I own a Bungers original bmp and I'm off to eBay.

Experience for yourself the fine ass piece of art that mmChronic was on about earlier. Witness the horror as a Big Nasty Ass Bulldozer runs people over.

Hang on a minute... If we like I like! and I like likes New Links, and everyone likes The Presurfer and Fark, won't every thing just go round and round until the earth's rotation gets affected, just like in superman...?? Then dogs internet implosion would happen! As he forcast! I can back up my hypothesis with these two facts :
See...?? Come to New Links for the humour, and each day leave a little bit wiser, thanks to me, and my profound facts.... :)
- FACT ONE : If all the women in the world switched on their vibrators at the same time, the earth would be knocked off it's spinny axis thing, and collide with the moon.
- FACT TWO : When all flights were banned inbound into the states on September 12th 2001 the average daily temperature all around the word went up by a degree during the day, and down by a degree at night.
See...?? Come to New Links for the humour, and each day leave a little bit wiser, thanks to me, and my profound facts.... :)

Kanji text entry
That translator works quite well. Now to play japanese games all I have to do is find some way of entering the kanji text from my GBA into the translate box.

What better way to spread the gospel than

Sweet models
No not boobies - these are lollies. Which are models. It's a Japanese site so seeing what looked like a bukkake lolly wasn't too surprising.
MS Paint anim
This animation put me in mind of Bungers' 7334 9fx 5k1||z - exactly the same style as his famed "Israelis bulldozing Palestinian villages" masterpiece. In fact if I was Bungers, I'd sue.
Safish for work - features occasional badly drawn genitals.

Anyway enough of MS's inadequacies
As Bungers said it's Friday so here's a mad game. This one has 4 mini games - the twist being you start playing one then you are playing two and so on until you are playing 4 games simultaneously - juggling for video gamers!
And another virus - W32.Mimail.S@mm
I had 2 of these sent to me yesterday - and my antivirus didn't know what they were. So I was left with the decision - do I run the attached document.txt.scr? hahahaha! Although I don't know why I'm laughing - there are obviously millions of idiots who do open the attachments which can be seen by how rapidly these buggers spread.
Anyway after my antivirus software updated this morning it identified them as mimail.s - apparently it pops up a dialog box and prompts for credit card details. Ooh had a lucky escape there - I of course would have entered my credit card details into any old random box that popped up.

IE broke again
Or.... Reasons to be worried...!
A new hole has been discovered in IE. This time it seems the extensions of files you are downloading can be spoofed e.g. The browser tells you that you are downloading a pdf when in fact it is an exe.
It seems MS are doing their best to break our interweb -
you can't click on links (In fact have you seen their latest advisory on this? Type in URLs instead of clicking. WTF?) and now you can't download files. Next it'll be pictures of Anne Widdecombe returned when you look for boobies.

Not a collection of ocular marbles (boo hiss!) but a gallery of beautiful women (and Geri Halliwell). Front page SFW (except for a single teeny thumbnail with boobies) - after that you're on your own.
Sorry
It was a typo. :)
Of course if you didn't change your name every time you changed your gender I'd be able to keep up. Sorry Ms Bungers Gifton.

We should set this up for Bung then we can all laugh at his Westlife habit.
I like!
YA another bookmarklet thing "I like!" is actually quite useful. You maintain a list of your favourite links (simple one click thing like posting to blogspot) but the neat thing is it will give you lists of sites that other people have recommended by examining other lists that have similar entries to yours.
Looks like it's official then...
Nobby is off for a pittance to Villa although the story does mention a third club involved so we may be able to screw a few more pennies for him. However much we finally get for him it won't be enough.
We play Villa away on 17th April. Fiver on Nobby for first goal?
EDIT: No third club mentioned - either text of story has changed or I read it wrong :)
New Links
Oops forgot. Over to the right is a new linkage section - lots of good linkage sites for you to plunder fresh linkage and post here :)

That was a good list dogs but I'll stick with my original ten I think - otherwise I'll be fiddling with it for years. ooer.

