That's How It Happened

If only every time I went clubbing there were giant comedy dancing chickens... The Asylum has a new tasteless backdrop. Instead of a Waimea sunset, there's now a pre-9/11 NYC skyline. Mr Nixta and I have planned our own tasteless 9/11 tribute trinket. It combines novelty cigarette lighter, with one of those wooden toys made from beads strung on elastic, that then collapses when you press the base in. In our version, pressing in the base would cause a tiny plane to fly into a mini WTC, then the butane flame would appear from the side of the tower, followed by the collapsing part.

If that's too tasteful for you, try The Passion Of The Christ in Lego. I have no stomach for that movie. One of my colleagues took his girlfriend on a date to see it. He reported it was so harrowing they went home and watched Schindler's List to cheer themselves up.

I am just adoring this Japanese Shooting Game. It combines exactly Elite with the original Virtua Cop. The instructions are self-explanatory, click to shoot, space to reload. Makes Splinter Cell 2 look stupid and gloomy.
