What I do in my Sparetime

A variety of random links or pointless stuff.

Churches? In MY Tumblr? It’s more likely than you think

First link of the random shit post is actually, yes, about churches. It’s the “f50 Most Extraordinary Churches of the World”. Okay so you may be atheist or whatever but still, some of these designs are hardcore. I wouldn’t mind living in the second one. Scan through for epic jaw droppage but by no means become a christian whilst doing so.

This website is for all those out there that just want something to rub in someone elses face. It’ll give you a randomly generated awesome skill to do for the day like Skipping Stones or putting pins into balloons. Yeah. That sort of hardcore stuff.

Next is a little flash game of COMPLETE luck and ABSOLUTE chance which I swear is bias towards the computer. You gotta get as many points by throwing dice which can do different things. Honestly the rules are in the game and it’s a bit tedious for me to type them all out. If you play it just be prepared for some serious RAGE.

Lastly we have another game BUT. It’s not a flash game (Oh teh noes…), it’s actually a card game and it’s fucking innovative. The retarded mans explanation is basically, YOU make the cards. Again the rules are in the link and this one does need some reading to understand fully but I will be sure as fuck trying this one out sometime soon.

Did someone say browser games…

Well infact, I did. I’ve got four pretty hardcore-esque browser games for you douchebags to involve yourselves in. We’ll hit it up first with the classic game of Pong. Only, in browser format. Yeah thats right, you use a pop-up window to hit an oncoming pop-up window to the other side of the screen hopefully scoring a point against the opposite pop-up screen. One or two players, it’s a pretty cool idea if nothing else.

This next game was described by someone as “BEST FEEL GOOD GAME EVER” and to be honest, I think I have to agree. The controls are a pain to get into to start with but once you’ve got them it’s a breeze with epic music. Seriously, turn your speakers up for this one. Oh, and a top-tip: Double Up means DOUBLE JUMP. I only figured that out after I was halfway through…

Boxes and Spinning. What could be more fun? Oh thats right, killing your family. Still, it’s on here simply because I actually beat it which was a challenge considering that unless you’re lucky and hit random boxes, it can take a DAMN while to get it how you want it.

And lastly, cats. Oh how I detest thee; unless you’s a lolcat. Then you’re pretty cool. This most definitely is NOT a lolcat however; and you DEFINITELY want that cat back in the kitchen. For some reason. It’s gonna run though. Oh it will run hard. So block that fucker off and neuter him good. This was a bitch til I finally got a good layout of starting circles.

What? No Games?

Yeah well tough luck. Here are a few of the interesting/funny/obligatory posts I have accumulated that aren’t video game related (Woe is you). We hit up first with all you stalkers out there. You know who you are. Ever wanted to know where someone lived, just by having their IP, but were never pro enough to know what to do with it? Well, the handy IP Location Tool will do just that. Tap in their IP and GoogleMaps will let you know how to stalk them for real.

Here is what I think could possibly be the freakiest CGI Short I’ve seen in quite some time. Filled with Fuck Scary dolls and a CREEPY ass soundtrack, Alma is just innocently terrifying.

This is an opinion post, because of course, the author has used their full OPINION on this list. Regardless it’s a pretty good list of the 1001 That You MUST Listen To Before You Die. Thankfully it’s categorised by decade, so you can skip to the recent shit if you’re picky. A lot of the names you probably won’t know, but it’s a good way to increase the soundbase right?

And finally if you’re as fussy as I am about having a clean screen to browse your interwebs from, then you might find this handy. It’s a really simple way to get your monitor/laptop screen looking as fresh as it did when you bought it.

I’ll throw this in as a sidethought, it’s a funny website and it’ll provide you with many lulz. The link is a tad long so I Tinyurl’d it for ease of use.

Laters Douchebags


Link Bonanza

First up we have the most creative ways to waste time, if you’re serving in Afgahnistan. I have to say hats off to these lads for their effort in bringing us lulz.

http://www.slightlywarped.com/crapfactory/curiosities/2010/humor_in_uniform.htm

Next we have another game, it’s the classic “Do this, now do this while still doing that but then do this as well”. Normally shortened to “Fuck Fuck Fuck HARD” I got 68 seconds on my first go. Probably shit, but hey, it’s fucking HARD.

http://notdoppler.com/multitask.php

This is a great list of the Top 10 places that YOU (Yes you) cannot and probably will never go to. I didn’t even know about most of these but I agree, chances are we’ll never see them close up. I was somewhat upset to see Heaven wasn’t in the Top 10 but then, who’d want to go there anyway? Hell is reknown for it’s endless raves.

And lastly in this nice little link-fest is one for all the true gamers out there. Bioshock 2 was released today as I’m sure you should all be aware of and if you haven’t had the chance to play it yet then a link of the first 3-5 minutes of gameplay is up and mobile on the web which I saw last night. Don’t worry, there are no spoilers - Everything in the video had already been confirmed so if you don’t know whats going on it’s your own fault

Tinyurl’d cause it’s pretty long actually..

Thats it for this post, if I come across anymore awesome shit by tonight I’ll be sure to update. Ciao.

Gaming Extravaganza

First up we have a new type of Breakout, that classic game of frustration where you ALWAYS miss the fucking ball with the paddle. Hit the blocks and clear the screen to continue.
The catch is, there are no “lives”. Only a time limit. Hit the ball with the paddle and it flies off in fucking lightspeed, multiple box’s mean more points. GoodLuck

http://www.nekogames.jp/mt/2008/12/redesigningbreakout.html

The next bastard is an indie game called Cananbalt, I guess like Cannonball. Or something. Easy controls, X or C to jump, and you just keep on running. Gotta dodge the washing machines and stuff, pesky washing machines, and of course, clear those damn gaps. Quite a lot of fun, and I swear the fireballs from the sky are unavoidable.

http://adamatomic.com/canabalt/

Lastly in our lil gaming special, an article (Shock Horror it’s not a game) but it’s an epic article at that. A group of hardcore Russian gamers take to the PC’s to prove their all in a Counter Strike tourney. Like all hardcore gamers, their eyes never leave the screen; even when a duo of Russian Strippers enter the room. Wait what.
No you read me right, two Russian fucking strippers come waltzing in but these gamers are way too “In The Zone” for their lesbian shit. Pictures whatnot in the link. I hope I don’t turn into one of these someday…

3 Ways to Hack your Brain into Awesomness

So there’s a list of Three, count ‘em, Three ways to do pretty much awesome things just by wanting to do them. I’m gonna list the Three and why they’re fucking sweet. If you want the second link for an additional Two more, which aren’t that sweet in my opinion, links at the bottom of the post.

Think You Got a Good Night’s Sleep (After Only Two Hours of Actual Sleep)
This one’s a keeper, the trick is that you can sleep for two hours of the day roughly, and still feel better than if you slept for eight. The concept is the Uberman Sleep Schedule which, well, starts off as a bitch; but once you get into it, you can pretty much add a couple extra hours to your general waking day.
