I had been really proud of myself for curing a lifelong addiction to video games. My XBox and PS2 have been gathering dust, absolutely unused for months. I have even managed to feign disinterest about GTA San Andreas. However that all changed yesterday. I noticed a queue of Japanese kids trailing from a scuzzy arcade. Being naturally curious about the ways of hipster japan, I joined the queue and discovered a new form of computer crack. I suggest you have nothing to do with this frightening expensive addictive habit, but for those looking to acquire another vice here is my guide to Derby Owners Club:

  • Derby Owners Club is a giant multiplayer arcade racing sim. It requires you to mate a sire and a dam, then nuture the resulting foal to be a track champion. The combination of Tamagotchi like elements, with competitive horseracing, has led to passionate involvement for many obsessive players. It's an extremely expensive hobby. Not only does it cost at least £20 per horse raised and trained, but there's a burgeoning eBay black market in the tradable memory cards that carry a horse's data. Most valuable of all are rare mutant horses. Once a horse becomes a champ, he or she must retire and be bred to produce even better foals. The ability to breed through many generations has led to the creation of virtual stables offering exquisite pairs of horses for stud.

  • Text Messaging Olympics.

  • Bill Gates' Blog or is that a Microsoft Digital Diary?

  • Stereoscopic sushi.

  • Unbeknownst to me there have been two new Yeti Sports games since I last linked to them. Both awesome.

  • beastieboys.com has had a big update, lots of new content, including Beastie Boys Frogger: guide your 'Boy across the highway to a political rally, avoiding Cheney and Bush driving deadly tanks.

  • Totally NSFW scatalogical homoerotic video of some guy swallowing forty feet of dental floss, then flossing his entire GI tract. Not really recommended, especially not before meals.

  • HateBeak MP3.

  • Zlad! was Molvania's Eurovision entry this year. Unfortunately he was arrested on drugs charges by turkish customs officials before he got a chance to perform his amazing hit Elektronik Supersonik. Fortunately for you though the music video and MP3 are still available for download. Incredible! Must listen! Download now!
