Corporations, POWER TO THE PEOPLE! (The wacky, scary people.)
The
web should not be about rich pig-dogs and IPOs and "leveraging"
and all that soulless clap-trap. It is, and should be, a sprawling
map of the odd bends of human consciousness, from the ridiculous
to the very sublime-all exchanged freely. We've tried to compile
a bunch of stuff from either category (and those that overlap into
both) as a sampler "pu pu platter" of web-fun from other
sites. Submit a site for
entry! |

MARIO
TWINS MOVIE
If the late 80s found you with a boxy grey video
game controller in your sweaty fist, screaming obscenties at Lakitu,
the Spiny-Beast-tossing Cloud Guy, and if you STILL know where the
hidden coin blocks are, after all these years, this strange, strange,
strange flash movie will be as hilarious and delightful as it is baffling.

IN
THE "DEAR GOD, WHY?!?" DEPT.
If not for the glorious internet, the world could
never have seen one man's testament to the phrase "too much spare
time" that is THE ASCII ANIMATED STAR WARS. Go, and feel better
about yourself as a human being for NOT having created this.

SHITBALL.COM
Yep. Some guy plunked down ducats to register this
name with INTERNIC. And why? For financial gain? NO. For ART.
Someone put a whole bunch of time, effort and energy into this site.
Sure, DOODIE.COM gets all the attention, but this site has got heart.
Visit it, won't you?

KINDA
LENDS NEW MEANING TO "RAM-MAN"...
Remember the old 80s cartoon HE-MAN, and the MASTERS
OF THE UNIVERSE? I recall it fondly. Although, not quite as fondly
as the people behind this naughty link. Apparenltly, they are SO taken
by the characters of the cartoon that they saw fit to write fan-fiction
about it.
EROTIC Fan-fiction. More like MASTURBATORS OF THE UNIVERSE. Click
at your own peril.

YOUR OWN JAPANESE MONSTER FLICK!
Courtesy of the booze-smiths behind Absolut Vodka.
The most bizzare, innovative, and amazing use of shockwave I think
I've see yet. You could be like Woody Allen in WHAT'S UP TIGERLILLY,
without all the Woody Allen baggage. Even allows you to type DIALOGUE
that gets converted into sound!! Amazing. Not sure what it has to
do with selling vodka, but what the hey; it's cool as all get out.

A
SMALL SERVING OF HATE
Hatebot.com boasts a sparse interface. stunning
in it's simplicity. In THEY LIVE-style letters, it confronts the user
with random bits of abuse upon every click of the "refresh button."

ITS
COOL TO BE A GEEK
If you are an "old skool" computer user,
you'll remember the keen "Text only" games like ZORK, ADVENTURE,
and the uber-hard HITCHHIKER'S GUIDE TO THE GALAXY. Well, a bunch
of super-cool guys in England have developed a "developer kit"
to create your OWN text adventures. (Go South. Take All.) AND IT'S
FREE!!!!
Through a GUI and pull-downs, you can be the hit of your office, making
a "Quest fot the Watercooler" game.

DARK
TOWER PAGE!!
Children of the 80s may remember the absolute Holy
Grail of Cool Board Games... Dark Tower. Never before or since has
there been a game of such unmitigated wonder and joy. I am the Luckiest
Man in the World™, and have an amazing wife who supports my geek
habit; OUT OF THE BLUE she bought me a complete working box-set from
E-BAY, after a discussion of beloved childhood toys. But for those
not so lucky, (i.e. ALL OF YOU! Nyeeah!), the next best thing is this
extensive "tribute" page to the game that filled me with
such wonder as a wee lad.
