Dragon’s Lair chosen the most overrated video game of all time

If you’re like Web Watch, you’ve likely spent hundreds – if not thousands – of quarters at the local mall arcade playing Pac-Man, Defender, Smash TV, Zaxxon, Spy Hunter, any number of pinball games like the Addams Family machine, iRobot, and many others.

And while you may have your own personal favorite to play because you were good at the game or you liked the storyline, there’s that one machine that everybody seems to love (or at least, think nostalic about) but everyone hated to play.

Except for That One Guy who knew all the right moves at all the right times.

How To Build a Life-Size Gingerbread House (Recipe)

Who wouldn’t want to live in an edible house?

You wouldn’t have to worry about vacuuming the crumbs up off the floor.  Sleeping would be delightful, on a soft marshmallow cloud.  And repairs would be as easy as mixing up some royal frosting.

  • are the neighbors seemingly social in the manner you would enjoy?
  • are the homes and yards kept up?
  • have the home prices appreciated properly, or were they overpriced and all underwater?
  • what’s the ratio of rentals to ownership?

Top Paid Musicians of 2012 (here’s a hint: it’s not all from Youtube or iTunes)

It’s time once again to take a look at HOW MUCH MONEY MUSICIANS MAKE each year.

Web Watch knows what you’re thinking — with iTunes, the Amazon Music Store, Google Play and other services, let alone the money that comes in from Youtube from display advertising showing with all their posted music videos — that successful artists would almost literally be rolling in dough.

But that’s not the case, as Web Watch has told you before regarding HOW MUSIC ROYALTIES WORK.

Who is the Sexiest President (and Sexiest Vice President) ever?

Being President of the United States (or POTUS, if you like acronyms) comes with a lot of responsibilities, not the least of which is that your profile becomes highly raised. You’re going to be seen everywhere, from every angle. Video, photos – all living on forever.

So if you’re going to be President, you have to be sure to look your best.  And be extremely charismatic, so you can get your job done.  It’s called “politics” for a reason, folks, and being able to persuade people to do what you need them to do requires a ton of charisma.

If you’re reading this right now, chances are you didn’t win the lottery

So we hear that you may have bought a lottery ticket or two recently, hoping to maybe win big.

Hey – it could happen. It only takes one set of numbers to win, right?  And somebody’s going to win the lottery eventually – it can’t keep growing forever without a winner, as that would end up decreasing sales if customers ever figured out that nobody ever wins.

That’s why we still bother to try, because while the chances of winning the lottery drawing are practically nil, it’s still a one in millions chance of hitting… and that’s better odds than not bothering to buy a ticket in the first place.
