See, I told you I wouldn’t let you down. And for your further review, Japanese arcade games part two.
Best Game for People Who’s Parents/Landlord Won’t Allow Pets: Dog Walker
In this game the point is to walk dogs. All sorts of dogs. You actually have a pretty good selection in some of these games, where you have some nice doggies to walk and then you have the pit bull. The game is basically a tread mill that you walk on while holding onto a leash. The antics begin as the dog goes to chase cats, cars, stops to pee, gets into fights with other dogs. Um, actually I don’t know about that because I have only ever seen this game, never played it. But I think that would make it more fun.
My Personal Favorite: Samba De Amigo
Samba is fun. You get your Maracas (which are surprisingly heavy) and you dance. The point is to hit certain heights with the maracas in time to samba style dance music. It’s simple but gets pretty challenging and it’s fun. As long as you like dancing with maracas and samba music. I think I must have spent like ten dollars playing this game when I was in Japan.

The Japanese have brought us many exciting and original experiences from environmentally friendly roller coasters to the current manga/anime phenomenon and everything between. I just thought I would put up some interesting arcade games that I have seen in my day and a few I found on the internet.
Strangest Arcade Game: IdolMaster
This is a weird one. I actually have never seen this one before but after reading about it I definitely give this one the winner of the strangest Japanese arcade game. This game console surrounds you for the full stereo effect. You get a comfy seat to sit your buns on for the hours you will sit enticed to spend just 100 more yen. So, what is the premise of this game? What do you do?
You manage a pop idol. You change her clothes. You give her dance moves. You pick her music. And you pay a lot of real money to do so. Here is a very detailed description of this game from several first hand encounters.
Coolest Arcade Game Setup: Silent Hill
The Silent Hill franchise is a recognizable name so I don’t think I need to describe play by play what kind of game this is or what you should expect from this. For a horror video game this set up is awesome. A nice creepy ambiance to shoot up some weirdo nurse freaks, body bags and the occasional pyramid head. Especially if the arcade was slightly ill lit in the first place and it was pretty abandoned? This could be a major creep out fest. I really want to play Silent Hill on this. (more…)
I really am not sure what I did to get so lucky to constantly be getting money offers constantly thrown at me. I really don’t know. As you may have read previously I won the Spanish International Lottery (and if you haven’t you should click here and read it because what else do you really have to do right now anyway?), the British Lottery and received a Nigerian Inheritance. Well now somehow I got tied up in a weird business relationship with a very ambiguous Mr. John I. Brown and some other shady characters. These emails do kill me they are so funny. Here, check it out for yourself:

DEAR CONTRACTOR/BENEFICARY
AFTER A SERIOUS THOUGHT, I DECIDED TO REACH YOU DIRECTLY AND PERSONALLY BECAUSE I DO NOT HAVE ANYTHING AGAINST YOU, BUT YOUR PARTNERS.
I AM THE DIRECTOR OF WIRE TRANSFER/TELEX DEPARTMENT AND SOME TIME IN THE PAST YOUR PARTNERS APPROACHED ME THROUGH A FRIEND OF MINE WHO WORKS WITH ONE OF THE MINISTRIES HERE AND REQUESTED THAT I ASSIST THEM CONCLUDE A MONEY TRANSFER DEAL AND WE ALL AGREED.
ACCORDING TO THEM, THEY WANTED TO USE THIS STRATEGY TOTRANSFER A HUGE AMOUNT OF US DOLLARS WHICH THEY ACCUMULATED THROUGH INFLATED CONTRACT AWARDS AND THE MONEY HAS BEEN FLOATING SINCE THEN AND THE ORIGINAL CONTRACTORS/BENEFICARY’S HAS BEEN FULLY PAID, SO THEY WANTED TO USE YOUR ACCOUNT TO TRANSFER THE SURPLUS OUT OF THE COUNTRY. WE AGREED THAT ONCE I DO THIS, THEY WOULD GIVE ME 20% OF THE FUND AND GIVE ME ANOTHER 15% WHEN I RELEASED THE FUND TO YOUR ACCOUNT. WHEN THEY SAW THAT I HAVE DONE THAT AND YOUR NAME HAS BEEN APPROVED AMONG THE LIST OF THOSE TO BE PAID, INSTEAD OF GIVING ME THE AGREED 35% THEY STARTED AVOIDING ME AND RESORTED TO THREATS. (more…)

Here is my latest podcast on the greatest superbowl ever. The game was alright but Tom Petty roxxx!!!! (Just kidding Tom Petty is incapable of rocking otherwise his frail bones would turn to dust).
Listen here
P.S. According to this article British women say men with the name Dave are the most well endowed. Now if only this trend would carry over to the States much like the Office.
Toxins. They are all around you, in the air, in your food, in your drinking water. So how are you going to get rid of them?
One way would be to realize that “toxins” is so broad a term as to be useless and that in order to avoid exposure to specific health risks like mercury you need to do some research, analyze costs and benefits of approaches, and participate in a modern society with environmental, health, and food inspection.
But that’s too hard. So instead, turn off your brain and watch this commercial:
So let’s check off all the reasons why this smells scammy. Have you ever had any of the following symptoms:
These symptoms could mean that you are filled with toxins! or more likely, that you are a human being, since everyone has a headache once in a while. In any event, products that claim to cure everything usually cure nothing.
The pads “work” by sticking to your feet at night and removing everything bad from your body. Everything bad includes:
Yes, it turns out that cobalt, chiggers and chubbiness all follow the same metabolic processes. This is point number two - claiming to work in several, completely unrelated ways.
Point number three is easy. Too easy. Isn’t it a bit suspicious that it does so much without any effort, pain, or discomfort on your part?
How was such an amazing products discovered? Through the amazing, ancient art of oriental reflexology. And acupuncture, or something and nature. Did they mention homeopathy? They should. Misusing a lot of scientific-sounding or hippie nature-sounding terms is point four.
So what did I miss? What other ways does this seem ridiculous to you?