Tijuana Bibles
A collection of Tijuana Bibles. And in anticipation of the next question, an excerpt from the FAQ.
What is a Tijuana Bible?
Tijuana Bibles (AKA eight-pagers, bluesies) are small (~2x5") illustrated pornographic tracts printed primarily before 1960. The skimpy stories usually framed contemporary movie, sports, political, or cartoon/comic book stars in absurdly hyperbolic sexual situations.
Most bibles consisted of 8 stapled pages. Sometimes you'd get a bonus frame from another title on the back cover, probably a printing mistake. Some were printed in a larger format with 16 pages. Page counts vary, but most stick with the tried and true 8-pager format.
I've never seen a "color" bible. Inside pages are black and white (or shades of such), with an occasional splash of red outlining on the cover.
The "artistic" quality is usually poor-- most feature atrocious grammar with illustrations just good enough to tweak a sexual response. (There are notable exceptions, of course!)

Lion Dancing
Back from watching the cele-brations in Newcastle's China Town. It was absolutely freezing (and before dogs starts with his pedantry that was a figure of speech rather than actually meaning the temparature was at freezing on the Kelvin scale! :P) so after we had watched the Lion Dance for a bit (but didn't get a very good view through the crowds) we dashed off to eat before it finished. Turns out this was a good move because the restaurants were chocker but after the Lion Dance finished the queues were out into the street for most of them.
The picture (taken by Lauren with her mini camera thing [High performance????]) was the lion coming into the restaurant for a dance - which meant we got a very good view, got stuffed with crispy beef and didn't freeze to death. Which was nice.

I think we should be more concerned by the fact she appears to be a patient of yours!
Or should we be more concerned that some one gave you a farkin' licence to practice medicine. MMChronic M.D...?? You might give Doogie Howser M.D. a run for his money!! arf arf!
(And yes... I did try to link Doogie to a fan site or something... but I don't think he used to specialise in female pelvic exams... at least not the 5pm on a Saturday afternoon "kid doctor" thing I used to remember...)
EDIT: Found him... I was looking for "Dougie Hauser"... and got "Dougie Hoser"... doh!

Monkey Link Part IV - The seach for chimps
Celebrate "Year of the Monkey" by sponsoring one of these little fellas. You even get to bring them home to your house for one day a year, so you can dress 'em up in 'uman clothes and make them drink tea from your best china!! Oooo ooo Aaaa O aaaA Ooo Ooo Aaa Aaaa!
Google images...
But do you know where they archive them...?? I saw the one for the 100 years of flight banner... (the google "oo's" were the propellors of the Wright Flyer 1)... Maybe we should do a New Link banner for special events?? Submit them to the usual address! (newlinks@mailinator.com) and they'll be deleted before anyone even looks at them!! ;)

My video games top 10
The games here are my top 10 remembered video games. I know I will have left out something awesome! They are listed in no particular order as that would be too hard. They all got inordinately unhealthy amounts of playtime from me. Some of the games may be available on other platforms but the ones mentioned are the platforms I played them on.
- Knightlore (Spectrum)
- Lords of Midnight (Spectrum)
- Turrican (Amiga)
- Civilisation (Amiga) [Link is actually to freeciv which is erm... civ for free!]
- Project Gotham Racing 2 (XBox)
- Zelda: Ocarina Of Time (N64)
- Morrowind (XBox)
- Powermonger (Amiga)

Ian Bell's Asian Kittens
Funnily enough, this is SFW!! Asian Kittens
How cool is that...?? A cat, from the guy who wrote Elite! He reckons the Acorn Archimedes version is the best, and I happen to have one of those in the loft at home. I will provide a full report on how retro gaming is crap/not crap in the near future!
p.s. You forgot Laser Squad. That must qualify..! :)

Video Games
I'm not denying Elite was awesome - back then. I just think you will be severely disappointed comparing space trading games to it as they will all fail due the fact that you loved Elite when you were a kid.
Top 10 games? I will have to have a little think about that. Immediately begging for inclusion though are Manic Miner (Spectrum), Turrican (Amiga), Civilisation (Amiga), Knight Lore (Spectrum), AOE (PC), LOM (Spectrum). And that's before a console or arcade game is mentioned! For instance I remember sitting for hours playing with one of those Binatone boxes that did football/tennis/shooting etc. I think 10 fave video games ever may be an impossible target!

