The Ultimate Movie Trivia Test (just in time for the Oscars)



What's That From?: The Ultimate Quiz Book of Contemporary Movie Lines
What’s That From?: The Ultimate Quiz Book of Contemporary Movie Lines

Do you consider yourself an expert on films and movies?

Web Watch has seen a ton of them over the years, but we admit that our memory banks have gotten a little fuzzier with some of the more obscure films that we’ve had to sit through.

On the other hand, we can recite lines from SORORITY BABES AT THE SLIMEBALL BOWL-A-RAMA and PSYCHOS IN LOVE.

Sudoku so hard, it took one team a giant computer and an entire year to solve a single puzzle



Will Shortz Presents Simply Sinister Sudoku: 200 Hard Puzzles
Will Shortz Presents Simply Sinister Sudoku: 200 Hard Puzzles

If you enjoy working on Sudoku puzzles as much as Web Watch does, then this may be of interest to you.

First, let’s talk a little bit about what Sudoku is, for those Web Watch readers who may have been living under a rock for the past 10 years:

Sudoku is a puzzle that is rumored to have been created by a puzzle creator living in Indiana, seemingly around 1979.  In 1984, it was published in a Japanese newspaper… and the rest, they say, is history.  The puzzle typically is a 9×9 square, and the object is to put the numbers 1-9 into the boxes so each row, column and 3×3 sub-block contains all the 1-9 digits.

In other words, it’s a game that’s absolutely perfect of playing on an iPad or phone.

Dirty Spanish - Everyday SlangDirty Spanish Swear Words

The 25 Worst Cities to Live In



Grand Theft Auto
Grand Theft Auto

If you’re a video game addict — and let’s face it, if you have at least two “sequel” games in your game library you probably qualify — then you may have sometimes used video games as a way to escape your mundane, humdrum life.

Because who wouldn’t want to be that guy in Grand Theft Auto who can just run around and carjack whatever he feels like sometimes?  Drive around and run bad drivers off the road?

Yeah, feels kinda good, doesn’t it?

Coversmart: The Album Cover Art Quiz



The Art of the Album Cover
The Art of the Album Cover

How well do you know your album covers?

Maybe not as well as you thought, especially if key components of said cover have been Photoshopped out, just like we’ve seen with the INVISIBLES game a few years ago – you remember that one, where people were digitally erased out of movie scenes and you had to guess what the film was?

How much money do iPhone / iPad app developers make?



Build a iPhone App in Less than an Hour
Build a iPhone App in Less than an Hour

Have you ever wondered how much money an app developer makes for writing and selling an app via the Apple iTunes app store for the iPhone or iPad?

Maybe not as much money as you think.

Sure, there are tons of stories about the $10,000 a day that a fart app can make for its creators.  But that’s not the norm.

Take the NAME THE FILM Challenge



Cutting Edge - The Magic of Movie Editing
Buy Cutting Edge – the magic of movie editing

Movie editing is not necessarily easy.

The director has a specific vision, and the film editor has to make the shots come to life.

And if you’re any type of a movie fan, you already can quote all your favorite films.  And even if they’re not your favorite films, you may at least have a memory of those indelible lines.  Web Watch, for instance, has never seen THE GODFATHER in its entirety (yeah, we know – we’ll get to it eventually).  But we do know quite a few of the lines from the film.

The Perfect Game of Putt-Putt – it’s only happened three times since 1959



Idiots on the Miniature Golf Course
Idiots on the Miniature Golf Course

Rick Baird from Charlotte, North Carolina, is not an idiot, nor does he play “miniature golf”. 

He plays Putt-Putt, and he’s really good at it.

Web Watch knows you’re confused — isn’t putt-putt golf and miniature golf the same thing?  No, dear reader, it isn’t.  Putt-Putt is a franchised company that defines a standard set of putting challenges that will be mainly the same from one Putt-Putt location to another.  Consistency is important here, and putting is a true skill to be showcased.

Miniature golf, on the other hand, is the one with windmills, gorillas, fake blue water, tunnels, obstacles, and other entertainment stuff scattered across the putting surface and environment.  Definitely not the same thing.

Fun with mugshots: Guess the Crime



Murder by Death
Murder by Death

Let’s face it. Mugshots are fun.

There’s a little schadenfreude with it as well, knowing that the person staring back at you from the mugshot gallery has allegedly done something wrong, and you haven’t.

And if Nick Nolte or other celebrity mugshots have proven anything, it’s just that some people make pretty funny police fodder.

How to win at Jeopardy!



Suck it, Trebek t-shirt
“SUCK IT, TREBEK” t-shirt

We’ve been on a bit of a Jeopardy! roll recently here at Web Watch, but that’s not going to stop us from throwing another bit of fun at our readers — mainly because we want to see you get onto the show… and once there, win.

While you may have to practice your buzzer techniques in the privacy of your own home, there’s nothing stopping you from spending months memorizing 3×5 index cards that cover the typical subjects — British royalty, geography, and state capitols.  That’s what Jeopardy! superstar Ken Jennings did, and look at how well it worked for him.
