a4uexpo Bavarian Beer and Sausage on stand 50

October 17th, 2011

Thinking of popping down for one the days.

But the real reason for this post is to see how quickly this ranks.

Reminds me of the nigritude ultramarine comp from way back in the day.

I wonder what sort of simple spamming techniques can make a difference.

Some I would try are a4uexpo Bavarian Beer and Sausage on stand 50 and a4uexpo Bavarian Beer and Sausage on stand 50.

That looks dodgy, but hey ho. I would probably consider linking out to a4uexpo Bavarian Beer and Sausage on stand 50 , but not to one of the the muppets, like David Naylor.

I would be concerned about too much anchor text being bang on, but I am sure I can get over that.

So this is with no external links, only 12K competitors, but a few of those are heavy contendors for age equity and all that.

Right, back to wotk for me.

Mani Golf iPhone Review

October 20th, 2010

I don’t post much but I thought I would write a little review for an iPhone game I bought recently.

If you’re a Physics Game Fan, a genre of game that’s proving hugely popular to the Casual gaming market on App Store, then there’s another game to add to the collection, Sogoplay’s Mani Golf. Featuring 36 weirdly original holes spread over two wackily themed courses, touch controls, beautiful graphics, retina support, as well as a comical Main Character, and an enjoyably challenging difficulty curve that will keep you coming back for more. Mani Golf ranks highly amongst the Physics favourites on App Store.

The unique thing about Mani Golf was always that it wasn’t a faithful Golf Game, more a fantastically addictive 2d platform game with a Golf theme. To take your shot, you now have touch screen pull back, to choose your power and direction, and it comes very naturally. You can also make use of your accelerometer, by tilting the phone to adjust the shot in the air or roll it along the ground, which is a fantastic feature, as there’s many a gamer who tilts their controller/phone whilst playing, the beauty here is, it works!

Once you’ve picked your way through the courses, Mani Golf keeps you coming back for more, with the hole achievements, it becomes hard to resist replaying to achieve an Albatross on every hole, and with the implementation of Game Center Leaderboards and Achievements, there’s further incentive to shave yet more shots and time off your score.

The Main Character Gaylord Mulligan, a hapless Terry Thomas type Cad, endlessly witters his way through the game, several of his catchphrases genuinely achieved a couple of laugh out loud moments. However if you grow sick of Gaylord, and well you might, you have the option of turning him off, but keeping the music on. The Developer has also announced that in the Next update, there will be a ‘Gag Gaylord’ option, thank god.
All in all, This is a Fantastic Game!

Enjoyable, Challenging, Funny, its got the lot, if you like Angry Birds, you’ll love this.

Election Tip: Never Queue Again

If like me you hate queues and have zero patience and you want to avoid standing around like a muppet as the local council have not employed enough people then register for a postal vote.

You don’t actually have to post it, but it does allow you to walk to the front of the queue and not register :-)

When Menus Go Bad

February 13th, 2009

I was eating out in Enfield, or somewhere near there and found the most unusual constituent of a recipe.

I had to steal it to show it online. Please remember this is an actual menu in an English speaking country.

Check it out (HINT look at the Capesanti)

Your Strangest Referral String

July 24th, 2008

OK, we all check our logs, but just out of interest and for a laugh what is your strangest actual referral string in recent times.

Found one in passing today that got me thinking:

When did birdseye change the name of chicken nuggets to dippers?

At the time of writing, this was a #2 spot.

So go on, if you can be bothered tell me your weirdest referrals.

cheers

A good friend of mine is a mobile phone and flash game developer. He showed me his latest one and I said I would post a link to it especially since it amused me so (sad like that I am). It has some rather amusing sound effects.

Go on, kill five minutes…..