Blah Blah Blah yesterday games were better Blah Blah Blah.
Well you can play Elite if you wish. Me? I'm counting down for Halo 2. No trading, hyperjumps or pirates to be seen. Just constant alien death. Marvellous.
The truth of the matter is that you will never find a trading game as good as Elite. Why? Because you played it to death as a child. It's imbued with all sorts of nostalgic loveliness. Try it now. It's cack! Move on... seek closure.. bring the period to a close... more psuedo psychoanalyst psychobabble. :)

Re: Freelancer... "Mouse Flight"....??? WTFITM??? Panders to the FPS generation.... I HAVE A FORCE FEEDBACK STICK AND WANT TO USE IT!! Pah! And.... In Elite, you knew that when you were near a space station, in a law abiding system, any funny business and you'd have Vipers all over the place to protect you... and pirates only existed in deep space, not fecking regen points right next to a fecking planet!! AAAAARRRGGHHHH!!!
p.p.s. And Homeworld... even though it's very pretty it looks like it's Command and Conquer in space!! I wanna fly a ship! (btw... I probably can fly a ship... I've only played it for five minutes, so I am reserving judgement on this one... More news tomorrow...)
I'm off to help Geoff Crammond finish Elite 2....

Free postcodes location data
Rather than pay huge amounts of money for postcode data to the Post Office or some data reseller like Hopewiser you can have it for free from here. OK it doesn't go down to the same level of detail as the commercial stuff but it would be very easy to knock up a 'nearest pub/cinema/whatever' type application with this data.
Morning all!
I had the misfortune of watching the Wing Commander movie for the second time last night. I'm sure I've seen it before, but I obviously forgot how shiznit it was, and erased it from my memory!
Problems include:
It's also quite funny, that all the ships have a similar design to those in Crimson Skies but I can't be assed to research if that's a Chris Roberts game too, and they've probs got the same lead designer Hank "One Trick" Whoever...
Anyways... that leads me to the point of this post... Recommend me a good space trading/explore game like Elite/Wing Commander/Homeworld that's not crap like the film.
Thanks! Bung "Dangerous" Gifton (BBC model B plus 6502 second processor to control the Docking Computer)

British XI V2
My "British" team would be as follows:-
With El Tel's diamond thingummy - Scholes behind front 2, Thompson and Beckham playing as wingers and JJ providing the anchor. Ooh look - all English!
- Paul Robinson
- Wayne Bridge (just as cack as Ashley Cole but he's not a cheating twat.)
- Jonathan Woodgate
- John Terry
- Glen Johnson
- David Beckham
- Paul Sholes
- Jermaine Jenas
- Kevin Beattie (should be Sir Al but they can't have him!)
- Michael Owen
- Alan Thompson

British XI
Well,here goes
1 Robinson-Leeds (cos i can't have Given)
2 Cole-The Arse/Bridges-Chelsea (nout in it,neither brilliant)
3 Hughes-Newcastle (not had the best season but he is good,honestly)
4 Woodgate-Newcastle (no debate)
5 Campbell-The Arse (Even without Rio's ban,i still think he is third best Centre-Half)
6 Scholes-Man U Mingers
7 Beckham-Real Madrid
8 Dyer-Newcastle
9 God(AKA Alan)-Newcastle
10 Owen-Liverpool
11 Giggs-Man U Mingers (As i've got nearly all right footers,for balance)
I picked my team on the old system of 1-11 position wise.It would be easy to name the best X1 but they would be all attackers. As we in Newcastle know,that does'nt work...A La Keegan.
I'm sure to have forgot someone brilliant but this is of the top of my head.

