Prepare for signal intrusion
And now for something fairly different. Kenneth Lightly, the world's creepiest video blogger, has been forced to air his views by forces unknown:
Well blimey.
Well blimey.

Buy squashed corn!
Doritos, the triangular snack people, recently ran a competition for people to make a 29 second TV advert for their wares. I dusted off everybody's least favourite hen-pecked husband, Henry Pickles, for this slightly odd effort:
If you don't completely despise it, why not head over to YouTube and rate it before leaving a nice comment? If enough people do that it may not fail as badly as I predict!

A la recherche du temps perdu
I've uploaded some old videos that may be of vague interest - kind of like web-based DVD extras, or something.
The first is an unused scene from my Gamespower 50 Review, which features the built-in game Sky Mission:
The second is a fairly crappy animation I made 18 years ago on an Atari ST:
Crikey, 18 years. Time flies like an arrow! (Fruit flies like a banana)

Monkey, head, tree, YouTube
I thought it was about time I put Poor Monkey on YouTube. Is it really suitable for a video sharing audience? Maybe not, as it's all scene setting until halfway through, by which time many casual viewers may have stopped watching. Oh well, here goes...
Perhaps I should have mentioned that this was on proper TV once!
Ultra-High-Quality-Mega Version can be found here.

Based on a true story
Tedious site news: I finally activated the "RSS feed", for people who like that sort of thing.

I, for one, welcome our inhuman overlords
Archant, publishers of my local newspapers The Eastern Daily Press and The Eastern Evening News, have unveiled a virtual newsreader at www.newsfastuk.info.
Did I mention it was a TERRIFYING, CHINLESS, QUASI-REPTILIAN NEWSREADER FROM HELL? Have a quick look, but steel yourself beforehand.
Inconceivably, it seems that registering the .com was beyond the scope of the project. So I did it instead. Why not head on over to www.newsfastuk.com and have a look? I apologise for my content not being as frightening as the original.

I don't... eat.
Have you seen the film "Broken Flowers" starring Bill Murray? Were you sad when it ended? Do you wish there was more?
WELL CRAVE NO MORE, FRIEND! Simply use the Broken Flowers Emulator provided below and experience the continuing adventures of Don Johnston. Adventures that last forever.

Crank up your funk spindle
Look out - I've made something new. Although, for the first time, it wasn't my idea.
Here it is: PULL SHAPES
It's a series of amusing photos from the 2006 World Cup, cleverly set to "Pull Shapes" by the Pipettes.
It was conceived by Stuart Campbell*, who timed it all up in a post on his forum. Using my amazing skills of bandwagon-jumping and plagiarism, I decided to put an animated version together.
You see, whilst I have no interest in football whatsoever, I can't resist funny pictures and a great tune. And dang if this wasn't too great an idea to pass up. I particularly like the way it covers the whole tournament, unlike the tediously England-obsessed coverage we get locally. Being written by a Scotsman probably helped that.
So hats off to Rev. Campbell, and a cheery wave to the World of Stuart forum goers who provided feedback on early versions.
*UK readers may remember Stuart Campbell as one of the driving forces (and sometime acting editor of) Amiga Power, a computer games magazine which actually reviewed games properly. His refusal to artificially inflate review scores to appease advertisers has made him virtually unemployable as a games reviewer. Well, that and the people controlling the video games magazine industry hate his guts.
