Sites Unseen
I’m starting new sections in Sites Unseen. In one of them, I’ll feature some of the (good) requests you send me. And in the other one, I’ll let you choose which game I’ll review/feature next. The reason? I just think it would be cool. Skip to the bottom if you’re interested.
Maddox hates Idaho
[doiop.com/IdahoBlows]
Maddox hates the US state of Idaho and wants to have it given back to Britain. Certainly not one of Maddox’s “awesome kick ass storeys”, but like all of Maddox’s articles it’s still a good read.
Google Never Lies
This one doesn’t have a link. It’s just a fun little thing to check out. Go to Google.com, type “miserable failure” in the search box and click on the “I’m feeling lucky” button. Look where it takes you! Also try “incompetent” and “failure”.
We aren't as good as we think we are!

No, it’s not about us RS folks finally realising the shocking truth. It’s about the whole humanity in general. Check it out, it’s an interesting read. Thanks to Rajiv for pointing me to this link.
Le Chupacabra’s Blog
[le-chupacabra.blogspot.com]
Eminent RS writer, game reviewer and anime critic Le Chupacabra has now graced the web with his new blog titled “The Lunacies of Le Chupacabra.” Okay now, jokes aside, Le Chupacabra is really a great writer and I’d say he’s a much better writer than me (although that’s not much of a praise, me being merely mediocre). Anyway, Chupacabra’s blog is actually a blog, plus a place for putting up all his articles and his own commentary on them. It’s a nice read and if you like his writing, you should check it out.

Game: Ringmania
[doiop.com/Ringmania]
In Ringmania, the object of the game is to clear the play field of all rings by connecting three or more rings of the same colour to make them "explode." The game includes an impressive physics implementation, as the rings have a simulated magnetized state that causes them to stick to other rings and objects. Use the left and right arrow keys to rotate the wheel, press space to temporarily increase the speed at which the rings fall. The centre of the wheel previews the next two rings that will fall. Look for the small arrow along the edge of the rim to know from where the next ring will fall. The game is over when any of the rings touches the outer rim, which closes-in gradually as time passes within each level. Click.
A very cool illusion

Ok, this is really an illusion, and a cool one at that. I promise nothing will jump out and attempt to scare you. Not even an iguana.

New: Requests section
What is this, you say? A section? Probably you didn’t even notice it properly. For those who did, and wondering what this is, it’s going to be a section in Sites Unseen where I’ll answer to the requests you readers send to me. So continue sending in your requests, and as long they aren’t stupid and rn’t typed liek dis, it’ll have a strong chance of being featured here. Also, don’t ask for pirated stuff either. That’s illegal.
What game should I review next?
Now that I’m thinking of reviewing games again, I thought it would be cool to let you readers decide what games you get read reviews about. Well, unless you prefer to just go Gamespot or IGN and read the reviews from there. Anyway, choose from these and let me know.
1. Age of Empires 3
2. Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire
3. Civilization 4
4. GTA: Liberty City Stories (This one is for the PSP and as I don’t have one I won’t be able to review it. It’d be more like a feature, focusing on what’s in the game and what the gamers around the world think about the game. Basically, it’ll be: “Look. Here’s what we’re missing.”)
That’s it for this week. You can also log on to my site BDcomics.blogspot.com if you’re into comics, or check out my photography at flickr.com/photos/niloy/. You can contact me for whatever reasons at niloy.me@gmail.com

Hi. I was just checking out blogs via the blue nav bar when I came to yours. You write better than other people, and most of the blogs I passed didn't have anyting on them. I had an idea. Maybe you could make money out of your blog through AdSense. Just an advice. Anyway, check out my blog or site: French Kissing TipsWell, keep up the good work.
