I was reading in the newspaper articles that the Dark Knight action figure is

too scary for kids

so Mattel has stopped manufacturing them and they will become a valuable collectable item due to the short run.

"Instead Mattel have "hastily thrown together" a "friendlier" version they can sell to children."

Reminds me of Bart Simpson when Homer made him a clown bed.  "Can’t sleep! Clown will eat me!".

Check out this game. It was created totally in GameMaker.  It has brilliant animations, some really cool humour, lovely sound effects, animated cut scenes.. THE WORKS!

Here’s a screenshot I borrowed from the website:

This is the velociraptor you move around in the game. He can: walk, run, jump, backflip, climb walls, duck, crawl, swim, bite, tailwhip, pounce, ground-slam and carry objects.

The animation is very smooth and very well done. It has some particle effects and even water splashes up and animates ripples on the surface if he walks in it.

You can download a demo version from the Sixty Five Million and One BC website and then pay US$20 for the full game and play all 35 large levels!

I noticed some people on the internet (such as I) wanted a copy of the new theme music from the Futurama movie “Bender’s Big Score”, so I’ve sampled it and made it into an AAC file.  Why AAC? Cos it beats the heck out of MP3 for quality and size and nicely works on my Sony Ericsson K800i mobile phone as a Ringtone and in iTunes natively.

So, here it is. Download now: Bender’s Big Score theme in AAC.

So, we have “2 cute 4 u”, “Beautiful Mind & Beautiful Body”. “Luv Me!”, “NSFU - Not Safe For You!”, “The Binary Clock” and “<blink>Schrodinger’s cat</blink>”.

Last night I dropped Sienna home and headed to The Tivoli.  It’s a club in Fortitude Valley.

The supporting band was Tycho Brahe. They really rocked the place with some really cool songs. A couple I hadn’t heard before.  I took some photos with my K800i. I will upload them to my Flickr account later.

After that the main act came on, John Foxx who created the band Ultravox.  He started off at 8:30pm with an artistic show he created.  He had a lot of film snips from people around the world and had written pieces of esoteric experimental music.  It was okay at the start but by 9:10pm it seemed more like the Blair Witch Project to Electronic music.  I headed off home. I’d already had a really big day with Sienna and our cousins at the beach so was exhausted.  I got home and went to bed and fell asleep almost straight away.

I got an SMS this morning which Mil sent about 10:30pm last night saying I left too soon and John was really rocking the joint.  Ah well.  I was mostly there to see Tycho Brahe anyway

This morning I woke at 7:15am when someone in the apartment block was knocking on a door nearby.  I had a shower and went to the local IGN store which is about the only shop open today. I picked up some milk and eggs to make breakfast.  Currently I’m just watching some crappy episodes of The Family Guy season six.
