You may have noticed, it now being Thursday, that there is no new Game of the Week for this week. Unfortunately, or fortunately, depending on how you see it, I haven’t been playing anything other than GTA IV since last week.
Ultimately I haven’t really even been playing much of even that. I’ve been busy with both day work and night work, as well as other things in between, so I haven’t much time left over for games - or for website posts. For those few of you that have been loyal visitors to the site over the last few years you’ll be used to my constant complaints that I don’t have time to update but, once again, this seems to be the case.
I’m working on a project at the moment that should be finished shortly so, with any luck, that will free up some of my time so that I can get back to what I enjoy - posting here and on my other sites.
In relation to this site I’m thinking of creating some sort of link dump. This way, even if I may not get the chance to write a full post, I will still be able to post some interesting links that you can all check out - that way we can get some fresh content everyday and I don’t have to spend 20 minutes writing something about it, heh.

If you want something to read, something that will draw you in and frustrate you at the same time, then I recommend you check out the Mystery Cave.

Just a quick post to let you know that if the site’s acting funny, or not loading properly, it’s because I’m doing some beautification to the ‘design.’ It’s not much of a design, I know, but I’m tweaking some things to make it look a little more appealing.
If the site does look messed up try refreshing the page (F5 in most cases.) - that may help if you’ve been here before.
Post a comment if you have any suggestions as to what I can do to improve the look of things around here. Besides adding pictures naked women; there’s enough of that around the internet as it is.
Oh, and as a side note, over the next few weeks I’m going to be overhauling the underlying pages of the site as well. This goes for the Humour Gallery, the Games Gallery and the Sexy Ladies Gallery. Most of these pages haven’t been touched in years so I figure it’s time to improve them so I can continue to add new things to them.
Also let me know if there’s anything we should add to the site, any new features or any new sections. I’m always open to ideas so let me know.

Grand Theft Auto IV - Week 19
I know it’s a little untoward for me to list a Game of the Week that some people may not have the opportunity to play but it had to be done. Until this point all of the games we’ve had here have been free PC based games but, in all honesty, I haven’t been playing any free games this week and it seems indecent of me to promote something I haven’t been playing.
Hopefully I’ll get the chance to make another post today regarding my thoughts on GTA IV but for now I’ll leave you with some reviews from various websites so you can make up your own mind. (All reviews listed will be for the Xbox 360 version of the game, purely because that’s the version I have.)
For those of you that are wondering GTA IV is currently available on both Xbox 360 and Playstation 3. As of yet a PC version hasn’t been announced but, from a sales point of view, it would be pure folly for it not to make an appearance there over the next 6 to 12 months.
Stay tuned as I hope to do an overview of what I think of the game.

Well I’m a few days late on this - and to be honest I almost completely forgot to update - but it’s time for another Game of the Week!
TrackMania - Week 18
Now I don’t believe this game was originally a free download but, for whatever reason, it looks like the wonderful people that brought us TrackMania have decided to release, at least this version, for free.
To download TrackMania head over to their website and follow the links to one of the file servers.
I don’t have long to speak about it at the moment but this game, despite being a 500mb download, is a relatively simple (but big) racing game. You can either race on your own or online - so far I’ve only raced solo but I’ve been having heaps of fun.
It looks like you need an internet connection to play as well but, if you’re here, that doesn’t seem like it might be a problem.
Anyway, that’s all I have the time to say right now - do yourself a favour and at least check it out.

We all know the internet is full of people with crazy ideas but sometimes, just sometimes, I’m still surprised by what I find on this thing.
I was recently forwarded to a site about a girl (Tania) that is willing to have sex with any virgin that is fighting for the freedom of the internet - protesting the censorship of the internet.
Don’t Stay a Virgin!
Here are the “Terms of Service” for sexing up Tania to help the cause.
1. Acceptance of Terms
Tania Derveaux provides performance of sexual intercourse (Services) to those who request them, subject to the following Terms of Service (”TOS“). Your use of the Services in whole or in part constitutes your binding acceptance of these TOS. If you do not agree to these TOS, you should not use the Services. Some Services may be subject to additional posted rules, policies and terms. When you use those Services, you and Tania shall be subject to those additional conditions, which are incorporated by reference into these TOS (and, consequently, form part of your agreement with her).
2. Description of Services
The services consist of Tania performing sexual intercourse with the applicant, the form and style of the performance will be discussed prior to the act, Tania tries to allow as much freedom as possible in this area but she does reserve the right to decline suggestions. Tania covers all her personal expenses, including travel. Any sort of recording (video, audio or photographs) of the performance is allowed for non-commercial use. Tania adheres to high standards of service but due to time limitations each performance can last no longer than 30 minutes, no exceptions will be made under any circumstance.
3. General Requirements and Rules of Conduct
Services will only be provided to those who meet the following requirements:
- applicants must be 18yrs old or above
- condom must be used, except if the applicant prefers to release his semen upon Tania’s body without any oral or vaginal contact
- Anal sex is negotiable, although Tania will cease the performance immediately if any form of ’surprise buttsex’ occurs
- multiple participants are not allowed, but applicants are entitled to have an audience observe the performance
- if anywhere along the process, it becomes clear that the applicant is not a virgin, Tania reserves the right to terminate all activity
- applicant must be able to provide sufficient evidence that clearly shows he has been defending net neutrality (eg. a print-out of a forum post, a link to a vlog)
- applicant agrees that in the event of the applicant infringing upon Terms of Service during the process of the act, Tania is not responsible for any genital injury that the applicant may suffer
- Tania may deny service for hygiene reasons
Now that’s some crazy shit; are there more girls like this out there? I heard on a forum that this girl used to offer blowjobs for votes for her to get into Senate.

