Who doesn’t want to get rich? Is there a “get rich quick” scheme online? No, basically. But one of your best chances is the National Lottery. Now, why is this fun for friday? Purely and simply because of their online games.  by Alex Doust
Okay, so you have a dull email to send at work, why not make it come alive with this little tool? Live Typing. Simply just a text box, all you do is type your message and it records your typing process, and then formats it into a GIF image! Look at that! You can see all the spelling errors you make when you type!  by Alex Doust
Everyone ages, but do you ever look at yourself in the mirror and think, what will I look like in 20 or 30 years? Of course you do, well wouldn’t it be nice if you could actually see what you’ll look like in 20 or 30 years? God no! It’d be awful, chances are you’ll age horribly (if the facial images of this site are anything to go by).  by Alex Doust
Most of us are familiar with the sandbox game that is Minecraft, it’s taken the world by storm. The purpose of the game is simple, build stuff. And make sure you have shelter at night because that’s when the monsters come out! Fun game as it is, whether you’re building a place to live and grow or building a scale replica of Denmark using one terabyte worth of blocks (which incidentally happened last week and this week before falling victim to cunning hackers with TNT…), wouldn’t it be good if you could make things a little more fun?

Okay I’ll spare no time in admitting that I am incredibly late seeing The Walking Dead Season 3 finale. But since I watched it, and I thought it was epic! I thought what better way to celebrate than to give you all some zombie killing action, to help pass the time until work is over. Introducing Boxhead! The online game provided by Sean Cooper and Crazy Monkey Games, where the rules are simple! Kill, or be killed. You’re placed in an arena, you have weapons, you have barricades (depending on the game) and you’re sometimes a James Bond lookalike.  By Alex Doust
Like them or not, well…there is no not. Everyone likes them, you can approach them with as much scepticism or pessimism as you like, but when you see them, you literally explode with laughter. So what is a meme? A meme is an image, usually with text and the intention is to make you laugh! Now, I’m not going to rationalize the humour anymore, so be quiet and enjoy my favourite 10 memes, in no particular order!  By Alex Doust
Like many other readers and nineties children I grew up through the craze of Pokémon. There are classic games, and then there are games which are actually worth shelling out cash on a new console just to be able to play. Pokémon was an instant hit, a true classic and for me that all started with Pokémon Blue.  By Alex Doust
The Central focus this week has been all Doctor Who, I’m looking forward to it as much as anyone, but we mustn’t forget there are other programs which must not be missed! One of them, The Walking Dead finishes its third series this weekend (US only). I thought it best to make this a Fun Friday to keep you going until tonight’s Penultimate episode (UK – FX Channel).

Why is it, do you think, that when we’re bored we always migrate to Google? We have nothing to search for, but we foolishly go to Google hoping that Google will help us. It never does. So what if we could do something else to Google, what if we could attack Google? To Shoot it, scribble on it, watch it go mouldy or drop bombs on it?  By Alex Doust
Well the title wasn’t made to impress, but the game certainly will… Firstly you might have noticed there was no Fun Friday last week, apologies, I was too enthralled in this game. So, what is Falling Sand? Falling Sand is a little Java powered game, which is possibly the most addictive game you will ever play. The idea is simple; you’ve got a blank canvas and tools to mess about with! You have Walls, Cera (Wax), Plant, Water, Oil, Fire, Spout (Rains Water!) Sand, Salt and the dreaded ‘???’ |
