Your silhouette immortal

This is pretty cool, this company will use a lathe to cut your silhouette into a wooden knick knack. A bit pricey but still neat.

X-Men 3

[inspic=72,leftclear,fullscreen,thumb]

I just finished watching the 3rd X-men movie, X-Men the Last Stand (yeah I know, I live in Japan, things come out a lot later here and I didn’t feel like going to the movie theater to see it by myself anyway) and I enjoyed it overall.

There have been a lot of complains about it around on the Web, but I thought it was good, and now I finally understand all those “I’m the juggernaut bitch!” jokes that are floating around the web.

Yes there are a lot of continuity/character changes, but it was kind of necessary I think.

More discussion (with spoilers) after the jump.

Fun puzzle

[inspic=71,leftclear,fullscreen,thumb]
This is a neat little flash puzzle.

There are 8 people, a family consisting of a mother, father, 2 sons and 2 daughters, and also a policeman and a convict.

You have to use the raft to get everyone across the river but there are a few qualifications.

  • Only 2 people can get on the raft at one time.
  • The father can’t be left alone with either of the daughters without the mother there.
  • The mother can’t be left alone with either of the sons without the father there.
  • The convict can’t be left with any of the family members without the policeman.
  • And only the father, the mother and the policeman can operate the raft

Give it a try. Rehosted here, click here to open the flash in a new window.

The game is in Chinese, just click the big round blue button in the bottom right corner to start.

It would seem to originate from http://www.smallcampus.net but the site is entirely in Chinese.

If anyone wants to know the solution, let me know in the comments.

The bow game in particular suckers me in because I love stuff where you can customize and upgrade your stuff.

There’s a bunch of neat games at the creator’s website here…

The sound effects all seem to be the creator going “pow! Boom!” etc. which is great.
