The Lost Realm

For those we can remember playing the originals, all I really need to do is mention the title and you'll start drooling… Last Ninja: The Return. Yes, there's going to be another sequel, and it's being done by the developers of the original. I'm off to dig out my C64…

The Internet is full of silly websites.

I really don't know what to make of BibleMan. At first, I thought it might be a joke or parody, but then I came to the realisation that it was quite serious. Not serious enough for me, I'm afraid; I just couldn't make it through one of the trailers without giggling.

I can't imagine how many hours of watching The Simpsons went into making this map of Springfield, but I do know that I lost at least 15 minutes looking at it. It's a wonder that anyone gets any work done in this world.

The new Spiderman trailer is out (now completely WTC-free), and from the looks of it, a lot of the movie is done in CG. I've heard they've modified the plot a little, so let's hope it's worth more than just the special effects (which look funky enough to see the movie for on their own).

I almost feel that child-like urge to leap around the house, pretending to be Spiderman again. I spent far too much of my childhood wishing I was Peter Parker, clinging to the walls and sending strands of imaginary web across the living room when no one was looking. I even had the Spiderman game for the Atari 2600. Ahhh… they don't make games like that anymore. They don't make superheros like that anymore, either.

Origami shuriken: because you know you want to.

For all those Ninja-wannabes out there who are considering making an entire ensemble out of paper, might I suggest you don't. Not only will it crinkle and rustle loudly as you stalk your unsuspecting victims, possibly giving you away and causing your untimely death, but you'll get really soggy if it rains.

While creating your shuriken, be sure to order a meal from Ninja Burger. I can highly recommend their Onion Death Blossom. Very tasty.
