Nokia Spoof

Remember the Nokia commercial where Gary Oldman copies the bard and says "All the world is a stage and the men and women merely players"?

Check out our local version then.

One of the more kickass games of our time

Earlier today, I discovered this gem of a game from the allaboutsouthpark webbie!

Without a moment's hesitation, I downloaded the game and tried my hands on it. I think the story is basically about Kyle trying to save the rest of his pals in the Mario world - quite fucking stupid if you ask my opinion. But what the fuck, I can't help it! It's goddamn Mario... ... with SouthPark characters!!!!!

Here are some scenes from the game. Really worth trying out if your pillow-talk buddy's outta town!

Like the original Super Mario game, Kyle changes his appearance and breathes fire when he consumes the "fire-flower", much to the dismay of the evil mushrooms, turtles and cacti that appear EVERYWHERE in the game. Uber cool...

The idea's pretty much the same as the original Mario game. Complete a stage and do the whole "jump-up-the-flagpost" routine before you move on to the next stage...


I terrorise the little bastards everywhere I go.


The fire-breathing Jew takes on the Dragon- and pussywhips the mofo!



Saving the world - all in a day's work.
I saved the little mushroom dude, only to be told that there was more work to be done.

Just a little heads-up: Do not for once, take it for granted that Kyle is immune to damage after you consume the "fire-flower". Like the original Mario, you lose your "fireball" ability if you fuck it up and get molested by the enemy!

Well, this game is really pretty entertaining. One of the few drawbacks, however, is when I tried doing the level cheat, I realised that the mofo game creators had removed it, meaning to say that I had to play like an honest, hardworking geek. Not cool!!

Anyway, it was quite fun to re-visit my childhood game once again, so just give it a shot mates!

S.H.E.

Nothing much last weekend. Except catching S.H.E. at Danshui.

So who is your favourite S.H.E. member?

The old gatsby - way cooler

Have you seen this?

I don't understand what this commercial is all about. Is it suppose to be funny? Or sexy? Someone explain?

Part II

So this is it ... like you said it would be ...

A story to share.

It was the final day of the Premiership. Sheffield United went into it 3 points clear of Wigan and looks likely to secure safety.

They however lost 2-1 in front of their home fans, in a match which their striker missed an open goal by hitting the post.

Immediately after the game, Sheffield United manager Neil Warnock walked towards Paul Jewell and shook his hand to offer congrats.

5 minutes after the end of the game, he braced himself for the press and said this,

"There are a lot of things that are worse than this in life, although at this point it does not feel so"

This is almost exactly what I want to feel now. Defeat was bitter. But yes, there are worse things in life.

After all, we had to get this far to get this disappointed. The scumbags from Manchester did not even make it here, nor did the pretenders from West London.

Oh by the way, I had a good time tonight. Wasn't as magical as 2005, but non-magical nights like this make me treasure magical nights even more.

For tonight, I saw the beauty of defeat. I have never seen so many grown men weep openly in a pub. I have never seen more inconsolable ladies gathered at one venue. I have never had more pats on my shoulders as I prodded quickly to the exits after a match.

PS: My thoughts are with the McCanns. Hope Maddy is alive and safe.