3D Logic 2 - Week 17
Well 3d Logic was a big hit, and I was as proud as punch when I finished that - unfortunately I haven’t, as yet, been able to make my way through 3d Logic 2.
What’s it about?
For some reason the creator of 3D Logic (Alex Matveev) has decided to make a story for the sequel. To be quite honest with you I didn’t read any of so I can’t fill you in on it but, ultimately, who wants a story based around a puzzle game like this?
The basic idea of the game is to connect coloured squares. The “game board” is spread across 3 sides of a 5×5 cube. All you have to do is select a colour and try to make a line from one block to the next block of the same colour. The difficulty comes in situations where it doesn’t seem possible to link up matching squares without crossing other lines - this rendering them incomplete.
Although I haven’t finished 3d Logic 2 it does seem a bit harder than it’s predecessor; that doesn’t mean it’s not worth a shot though, right?

2D Portal - Week 16
This is a fairly old game but I only finished it this week and, since I had so much fun with it, I thought I should share it with you guys in case anyone had missed it.
What’s it about?
Basically it’s a simplified, 2D remake of Valve’s game; Portal. (Wiki entry for Portal.)
Before the game starts you get a message telling you it’s time for your physical test. You’ve been given the ASHPD (Aperture Science Handheld Portal Device) and now have to prove that you’re adequate for the job at hand.
Once you have control of your character you have to use the ASHPD to shoot portals around the environment to make your way through each of the 40 rooms. To make things more challenging in each room there are combinations of doors that you need to open, turrets you need to avoid, buttons you need to press and energy balls that need to be manipulated.
Proof of Completion - Deceptive Dessert Badge
April 7, 2008 – 9:32 pm
Before I head off to bed I thought I would point out everyone should sign up to Kongregate. I’ve been playing games on Kongregate for a few days now and, having signed up the other day, I’ve now got a gamer score and was, today, one of the only people to finish 3D Logic.
In addition to having score boards for all the games on the site they also have an active chat which sits next to the games, they also have, as I mentioned, a gamer score for the people that sign up and, perhaps most importantly, they have achievements! I’m not sure if you need an account to see it, but check out my Kongregate Profile.
Additionally, I still haven’t finished Untangled - I’ve been playing, as I said above, 3D Logic - which I finished today. I strongly urge you to check out this game. The premise is fairly simple: connect the colours to each other around 3 sides of a cube. Obviously, in practice, things a little more difficult but you should give it a crack.
The first time around I got to level 16 with out any problems. At 16 I probably spent around 40 minutes scratching my head trying different techniques. When I finally realised the solution I couldn’t believe that I hadn’t seen it earlier. From there the rest were easy until I hit level 23. Wow, and I thought 16 was hard.
All in all it took me 2 days of playing on and off to finally beat this game, but it’s worth the time. I can be a little bit of a ‘completionist’ sometimes, and this was the perfect challenge for me.
April 3, 2008 – 1:00 pm
I was determined not to link to this game today but it’s annoyed me so much that I have to share the addictive pain with someone else.
Play Untangled.
The aim of the game is, as you may have guessed, to untangle the wires. The first few levels are fairly simple but the difficulty increases pretty swiftly. Unfortunately I started playing this on my lunch break but, by the time the break was over, I was so addicted I played for another half an hour - looks like someone might be staying back at work today.
EDIT - 3rd April, 2008
I still haven’t finished this fucking game. I’ve started playing it at home but I had to start again, so I’m only up to level 15 - whereas at work I was up to level 18. I’ll let you guys know when I finish it, it’s driving me batty. I guess I haven’t spent much time playing it, so I’m sure if I sat down with the goal of completion in my mind I could get through, it’s just hanging over my head!