STOP THE PRESS!!!
Chopper, the iconic 1970s bicycle brand is set to make a comeback as maker Raleigh relaunches it in April for a limited period of time. With its red lined tyres, Chopper was the essential bike of the 70s. And fans of the bike (affectionately known as 'The Hot One') will be pleased to know that he bike's original design by Alan Oakley, the then Chief Designer at Raleigh, remains largely unchanged on the new version. Available only in the original Infra Red, the materials in the bike's production are taken from the original Chopper concept, even using the original tyre mould from the 70s. Chopper junkies will instantly recognise the legendary 'ape-hanger' handlebars, elongated seat, back rest, chrome seat hoop and mud guards that were instrumental to the bikes radical design. Previously positioned on the cross bar of the bike, the gearshift has been moved to the handlebars to comply with modern safety standards. The first 2004 Choppers will be limited edition with a personalised plaque featuring the production line number, where the gearshift once was. The Limited Edition Choppers will retail at £249.99, all others will retail at £199.99. Loz Cox, Chopper Product Manager at Raleigh says: "Change in the bike market and demand for retro products like the VW Beetle and Mini Cooper sparked the idea for the introduction of the new Chopper. The new Chopper has been restyled for the new century and a new generation of kids who are looking for a highly stylised bike unlike any other on the market."
Federal Eurpean Team of Great Britain
Maybe you could field a "seniors" team, with Ian Rush, Big Nev, Roy Keane, and Ryan Giggs in 2012, but that's my contribution.... and you could always wheel out Colin Hendry for a laugh I suppose!!
Back to work... Jack Straw is a twat. It'll never work!
Im Afraid ..
any British team would have to start with an Irishman.See here.
LMFAO!!!
That would be the British team composed entirely of Englishmen then? A few years ago Giggs may have got in from Wales but he wouldn't be an automatic choice for me now. I can't think of anyone else. FFS Scotchish players aren't fit to be ball boys nevermind footballers!
There you go - a Friday challenge. Try to pick a British X1 and see how many are English, Scotch, Oirish or Inbred. Post any teams so we can all pick it to pieces :)
Ahhh... but... the bid also states that they might have the football in some other countries to... called "Scot Land", "Northern Ire Land" and a place called "Whales" (I've never heard of them either). Means there'll be games at the millenium stadium etc. What's interesting is that this may mean that we have to field a "British" foosball team in the Olympics, which will be the first time we've done that since the sixties... alledgedly!
p.s. Anyone know how to "save" a .ram file....?? I'd like to listen to it later, and then I'll delete it. Of course. Here's the link Ja Rule reads the Grinch btw... It's cool....

London launches Olympic bid
Now I'm sure I had heard any suggestion we would bid for the 2012 Olympics was tosh - we wouldn't be wasting tax payers money on touting for the right to play host to one of the most corrupt sporting circuses in the world. It seems that decision has been reversed - whether due to UK politicians getting their palms greased or as a bid to deflect attention away from all the cack they've had over Iraq, Dr Kelly, price of cheese etc is unknown.
This would normally have been the cue for a rant about the bastard cockney-centric UK government spending yet more money on the cack hole that is Lahndahn. Then selfishly these concerns disappeared. Included in the bid is the possibility we might get some of the footie at SJP. So that's alright then.
Despite being one of the best modern, modular construction (MFI flat pack) stadiums in England(!? That's what the mackems think anyway) the Stade de Shite mysteriously receives no mention. Snigger.

Space ship lands in Austria!
Or maybe it's just the new scrolling message display thing that has just been installed at the Kunsthaus art gallery in Graz.
Media conspiracy?
Or world leaders looking foolish? You decide.
So you want be a record producer...
The Beastie Boys label, Grand Royal LLC is up for sale - including contracts with artists, master tapes etc etc.
The Beagle has landed... oh..erm.. no it hasn't..
But Spirit has rolled off it's ramp and is now driving around on Mars
Which is nice...
Don't you think it looks a bit like a mini Number 5 from short circuit..??

