The Invisibllity Game (Flash)

The Invisibility Game is a disappearing game. It's like one of those "how steady is your cursor" Flash games where you weave your mouse through tough obstacles. Except here, you can't see the mouse.

I only got up to level 2 and gave up after a few attempts. :(

CNN has a story about 20 years anniversary of PG-13 and how it was created/born from two Steven Spielberg's movies (Indiana Jones and The Temple of Doom and Gremlins). I didn't know Gremlins was a factor.

There is a /. story about this an interview with Alexander Yuvchenko. He, as a Chernobyl Engineer, was there during the night of the explosion and survived. He told about the incident with a fascinating recollection of some pretty heroic acts.

Wow! A Church Made Out of LEGO Items

I saw this cool and cute Web site on UserFriendly's link of the day for 8/24/2004.

Ever seen a church made out of LEGO items that two real-life cats like to roam in? Someone built one. I was in awe how this guy built it and for his cat, that passed away a few years ago. There are photographs, sermons, and stories.

Half-Life 2/Doom 3 Tech Comparison

This article talks about which tech is "better", Half-Life 2's Source engine or Doom 3's Engine. It compares and contrasts. While both games are quite impressive in their own right, one is clearly superior to the other. When taking all factors of graphic fidelity, engine optimization, and overall scale into consideration, Source is just head and shoulders above Doom 3.

Awesome prank video taped & a guy can't find the store's exit sliding door...

Oooh, that's a clever prank to pull on someone. >:)

This video had me laughing. Some guy crashed into a glass window and thought it was a sliding door. Oops! :) Actually, I have done that before at someone's place at night in my college days, and I thought the patio glasss door was opened (didn't see reflections). My nose, ow. Well, at least I didn't break the glass and my nose. :(
