There’re quite a few cool things I’d like to share with you:

Bloons Tower Defense 3:

There’s the first game, the second game, all within the genre of building static towers hurling projectiles to stop enemies from breaching the goal at the very end. Except that it’s less brutal when you’re popping ballons instead of rupturing some poor monster’s gut.

Now, the third game has just landed on Ninjakiwi, and I’ve already spent half a day popping ballons on 8 different maps — that’s the power of Flash games, my friend. You get curious right when you’re taking a break from working, and the next moment, you’re spending the rest of your productive time trying to beat the frustrating ballons on Hard.

Swings:

Now, most of us whom were born in the 80s and early 90s had a pretty good idea about what a swing was. You sat on the black rubber seat held together by only two long steel chains, and wriggled your body as you swung to-and-fro between kicking curious kids who came too close to your front, and farting at whomever’s pushing you at the rear. It was good clean fun until somebody got hurt, which was a rare occurence, of course.

You get bonus points if your swing chains were semi-rusted, and the support beams quivered dangerously whenever your neighbourhood elephant swung on it. Kudos to your bravery if you went near it at night when it sways purposefully with an eerie creak sound as it swings back and forth with nobody sitting on it.

That aside, I’ve always been curious to know if it is possible to swing an entire round around the crash bar. I never dared to push that hard, because I always got the feeling that I would slip off the seat and crash into the sand pit. Now, somebody has gone and done it.

Not totally awesome stuff, because he did it with two metal rods, instead of the metal chains like we have in Singapore. Nonetheless, it would have been physically impossible for any person to do the flip on a metal-chained swing without external assistance. You would need too much centralfugal force to do that!

YouTube Audio Commenting

It isn’t really something awesome in itself; but rather, the story behind it (or the coincidences) make it newsworthy. Read this Internet comic:

Now read this.

YouTube actually implemented it!