It's what you've all been waiting for...
Presenting The Rolf Harris Jukebox Can you tell what it is yet....??
Did you know...
The Toon are responsible for the decline of Leeds United.This letter was recently sent to 442 magazine by a Leeds fan.
Nearly 70 Grand A Second.
"We all know about the ongoing saga of Leeds United:The Trial,Instanbul,The Book,The Sackings,The Sellings,The Financial Mismanagement,The Rented Fish etc etc
However,no mention is made of Elland Road,Saturday,Dec 22,2001 in the annals of the downward spiral towards the Nationwide.
At 4:30 that afternoon Leeds led Newcastle 3-1.By 4:50,after 20 minutes of the most inept defending known to man. Newcastle had won 4-3 and pocketed the 3 points.
At the end of the season Newcastle finished 4th,5 points ahead of Leeds,and qualified for the Champions League.
Now i know that it's a long time from December until the end of the season and much is still to happen,but if Leeds had held that lead,in the true six-pointer style it would have been they and not the Mags mixing it with the european elite as they had 2 years previously.How different would things be now? At £80M in the red and counting,was this the most expensive 20 minutes in football history?"
Can i add 3 things to this
1 I'm struggling to find a link for this....and an Icon
2 I was there.It was one of the best games i have ever seen with my own eyes.
3 All together now "If you're proud to be a Geordie,clap you hands" and so on.

Food glorious food
All this talk of spam and mince has made me hungry for rations. Disappointed there is nothing using rat.
Mars update!
Hope you've got a widescreen monitor... here's a nice panoramic view of mars taken by Spirit.
Still no news from Beagle...

Weird, odd and quirky stories? Better new link it!
Fancy A tall tale of mince and tatties....?? Look no further!
So that's why spam looks like that dpkxez
Ever wondered why spam contains random letters, chunks of books or really bad punctuation and grammar? Wonder no more.
Bless me Father, I have run out of ink
Feeling in need of spiritual guidance and ink cartridges? Have no fear LaserMonks are here!
More non Rockstar stuff...
Also, if you ain't got Prince of Persia: The Sands of Time you can now get Splinter Cell FOC.
Which is nice...!

Games Link in "Not Rockstar" shocker!
Remember Secret of Mana on the SNES...?? Well here's the follow up Sword of Mana Want.... Need...

Colour scheme
I've just implemented a new colour scheme but I don't like it. If you think you can do better have a go and let me know if you come up with anything better than this - it won't be hard :)
Insanity Test.
Watch for a minute and try not to laugh.Insanity Test

The Ultimate Gay & Lesbian Cars
You guys have been very helpful with helping me find a car, so let me return the favour. Bung, isn't that yours mincing in at number 8? :)
M-m-m-m-multiblog part II
And if you do a GIS, you get this. Sorry, but it had to be done. And it's a Googleism, which is also cool!
M-m-m-multiblog!!!
How cool is this...???
And how cool is my double icon trick??!! WAY COOL! In fact, it's ICE COLD. ;)

Hot slug action
No, not bullets. These are Leopard slugs - doing it. SFW - unless you work in a place that disapproves of pictures of a slimy invertebrate's genitalia.
Did you get yourself a new car Mr. Chronic...??
If not, why not try this..?!!! You know you want it!
You can get inside this robot too
This robot has a body sized orifice. You can climb right inside. It's a mech! Primarily designed for rescue missions I'm sure with a bit of tweaking it could be used for world domination or anything.
Real AIBO
"AIBO-MAN" is all well and good, but until they combine it with one of these I'm not interested. (NSFW BTW)
p.s. Nice redesign!
Too tired to walk your AIBO?
Then you need one of these to do it for you.

Do you have an FX5900?
Have a free upgrade to an FX5950.
Desperate bid to increase number of games on Linux?
So that's Tux Racer and now shitty old DOS games. w00t!

Kitty Milkshake
Thirsty? Then try one of these . Guaranteed to be full of protein they will do wonders for your digestive system. Although the claws can knack when you are "passing" them.
It's Wacko - as you've never seen him before
because you can make him look how you want. Except human - that is beyond the scope of the program.

IRC Bible
This is a little known fact but the Bible is just a collection of IRC logs. Their origin has become lost in the mists of time. But now they have been found!
I see the hatemail page is empty atm - I think this probably won't be the case for long.

