  Japanese are Weird

  I stumbled upon this bizarre trailer for Kokoro Scan (or Heart Scan). Which is a DS game that enables you to use the build-in voice recorder of the DS as an emotion sensor. Although I wouldn't have guessed it by watching the trailer. It has a catchy tune, but it's extremely weird. Enjoy!

  Ball off the Devil

  I spend last week on the south-east coast of England. The weather was miserable for the most part, but on the first day the clouds broke, I was foolishly persuaded to ride one of these:
  
  
  
  And there I was, on the top of Devils Dyke near Brighton, wondering what the hell I got myself into. I had watched the run before mine and it had seemed pretty harmless. I was comforting myself with these thoughts. Boy was I wrong. Due to the wet grass and stiff breeze at our back, we covered the one and a half mile track in less than a minute. I tried to focus on the air above, but it went so fast it only made me nauseas. And the bouncing of the ball, whenever there was a bump in the road, didn't help either. But at-least I had a good laugh about the gentleman who accompanied me on the way down, he had his eyes closed and was screaming like a little girl the whole time. Normally I'm a sucker for roller-coaster rides, but I'll pass on the next occasion.

  Level Wh0re

  It's not in my nature to brag about it, but in this case I make an exception. A year ago I noticed to my dismay, that although I'd been a Gamespot member for almost four years, I was only level 11. And left and right of me I saw people, who had practically just joined, with much higher levels. Having played muds en mmorpgs for the past 15 years, I was still sensitive to the power of the number. So I decided it was time to level up. Since than I've made a habit of visiting Gamespot each day, carefully spreading my activity over the entire week. So doing I've grown into a genuine level wh0re, which has almost become an addiction. I need Gamespot for my everyday percentual fix.
