A sneak peek at our latest Flash game character

Filed under: by VeryVito at 12:10 am — [Tag on del.icio.us]

As the three people who still read this site may remember, I've been working on a new Flash game for a while now. I announced it a couple months ago, and so far, I realize I've produced very little evidence that I am, in fact, doing anything beyond producing the drivel you occasionally see posted here.

With that in mind, I would like to begin unveiling the "stars" of the new game, so I'll begin this week by introducing you to one of the foundational characters on which this new epic is based.

Keep in mind, I'm "sneak previewing" the new game's characters not to garner praise or criticism (although praise is surely appreciated), but to whet your appetite for the game and to prepare you for the state-of-the-art graphics, fantastic computerized special effects and flat-out artistic "je-ne-sais-quois" (That's French for "I don't know quois!") that will be unleashed this winter.

So may I now present to you, the unsuspecting reader: The star of our show, the main character of what will surely be known as The First Great Game of 2006â„¢ (not really trademarked, and not really likely), the one, the only…

Doodle!

Doodle!

Yes, dammit: The star's name is Doodle.

You were expecting something a little flashier, maybe? Well… well so? Yeah, where's your game, then??

But hang on to your hats, people, 'cuz there are a lot more amazing things ahead.

Really!

By the way, I should also mention that Doodle's new game will probably not be ready until the New Year at the earliest (I told you it was going to be a big one, dammit!).

WTF? if (query == ‘McDonald’s Monopoly”) { result = ‘Wango Tango?’ }

Filed under: by VeryVito at 10:00 pm — [Tag on del.icio.us]

This may be fixed by the time anyone sees this, but I've just happened across something Google/eBay related that I thought was at least worth a chuckle (Oh my god, it's Friday night and I am a geek!):

While skimming an online discussion thread regarding the ongoing search for an elusive McDonald's Monopoly "Boardwalk" piece (or is it Park Place that's rare?) and the questionable sale of "Boardwalk-ish" items on eBay, I decided to find out a little more about the contest (I've seen others play the game for years now, but I've never had the attention span).

So I typed "McDonald's Monopoly" into Google's

trusty search box, and clicked the first link that came up — which happens to be an Adwords link describing McDonald's Monopoly items available on eBay. No surprise so far… until the eBay results came up. Instead of "McDonald's Monopoly" I was treated to a listing of items "of or relating to 'Wango Tango.'"

Um, what?

For the record, the weird listing only seems to appear when you type "McDonald's Monopoly" (with an apostrophe), and not when one enters "McDonalds Monopoly," sans apostrophe. And it only works through the Google ad, not within the eBay site itself.

Video iPod and an iMac that’s a PVR in disguise

Filed under: by VeryVito at 2:34 pm — [Tag on del.icio.us]

Everybody said Apple was going to announce a video iPod today, but insiders at Apple told us they weren't. Turns out they did, though.

And better yet, the

target="_blank">new iMac has a freakin' remote, making it a real entertainment hub. So now my next PVR will play Flash animations, too! And World of Warcraft! And, um… Photoshop.
