Some of you may remember a few years back when I got my hands on the Gameboy SDK and wrote a little game called SuperDog. Well, I've recently ported this technological break-though to the Windows platform. If you think youre hard enough, you can download a copy of it below, but be warned, it's an extremely tough game to beat. I've even heard comments of people being driven to the brink of madness from its sheer complexity. You have been warned.

Just a thread I started on the OzChat Posting Board that's been tickling my ticklish bits lately. The jist of it goes:

MadDog:	Some day I hope to own a nightclub and call it "My Pants" so i can have the slogan: There's a party in My Pants... and EVERYONE'S invited!
Kel:	Thats actually a good idea.. and then people can say.. "I was in MadDog's pants last night.. and it was soooooo pumping" ;)
Ni:	If someone dropped their drink you'd have to declare "there's been a spillage in My Pants". And for the chalkboard outside: "Drop into My Pants and have a drink."
sobriety&joe:	"News at Eleven: Fire at My Pants. Popular night/day/really anytime club is still raging out of control. Firemen and cops reportedly still high from fumes of Mary Jane stashes burning inside. Owner MadDog has been trying to do his part by pissing on the blaze while drinking heavy doses of club soda. He askes any and all to come out and do their pissing best to put out the blaze."
MadDog:	I can see the headlines now... "There's a fire in My Pants!" then "Sadness at the fall of My Pants"

VWWOM! VWOOM! Check me out! I'm Yoda!

*ahem*

Erm, yes. I just got back 10 minutes ago from watching Episode II. I'm not the biggest Star Wars fan, but I know enough to know that when youre talking about movies, it certainly is something special. Most 70's babies like myself can fondly remember seeing the Star Wars films as part of their childhoods, the same way they remember Knight Rider, the A-Team and The Transformers. The Star Wars saga is one of last centuries greatest institiutions. I've never played the RPG, or the card game. I used to have a couple of the action figures as a kid. I think I used to have a Star Wars drink flask too (or it might have been E.T. - I dont remember). I was curious to see how it would make its transition into the 21st century.

I think most would agree with me that Episode I was a bit of a let-down; a kids movie which served mostly to raise enough money through merchandising to fund the creation of the next film. Well my official opinion of the second (Second? Fifth? Whatever...) installment is "WOO HOO!". I'm so glad that George Lucas got some help on writing the screenplay for this film. It's no masterpiece, but it potentially could have been much worse. It has almost everything of what the fans have been wanting to see... and yes, the Yoda lightsabre battle IS as cool as its rumoured to be, the only problem is that it doesnt go for quite long enough. All that's left is for George and Co. to nicely wrap things up in the final film. Let's hope they can do justice to this film and its sequals with Episode III.

It was a few weeks ago now, but it was definately worth a mention, Kat, okay? :)

Gracie and I went down to Melbourne for the 2002 Melbourne International Comedy Festival to see Geordie comedian Ross Noble with my good friend Kat and her boyfriend Scott. I'd seen Ross on Rove a few weeks earlier and though he was absolutely hilarious and a definate must to see live.

Ross is one of those comedians where he just improvises the whole time, which makes it difficult to tell your mates the jokes the next day. I just wish I'd recorded the show. It would make it so much easier than going "... and then he made this noise which reminded him of the Hawaii 5-0 theme and some tumbling Chinese acrobats. Oh yeah, then he imitated a member of the waving family as he was hatching from a faberge egg! HAHA! Then he was talking about Bert Newton's freakishly large head!"

I also got to try some bizzare mock-meat at a vegetarian Chinese restaurant. It was quite tasty, although some of the deep-fried foods were quite greasy. All in all it was a great night, and a great time was had by some.
