Gamespot Editor Gives X360 a Proper Funeral

That title is just too damned creepy. OK, I’ve heard about having a passion for gaming but this is just one of those things which drags that passion over the line into psychosis.

Master Chief gave his goodbyes and pulled himself together. As they were about to leave, they were surprised with an unexpected guest. It was Xbox 360’s biological father, Xbox.

The Ultimate Speed Bump

While this can hardly be considered a “bump”, this certainly takes the cake  for anything even remotely related in the interest of slowing the motorist down. Just check out this photo:

Now you’d think something crazy like that could only be found in China, well that’s a partial truth because here in Australia (especially Whittlesea before their new thing was replacing round abouts with traffic lights) we have to deal with similar obstacles (though with a lot less risk because they’re not as tall). Why you may ask? Possibly to prevent incidents like this from happening:

How’s this for a house pet? (Jungle Cat)

Oh dear, having thought I’d seen everything and posted about it all here on DARKCOLD something comes along which is so out there it threw me off guard. Presenting the worst idea for a house pet ever, some kind of jungle cat!

Just check out those teeth. That’s a visit to the emergency room visit waiting to happen. I’ve mirrored all the pics in case something happens to the original site, hit “continue reading” to do what the button you’re hitting suggests.

Keyboard for Blondes

Presenting the KEYBOARD for blondes bimbos (because to say this is for blondes is offensive, they’re known to be intelligent, y’know). It’s basically a normal keyboard painted pink with pink keys and pink LEDs (I think), but the bimbo part comes with the keys which have changed. There’s the usual QWERTY alphabet, but some keys have been renamed to reflect their purpose for the kind of person who may use it.

Alt becomes “Another Useless Key”, Control “Totally Useless Key”, backspace “Oops!” and the Windows Key a girly flower. There I was thinking the pink keyboard/mouse with rhinestones combo was offensive. Clicky to check it out and possibly buy it.

Victorian Police get a new Vehicle

For those of you who didn’t hear, the local boys and girls in blue have a new car to hoon around in. Loaned from Holden, the new fleet consits entirely of the fuel wasting Hummer H3. Have times become so bad that the Police need a vehicle which has relations to the deadly High Mobility Multipurpose Wheeled Vehicle (HUMVEE, which the original Hummer H1 is based upon)? Just to remind everybody, here’s a picture of the Hummer H1:

Terrifying. Want to see what our Police are going to be driving around in, striking fear into those who dare to defy the law?

It’s definately… interesting? OK, I’ll admit it’s a bit of a disappointment after hearing the police will be driving Hummers, but it’s to raise awareness of police presense which it’ll easily do. You can read a bit more over at The Age, or hit “continue reading” below to see more images.

Fifty Strange Buildings of the World

Village of Joy has put together a great list feauturing fifty strange building from across the planet. The one below (Nakagin Capsule Tower) reminds me of some of the buildings that appeared later in the awesome classic game “Transport Tycoon”:

D’oh the website broke. You can try the link here, but it says their bandwidth quota has been exceeded. Might possibly work next month?
