This game is totally addicting. Be warned that if you get hooked, you'll spend quite some time on it. Insaniquarium is a fishtank game, in which you raise different fish and various pets, and the goal is to make money from the coins and gems they drop. Seems like kind of a weird idea, but try it and you'll see that it's really a well thought-out and well-executed application. Oh yeah, if you have your cookies on, it will save your levels too.

This isn't a particularly complex implementation, but it gets credit for making the fun accessible to everyone ... Steal Your Face will put a face from any image you see on the Web onto another, um, less flattering body.

Another for the quiz junkies -- Which Star Wars Episode II character are you? From Jui.

I think it was Gsohappy who sent me this many moons ago: Cooking with pot. Pretty self-explanatory I guess.

For the librated female ... Dr. Ruthless, purveyor of "no-nonsense self-defense for every woman."

For those of you who have never experienced the sublime pleasure of throwing a rod, Gspot provides this glimpse.

Well Red Storm snuck up on me and released a new game: Sum of All Fears, which coincides with the release of the movie. Apparently it's a more user-friendly version of Ghost Recon, featuring indoor environments.

Also, Red Storm announced the long-awaited sequel to Rainbow Six and Rogue Spear at E3 -- Raven Shield. There is a little controvery surrounding the first-person weapon view, aka Quake, found in this game. Otherwise, it looks amazing.

Here's a fairly well-done site that shows you how to build your own Star Wars movie props and costumes.

Hmm ... looks like the DirectX 9 beta is out. The full release can't be far away.

This news is kind of old but in case you weren't aware, KaZaA died.

Here's an interesting item billed as the first ever personal robot system. Apparently it's a chassis to which you add a laptop "brain." Interesting, if a little clunky.

Examination

Sixth formers at a leading independent school were exposed to pornographic images of women during a mock exam

Well apparently there is a competitor, albeit scary, to the Realdoll called the Cyborgasmatrix. Shudder.

Some flash madness from Mei Li

Dr. Funkenstein and a flash adventure game.

Just for you strip club junkies. I notice there are no Hawaii reviews, so you'd better get on over there and start posting.
