How Many Classic Arcade Games Can You Name? (It’s the arcade version of Where’s Waldo?)

Post author By web gangsta
Post date March 22, 2010

Web Watch is a big fan of the classic video games that populated arcades back in the 80’s and early 90’s.

Not like today’s gaming arenas, filled with craptastic ticket-dispensing machines that teach kids different variations of gambling in order to “earn” enough tickets to buy a lousy stuffed animal that would have cost half as much if purchased directly from the local Toys R Us.

No, we’re talking the classic quarter-munching games like Galaga, Ms Pac Man, Defender, i-Robot, Dig Dug, Robotron, and others from the best game years.

Laugh all you want, Nintendo-boy. We liked our games simple, with a single joystick and maybe two buttons. Cheesy audio and bad graphics were state-of-the-art at the time… and you still felt as if you got your quarter’s worth every time you played.

March 20th is OBSCURA DAY.

This is a day celebrated around the world as a way to highlight obscure activities and hidden gems found in cities all over the world.

Perhaps there’s a secret underground tour that you’ve been dying to take, or a unique museum in an out-of-the-way town that nobody ever visits that should be brought to someone’s attention. Obscura Day is your invitation to do those things that you’ve always wanted to check out.

If only changing our name was this easy.

Being a casual wrestling fan, Web Watch knows how important it is to have an awesome-sounding Professional Wrestler Name.

So now we know, thanks to the PROFESSIONAL WRESTLER NAME GENERATOR that our professional wrestler name is “Prince Kingpin”. If Web Watch were fighting as a wrestling diva, our name would be “Curvy Val”. Don’t think that’s going to happen.

Meet Trent. To some, Trent is a savior. (You might not want to shake his hand, though)

TRENT C. ARSENAULT IS A PROFESSIONAL SPERM DONOR.

Although, perhaps “professional” is not the correct word to use, as Trent Arsenault gives his sperm away for free to any interested party.

He claims at least 10 successful pregnancies, and suggests that those interested in his services use the “local pickup” option, although FedEx is available if necessary.

What is the key of YOUR favorite songs?

Post date February 17, 2010

Remember back when Web Watch told you about how THERE SHE GOES by SIXPENCE NONE THE RICHER was called THE MOST PERFECT SONG EVER RECORDED? It was called that, in part due to its ideal song length, and for other reasons as well.

While it may not be a way to tell if what you’re listening to is THE perfect song or not, if you’re a LAST.FM user than we can at least identify if the key of your favorite songs all fall into the same ballpark or not.

In other words, do you favor listening to songs that are in the same key or not?

Introducing “My New Pink Button” (sometimes the jokes write themselves)

Post author By web gangsta
Post date February 15, 2010

Web Watch will refrain from making any commentary about MY NEW PINK BUTTON, a new makeup product proclaiming to add a youthful pinkness to a woman’s Lady Parts.

No – unlike Natalie Bui at the University of Colorado, Web Watch will not say that we are “repulsed” or state that it’s sad that “women have become so self-conscious of their bodies that they feel that even their most intimate parts must be altered and “beautified.”

We will not call My New Pink Button “yet another extreme product to alter women’s bodies to appear more like the porn star ideal“, as Little Miss Brightside has done.

Nor will we call My New Pink Button as the “worst Valentine’s Day Gift, ever“.

No, Web Watch will not do this.

What Web Watch can do is offer the following information, taken straight from the My New Pink Button website, allowing faithful Web Watch readers to form their own opinion on the product.

After all, My New Pink Button wouldn’t exist if there wasn’t some demand for it, right?

Dee Snider wants us to TAKE BACK THE HORNS

Rock-n-roll is all about being a rebel and going against The Man and The Corporation.

To hear Dee Snider tell it, it’s also not wearing a pledge pin on your uniform.

That’s why Dee Snider has asked the Internet to come together for one singular cause:

Today’s fact: the average football game consists of just 11 minutes of action

Post author By web gangsta
Post date February 7, 2010

Regardless of whether you’re a sports fan or not, chances are that you’ll be watching at least a portion of the Super Bowl game on Super Bowl Sunday, whether it be during a SUPER BOWL PARTY, at a bar, or just sitting home and watching it on TiVo with your family.

And the Super Bowl is a 4+ hour long extravaganza of commercial excess. This led the WALL STREET JOURNAL to sit down and figure out exactly HOW MUCH ACTION ACTUALLY TAKES PLACE DURING AN AVERAGE TELEVISED FOOTBALL GAME.

And the WSJ came to the conclusion that during the 60 minutes worth of time on the official NFL game clock, there was approximately just 11 minutes of actual playing. So what fills up the rest of those 3 or 4 hours worth of television?
