The great trench videogame hall of shame.

False Role Models | Gaming | trench @ 20:01, March 26th, 2009.

I’ve mentioned previously that despite being an avid gamer for what must be over 20 years now, I remain utterly, utterly crap at nearly all of them. This is a shame, yet I struggle on. How brave of me.
Of course back in the 16 bit days you could be forgiven for being hopeless at videogames. [...]

Take this train to… the station!

Observations of Life | penge @ 20:00, March 26th, 2009.

I recently had to book some travel insurance to cover my impending trip to the America-land. It’s very, very rare that I read all the wording and paragraphs and all the other guff on a document such as that, but because of the importance of this particular trip, with the whole wedding thing and all, [...]

Aerial filth

Comedy | Filth | penge @ 20:53, March 25th, 2009.

It’s highly likely that the majority of you will have seen this, but this is pretty funny.
A 60ft willy. A massive donger on a roof!
Filth on a scale that can be seen from the air! Apparently the lad who drew the phallus is going to have to remove the obscenity when he returns from travelling. [...]

Emergency. Emergency. There is an emergency going on.

Greetings readers. It is only fitting that my anti-climatic return caused some kind of massive feedback loop event in randomlinkage’s powerful giga-servers. Do not be alarmed. The intermittent site outages we are experiencing are a result of Mr Penge’s attempts to correct the issue.
As we speak he is dangling by a slender rope, deep inside [...]

Spotted : Mysterious ball of warmth

Observations of Life | penge @ 16:09, March 21st, 2009.

It has come to Randomlinkage’s attention that there are reports around the country of a hot, orangey, ball of light in the sky, which is making everything bright and warm.
We would like to stress that you should all exercise extreme caution when the huge glowing ball is in the sky. People have been seen outside, [...]

Holy bitchslap Batman!

Does spending too much time together fighting the forces of evil cause strain and friction upon Superhero pairings?
Yes, it would seem so, as this brilliantly comical image shows.
Commence laughter.

Heroes of advertising… Unite!

You may be thinking that this is another lazy post where I link to a video on YouTube and then make some marginally amusing comment about it. You’d be right. Good old YouTube, providing slackers like me with endless content to spoonfeed to slackers like you.
This had somehow skipped my attention during all the Red [...]

Cluck cluck widdle widdle

Over the past few days my wee has smelt of chicken and noodle soup.
Could someone please explain why this is?
Thanks.

Kings of YouTube

We here at Randomlinkage (well, just me, given Mr Trench’s continuing absence…) are proud in the knowledge that we keep our finger on the pulse of the computing world. Not a single internet event happens without us knowing, a milestone does not go unnoticed.
Which is why we bring you a YouTube video from May 2007. [...]

The top 50 bestest ever games… EVER!

Books | Gaming | penge @ 23:31, March 6th, 2009.

The Guiness Book of Records have a whole entire book dedicated to the world of computer gaming. It’s called the Guinness World Records Gamer’s Edition 2009 and as Eurogamer report here, Guinness have named the fifty most important and influential videogames. EVER. OF ALL TIME. This means that these games should be the best, the [...]

Spud u read

Books | Food | Linkage | penge @ 17:30, March 2nd, 2009.

The good old Guardian website have a feature where authors pick their top ten favourite books on a particular topic. Some of these topics can be very specific, such as the top 10 literary Gypsies or the top 10 tales of metamorphosis (?). Whilst glancing through the list, my eyes fell upon what surely must [...]

Who you gonna call?

Comedy | Food | Linkage | penge @ 13:23, March 1st, 2009.

I know that we often link to strange things, like comical video clips or amusing news items, but I thought we’d take it a bit seriously today. In a rare moment of class, I thought we’d up our standards and show you something fairly high brow and intelligent.
So click here to watch Weebl and Bob [...]