And another redesign :)
This time not a table, tr or td in sight. All positioning done by css and it loads tons faster (tons being the ISO measurement rate for data transfer) and it works in IE6 & Firebird 0.6. Woohoo :)
More changes to come particularly in the format of the posts themselves.

Is anyone out of work at the moment?
Never fear, Bungers is here and brings you his daily round up of all the best Jobs
This was forwarded to me, I didn't dig it up myself. I like boobies (NSFW)
Acid trip
This one is an artist given acid in the 50's by the US gubmint and told to draw pictures.
Perfect accessory for the hooked up perv
A USB sex toy. Honest. Geeks need not apply - no API/SDK supplied.
Get off smack
A new drug is being trialled that will cure heroin addiction after six weeks with one shot. I was under the impression a shot of cyanide would cure any smackhead's addiction instantaneously. ho hum.

Bush is...
"43rd President of the United States; son of George Herbert Walker Bush (born in 1946)" also "dense", "thick","not of the highest quality or sophistication" and "an amateur" according to Princeton and others.

Yahoo! News - Secret Movie Moguls
Apparently there is a thing called the "scene" that consists of lots of people racing to be the first to release illegal copies of stuff. Well blow me down.

Contrived monkey story to test icon code.

Icons
I am just about to upload the icon code. This will appear in your new posts. To choose an icon replace the ICON NAME HERE bit with one of the icon names: pirate or monkey - more soon!
If you don't want an icon just delete the icon code from your post - and if that scares you just leave it alone - default action is for no icon.
EDIT
Stupid bloody blogspot. Post template only appears in the new post bit on the blog editing pages - it doesn't appear in the "Blog This" window!
Workaround: paste the following lines into your post if you want an icon

Go to Mars
in a virtual stylee. First data set has also been released - Spirit's Landing.
Would you like Jazz with that...??
Every fat American with elastic-topped jeans will be able to surf with their McLaptop and "freedom" fries as Mickey D's goes Wi-Fi
Maybe we could suggest a few links for them! (Maybe that form on the right has been designed especially for that..???!! Nice work mmChronic!)

Picture of fear...
Of course if someone was going to take a scalpel to my nads I would do the same!
One down, about a billion to go.
A chinese boy rejects "piratical" practices. Won't be long before Disney and MS can rest easy.
More football...
...this time involving humans and robots - all on Segways. And Ratboy still wouldn't be able to score.
What's so special about Alan Shearer?
Everything - so here's an interview with the Lion of Gosforth himself in honour of him cementing his place at the top of the Premiership scoring table.
So where's the funny part? OK for laughs you could always compare him to another "England" striker! :P

Another reason to get an iPod?
iPods DRM has been broken by DVD Jon. Changes name to iPod Jon by deed poll.
As for the image tags - I have an idea for displaying without poster having to do inordinate amount of work- only problem now is producing graphics for each type of story. And yes that is a hint dogscogs!

I'm looking for a piratey memory game - but not too piratey.
This is a collection of pirate themed puzzles wrapped in an rpg style world. Yar! - very impressive so far.
Not a new link, but here's iPod mini anyway
I'm just posting this cause now I want an iPod mini, and I didn't want one before. So that's got to be newsworthy.
Insert gag about Mini-me (Come on! Give me a break - You try and be funny about an mp3 player!)
p.s. I think we need a *technology* banner for this kind of link. Then we'll be like an online, smutty version of T3 magazine or Stuff or something, but better, and in an award-winning format....

Mars - in colour!
First colour images from Spirit have been released. Still none of Beagle 2.
Middlesborough's Most Wanted
Police on Teeside have released pictures of their most wanted crims. If you are not aware of 'boro's reputation then please be warned: This link shows mutants.
The interweb should be banned!
This one veers between very amusing and very disturbing. Basically two people create ID's on an anime RPG site and start talking (well "cybering" for gold anyway!) to people. Unsurprisingly they attract a big fat paedo - read the logs here.
