Join Us for Battlefield 3 Realism: 28/29 April, Xbox Live

From Saturday 28th to Sunday 29th April 2012, I will be taking advantage of my trial month’s Rent A Server subscription to host a day of Battlefield 3 for Xbox 360 with a bit of added realism: No mini-map No HUD Friendly fire allowed Why Switch Off the Mini-Map & HUD? Machiavelli has been going on about how the HUD (Heads Up Display) makes games like Battlefield 3 much less realistic and she says it just turns it into a game of follow the lights. And it would be interesting to see how the death count and kill:death ratio change [...]

Image of the Week: Win A Dream Holiday

My mate posted this on Facebook. I thought this was ironic due to the fact this paper came out only a couple of days after the Costa Concordia tragedy happened (on Friday 13th January, woo00ooo), and just above the photo of the sinking cruise ship they’ve got a big red headline offering to win a dream holiday. Mmm, I think not. I wonder if they got in trouble for this ? ***** 4nim4l ***** Want to Win Image of the Week? Send me the URL to your image, or email me the file as an attachment if you must.  I’m [...]

Facebook frottage (it’s like frape, but technically less intrusive)

Rather than tormenting some poor bugger by fraping them with a status update about their porn addiction/masturbation habits/sexually transmitted infections, why not abuse the EdgeRank algorithm to reverse-stalk them?

tw1tterband - making tweet music together (sorry)

I just watched him join a band on Twitter a few days ago, and already they’re releasing a single. For charity. And they’re a “Twitter phenomenon” type thingy.

R.I.P. Dawn

She was a wonderful woman – a loud, aggressive, rude, immature, caring, funny, maternal, vulnerable whirlwind, burning past in a Land Rover while texting and throwing a cigarette butt out the window. Unforgettable.

Mom kills baby for interrupting FarmVille

Everyone needs at least intermittent contact with the big Out There. They don’t even have to go out; if they’ve already lost their sight, skin pigmentation and social skills from loitering in the long dark teatime of the internet, they could just invite someone round for cake.

Frape: not just a poorly spelled milkshake/coffee anymore

I must admit, I once Fraped a friend and changed his profile pic to one of him passed out drunk on a pile of empty bottles, his head nestled on a large stuffed toy version of Patrick from Spongebob Squarepants.

I feel I should apologise to the French teacher whose “Assayay voo sill voo play” accent I used to mock… apparently hearing new languages in familiar accents makes you learn faster.

Cybersurvivalism

The fear of digital attacks and privacy leakages (matron!) drives people to withdraw from online society and hole up in Luddite cybersurvivalist hovels. Or maybe they just whine about it and have another coffee.  Either way, “cybersurvivalism” is a great word and I claim it if nobody else already has. (A quick google reveals that “cybersurvivalist” was used by Brian Hayes in 1998, writing for American Scientist. And the domain cybersurvivalist.com was registered in 1997. Dang.) So here’s my pick of the latest interweb’s-gonna-getcha articles & posts… Aza Raskin’s tab napping proof-of-concept. Some kind of digital Darwinism is weeding out [...]
