very funny ones - exhibit A. Anyway, on the train home the other night I picked up a copy of the Herald Sun and flicked through to the comic section. Sure enough - the comic I saw was another example of a good Garfield minus Garfield so I got Bell to photoshop it up for me. When you mouse over the image it will be replaced with the original comic (give it a second to load), or if you don't have Javascript enabled you can just click it. ![]() Check out the site - don't let the monkey's work be in vein! # Posted in the General section and tagged as: Funny, Web | Blog Search Recent Blogs Log o' cats I'm number 1!
