Video Game Videos

To enjoy some expert arcade playing, you can search YouTube for [computer system speed run]. For example, searching for amiga speed run (or speedrun/ fast run) retrieves videos from Marble Madness, Leisure Suit Larry in the Land of the Lounge Lizard, Zak McKracken, or Great Gianna Sisters. Even if you played these games before you might discover new levels...

Also see the “best of Amiga” videos part I [WMV] and part II [WMV].

Haiku News

Google developer Kevin Fox released a new site that presents news in haiku form – daily. Here’s the one from yesterday:

envy drives attack on peer

(An idea for a different challenge: present daily news in bar joke format.)

[Thanks Kevin!]
