Hello all,
Not sure if any of u have a ps3, but if you do, u must get this game:
Supersonic Acrobatic Rocket Powered Battle Cars , or SARPBC for short. It’s a football type game in an arena using cars which are very easy to drive/boost/fly with rocket power! It is so addictive online. I got it at the start of last year, and i’m still playing it every other night online.
Check out this youtube video of some random guys playing to get an idea. *note* these guys are very good, it takes time to get this skilled!
Also, add me to ur psn, my username is mattbee, i think. Anyone else got game recommendations? PixelJunk Shooter on psn was quite fun, if a little short.

Werd homez.
Here is a Perl script that will extract dependency information from all the C++ source and header files it finds within a specified directory structure, and spit out a bunch of interesting stuffs it can find out about them. It would be fairly trivial to convert to parsing Java or something, essentially just change “.cpp” to “.java” and “#include” to “import” or whatever it is.
EDIT: Version 1.1 released. Changes since 1.0:
- Better documentation;
- More command line options;
- Option to generate a PNG image of the dependency graph (uses GraphViz; example below).

Spotted this on BBC News today:
Drug smugglers appear to have made a major slip-up, after huge quantities of cocaine were delivered to supermarkets in Spain hidden in boxes of bananas.
…
Reports suggest an error by drug smugglers had led to their failing to retrieve almost 80kg (175lb) of cocaine from the boxes before they were distributed.
Epic failure if ever I saw one.
Full story here.

For a nice live rendition of Green Onions and some other good numbers for that matter, check out Booker T on iPlayer for the next couple of days or so. Woo, feels weird posting on here after so long…

It’s been a while, but I finally got around to:
- Updating Wordpress
- Updating the theme
- Making pretty URLs work
- Going through the comment moderation queue
So, any news…?

Simon Munnery is your compère for BBC Radio Scotland’s coverage of the Glasgow Comedy Festival, available on iplayer here until Saturday 28 March.
Also my favourite comedian, Stewart Lee, of Fist of Fun and This Morning With Richard Not Judy fame (and he directed and co-wrote Simon Munnery’s Attention Scum and Richard Thomas’ Jerry Springer The Opera) has a new stand-up show, Stewart Lee’s Comedy Vehicle, on Monday nights on BBC2, or on iplayer. Occasionally featuring Simon Munnery too, and “the actor” Kevin Eldon, Paul Putner, Tony Law and Peter Serafinowicz. Executive-produced by Armando Iannucci and script-edited by Chris Morris. Find all his previous stand-up on YouTube.
What comedy have other people been enjoying? (cartoons don’t count, otherwise we’d be here all year listing them)
(However the 13th series of South Park is now airing and has been awesome so far; get torrents from mrtwig.net.

OK, so it’s well past normal people’s bedtime and I’m still up (what can I say, work is hectic).
So, I shall share the song I am listening to as I write this post:
The Pixies – Where is my Mind (play the video for none sucky version)
I now command you all (yes, you…) to share the track you are listening to as you read this post. (preferrably with last.fm links).
Do it… now!. Why, because Mentok wills it so!
If for some (rediculous, I imagine) reason you are not listening to music right now you may pick your most recently listened to track. But may a horrible curse be upon all those who break the initial commandment of “the track you are listening to as you read this post“. Oh yes, if you break the aforementioned commandment you will be struck down like the heathen you know inside that you truly are.

Dead Space,
MotorStorm pacific rift,
Little big planet,
Far Cry 2,
Fallout 3,
Resistance 2,
COD5.
Stalker Clear Sky (already out!)
As for XBox360, something titled “Gears of war 2″, whatever that is.
Lets hope they dont all suck as much as Spore did.

Funniest thing I have seen all day. I wonder how many got a nice close up view of the sun.
