UTH II

Greetings all ye bloggers! It's that time again!

It's under the hat, with you host, Gregoid.

as always I have several things to talk about. We have one cool web site, and one peice of neat software, this time around.

This week's webby is www.woot.com ; a very unique little website that sells one weird item a day. Yup, just one (unless it is a woot-off, but that's a whole 'nother ball game.) But buying these weird, and "unique" items isn't the fun part, it's reading the spin they put on each product. With quirky humor (though, it can get a touch crude sometimes) and just plain weird "podcasts" (Streamed audio, kinda like an online radio station.) it's almost certain you will get a good laugh when you drop by. The podcast is on the right, just below the picture of today's item. Check it out!

Neat Software! Neat software!

Ok, ok, I here ya. I got somethin' for all you platformer-lovers out there. It's called Eternal Daughter. A neat little bit of freeware, very similar to the old Nintendo classics (right down to the low-bitrate music and sadistic difficulty), this little labor-of-love is highly addictive and will surely cause countless hours to be lost that could have been better put to use :) . The story surrounds a young girl, Mia, whose people have been put in slavery by a race of greedy, quasy-robotic beings. As the story kicks off Mia finds that she has some very mysterious powers that she cannot explan (though that doesn't stop her from using them to fight the oppressors of her people.). The little gem isn't TOO large (though 9.4 megs can seem like it takes forever to download at times) and the time invested in watching the little blue bar crawl across the screen is well worth it. Another thing of note is that you never have to install this game! It runs direct from the .exe, which opens up some interesting possibilities, such as running the game off a flash drive on any computer you come across.

And as for what been cookin' in my cranium, the answer would have to be not much. Atleast not much of anything that is worth discussing. So it'll probably have to wait till next post :P

Anyway that's it for now, Have a good'n everybody!
