Transformers: The Wrath of Ben “Yahtzee” Croshaw

Comedy | Gaming | Insanity | penge @ 07:45, August 31st, 2010.

Below is a link to Zero Punctuation’s review of the game ‘Transformers: War for Cybertron’. Yes, it even sounds crap.
If you love Transformers or if you couldn’t give a toss about them, I insist you watch the review. It’s funny. You’ll laugh. The world will be a better place.
Commence watchage.

Wobbly.

The clip below is a trailer for a game called Queen’s Blade: Spiral Chaos. I have no real idea what’s going on in the game or how it works, as it’s all in crazy Japanese, but I think there’s a theme running through the trailer. I just can’t quite identify exactly what the theme is. Take [...]

Breaking News of the Fruit Based Persuasion

Current Affairs | Insanity | Science / Technology | penge @ 20:14, July 20th, 2010.

We interrupt your regular programming to bring you this breaking news story, live from the Randomlinkage newsroom.
Mega Super Ultra Corporation Apple, famed for making the iPod, the iPhone and the iPad, all of which are manufactured from inexplicably extortionate iWhitePlastic, have just announced that they have successfully trademarked and copyrighted and patented any and all [...]

T-Shirt suicide

Insanity | Linkage | penge @ 16:29, July 4th, 2010.

T-shirts with cunning slogans or amusing pictures on them are a common sight these days but whoever invented this t-shirt design here is obviously catering for the niche “I want to die but don’t want to commit suicide so I’ll let some other people do it for me” market.
A shame really, because the little fella [...]

Skydiving Soundtrack

Bodily Harm | Insanity | Money | penge @ 09:00, May 15th, 2010.

It’s not long now until deranged maniac The Finnhed, Randomlinkage commentor and all round mental, jumps out of a plane for charity. Genuinely, I don’t think I could actually do it. I wouldn’t even be able to go up in the plane if I knew that I had to jump out of it, my brain [...]

To the skies!

Insanity | Observations of Life | penge @ 20:36, May 13th, 2010.

Recently, myself and The Feisty Kim were outdoors, out in the open world, walking towards our car. All was well, everything was fine, but then I heard a noise, a sort of low, bassy, rumbling sort of noise. As we walked it got a bit louder and my eyes were soon drawn upwards, upwards to [...]

Do Do do-do-do-do!

Insanity | penge @ 19:20, May 8th, 2010.

I woke up today singing the theme tune to the mid 1980’s hit cartoon series Alvin the the Chipmunks. I don’t know why.
I haven’t been able to get it out of my head all day.
Please, someone, help me.
My only solace is that if you know the tune to Alvin and the Chipmunks, or if you’ve [...]

The calmness of Buemi

F1 | Insanity | penge @ 21:00, April 16th, 2010.

You obviously have to be made of fairly stern stuff to be an F1 driver, flinging yourself round corners at silly speeds and putting yourself in danger, but Sebastien Buemi today demonstrated a crazy level of nonchalence after a pretty spectacular crash.
Good old Seb Buem was driving along at a pretty nippy 190mph or so [...]

The plane madness of The Finnhed

Bodily Harm | Insanity | Money | penge @ 08:00, April 3rd, 2010.

You’ll notice that the categories for this post include INSANITY and BODILY HARM. Plus the post title has the word MADNESS in it. Insanity, bodily harm and madness? What exactly is going on?
The Finnhed, that most curious and deranged of individuals, and occasional poster here on your beloved Randomlinkage, is jumping out of an aeroplane. An airborne aeroplane. One [...]

Ring ring! Ring ring!

Insanity | Music | Observations of Life | penge @ 20:30, April 1st, 2010.

Once again it’s time for me to plonk my old-man hat firmly onto my head and bemoan a modern piece of music. I could have used phrases such as “It’s not like it was in my day”, “Ooh what a racket!” or “Well there’s just no tune”, but today I’m going to be brief, direct [...]

Weathergeddon beckons.

Bodily Harm | Insanity | trench @ 18:01, January 12th, 2010.

It can’t have escaped your attention that some form of weather-based apocalypse or Ragnorok is very much upon us. The skies have fallen grey and soulless, the ground is a hardened lifeless mass and the sale of woolen garments has increased moderately. Fortunately things seem to have taken a turn for the better in the [...]

Horse-tastic.

Insanity | Observations of Life | Sports | Television | trench @ 18:01, December 23rd, 2009.

Xmas tv is, as we all know, almost universally rubbish. Aside from two or so Christmas specials of note, and some insane re-imagining of an Attack of the Killer Plants story, you’d be better off on Xbox Live, cup of tea in hand.
If you are one of ‘the womens’ things are fractionally better because at [...]

Money, get away… Get a good job with more pay, and you’re OK

Insanity | Money | Respect | penge @ 22:44, November 4th, 2009.

Randomlinkage would like to salute Dalton Chiscolm. No, it’s not a town in Somerset, it’s the name of a man. An American man. Never heard of him, of old Dalton Chiscolm? Then please, let me enlighten you all.
Dalton (we’re on first name terms, Dalton and I), good old Dalton, got a bit narked with the [...]

Candy Mountain Charlie!

You’re all educated, intelligent folk. You all possess a worldly amount of knowledge and wisdom. That’s why I don’t want to patronise you by spelling out the obvious message of the video below. I wouldn’t do that to you all, you’re above that, the issues and subtext of the video are clear for all to see. [...]

Alternative Powers of the Super variety

Comics | Insanity | Observations of Life | penge @ 21:41, May 19th, 2009.

I’m sure you’ve been asked, or have asked of others, the question “If you had a Superpower, what would it be?” It’s a fairly standard question with thousands of answers. Shows such as Heroes (we won’t mention the second series though, ahem) and films like X-Men all promote the stereotypical Superpowers, such as flight, super [...]
