Just don’t OK? Ryota Dances. Five years old and that good at Dance Dance Revolution? No please…. Jack Skates. Nope, there’s no way this is a 3 year old skateboarder. Nope, not possible.

Monday fun videos – and why not….?

It’s Monday, so how’s about a couple of fun videos to while away the lunch hour or whatever? First up a funski video ad from the Triumph motorbike people which I picked up from Joel on BoingBoing. How a Triumph Motorycle is Not Actually Made. Second, a great machinima movie called Ignis Solus based around the new Team Fortress 2 game from Valve. It’s fun (although some bits may be a little strong for tiny tummies!) Tags: video, triumph+rocket, team+fortress+2

Power Football – online multiplayer soccer market grows

Power Football. Isn’t that typical? You wait around all day for an online multiplayer soccer game and then a bunch of them arrive at the same time. Tsk. Anyway, this one has a different playscape than United Soccer, where everyone controls just one player each. In Power Football you run/play a whole team against other player teams from around the world. The two games offer completely different playing dynamics, and to be honest I can’t really say if one is better than…
