There’s a strange man wearing an orange snuggy, and he wants your mouse pointer. Who is he? What drives him to do the things he does? It’s rumoured that if you can keep your mouse pointer safe for more than three hours, everything will become clear. Avoid doing important things today, and give Avoider a […]

Game On: New Left 4 Dead 2 trailer ‘leaked’ online!
Showcasing the four new survivors, some of the new Infected and the brand of humour we’ve come to expect from the L4D team, this new trailer should go some way toward cooling the anger over the perceived abandonment of the original game, which itself was released just under a year ago. Personally, I’m already sold. […]

World of Art: The Camouflaged Man
Drawing inspiration from the natural camouflage employed by creatures such as the chameleon and the rattlesnake, Beijing artist Liu Bolin, 35, exhibits a series of works where human beings are painted to blend into their surroundings. His intended message is that humans often forget that they are part of the natural environment, and as society […]

Video Spotlight: Clowns vs. Cops
This short film directed by Adam Berg, entitled Carousel, is an exceptional piece of hi-def cinema. What does it mean? I don’t think it matters. The level of detail is incredible, and the whole thing almost begs for an extended cut, or at least some perspective. Carousel at Stink Digital.

Movie Trailer: Ninja Assassin
You might be able to guess from the trailer that Ninja Assassin was directed and produced by the same team that put together V For Vendetta. On that basis alone, I’d say this film has the potential to be an enjoyable, if ridiculously over-the-top martial arts romp, with little in the way of intellectual merit. […]

Top 10s: Webcomics
If you’re anything like me, you’ll have developed a healthy outer skin of cynicism during your time on this planet. By learning how to laugh at the utter ridiculousness of the universe at times, you will insulate yourself from the true horror of the fact that we’re all strapped to a chunk of watery dirt as it pirouettes around a honking great fireball flying through space and NOBODY – not the scientists, nor the philosophers, nor the Pope – can say for certain where we’re all headed, and why (if there even is a why).
So then, laughter! You can either choose the knuckle-chewing, wild-eyed laughter of the certifiably insane; or, like me, the quiet, knowing chuckle of the man who appreciates the occasional futility of the times we live in.
So don’t let the creeping suspicion that we are governed by an amoral, self-serving, shit-for-brains shower of bastards get you down! Laugh long, and laugh loud at this specially-prepared Top 10 of the finest web-based comics of all time. Each of them selected for their subtle blend of observational wit, irony and occasional graphic violence.

Say hello to the vegetarian spider!
Scientists in Central America have documented a species of jumping spider, dubbed Bagheera kiplingi which, unlike any of the other approximately 40,000 known species of spider in the world, has forsaken a diet of paralysed, liquified animals and embraced an almost exclusively plant-based repast. But fear not, salad-lovers. The leaping arachnid isn’t interested in your […]
