     ; Hello all
          I hope everyone hated the single-sidebar, advert
          loaded version of the site.
          If you didn't entirely hate it, that's because my
          plan backfired, and I actually ended up making a site
          that wasn't entirely as awful as I imagined it was
          going to be, even with adverts all over it.
          
          Dang!
          
          Maybe next year I'll just upload the ghastly RGB
          multicoloured monstrosity?
          
     Sidenote
          £1.61 woot! Thanks for the 6 ad-clicks, folks!
          
     Currently Awake At...
          Woke up at 4:30, been messing about on YouTube for an
          hour (results later) and figured I might as well do
          the newsletter before I start getting tired again.
          
     In the Workshop     
          .. um.. .. nuts..
     socoder.net/?topic=1924

     In the Shoutbox..
          Shouting! Mostly about the theme.
     
     In the Mudchat
          Wisdom Teeth
          PAX
          Memory Haxoring
          Java
          and the dreaded MAV!!
     Join in, it's occasionally fun!          

     And, in the Poll
          4 people voted for Gay Porn!!
          Apologies that the javascript popups didn't actually
          work when clicked on, guess my security's too tight
          to even let ME do things like that!!

     ; DNA vs Linux
          I had enough issues getting my USB Ethernet devices
          (3 of 'em!) working with Windows 7, before finally
          giving up and buying a router.
          DNA's having Wireless issues in Ubuntu!
     socoder.net/?topic=1931

     ; Throwing it all Away
          We've all had projects that have gone horribly wrong,
          but what's the thing you've worked on for longest
          before you've had to scrap it?
     socoder.net/?topic=1932
          
     ; Win7, Does it matter which?
          JProfitt's about to buy Win7, but does it really
          matter if he doesn't get the "Pro" one?
     socoder.net/?topic=1934
     
     ; April Fools!!
          There's a couple of Google related links here, but
          what were your favourites from this year's sillyness?
     socoder.net/?topic=1937
     
     ; Blitz on iPod?
          Mark's apparently looking to expand the number of
          devices that BlitzMax can compile to.
          Sounds like a plan!
     socoder.net/?topic=1938
     
     ; IEAnnoying
          Steve's having issues with IE being fussy.
          As per usual!

     ; The Monty Hall Problem (Phoenix)
          A nice simple puzzle with a very very complicated
          solution, puzzling folk for 35 years!          
          Lesson #1
          The trick is in the first bit, not the second..
     socoder.net/?link=22541
     
     ; Moscow Attacks (Afr0)
          Lesson #2
          Women can blow things up!
     socoder.net/?link=22566
     
     ; Afr0Games purchased for "160$ Million" (Afr0)
          If you can't spot that as an April Fool, a further
          read of the press release might help!
          Lesson #3
          Basic = Variable$
          Money (and PHP) = $Variable

The Chunky bit
with Games in it!
-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-

     It's starting to look better, but I still had to do all
     these tables by hand.
     Maybe next week I'll make it a little easier for myself!

; Blockman in a Mario Costume (Jayenkai)
     Guide Blockman through the maze, round up the all his
     blocklet friends, and get them all home safely.
     It's the fantastic return of the classic Blockman
     gameplay style!

>> Moshboy's "Missed" Games
>> -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-

     4 games from SlumLord27/Moshboy!
     Sounds like a Codemaster's Boxset..
     
     Quatro Moshboy!
     
     Gotta Play 'em All!
     
     
; #30 - The Expelations of The Little Green Pod Man
     A fantastic experimental game, with some really great
     gameplay ideas. Looks really odd, but works well.

; #31 - Pandoras Gearbox
     Repeat!!
     This was in the CWF section, last week!
     If you still haven't played it, maybe this video
     will help you..
www.youtube.com/watch?v=Rifoe6h178o



; #32 - Space Intruders
     Like a recolourd version of Nintendo's Sheriff game,
     where you run inside a swarm of baddies, and have to
     try to kill them all..
www.youtube.com/watch?v=FRo8aQTGeRY



; #33 - Revenge of the Robot Cats from Mars
     A lovely looking Galaga clone.
     I'm a sucker for Galaga clones!
     I recently tried replaying Space Hawks from the
     Amstrad, but I REALLY suck at it, nowadays!!

; P-Lox Lite
     A fast paced underground Pang game, with nice chunky
     sprites, all at a low enough resolution to make it
     all the more prettier!
bit.ly/PPGames_P-Lox



     
; Ranger (*Foppy*)
     A single player Cannon Fodder style game. Try to get
     your player through the maze without getting him
     killed in the process.
bit.ly/PPGames_Ranger



; Blackfoot
     An RPG Platformer about a weasel! Has a nice classic
     style that reminds me more of GameboyColor games than
     anything else. Which is odd!
bit.ly/PPGames_Blackfoot



; Artisan
     Fantastic looking platformer, with well animated main
     character. Reminds me of Prince of Persia!
     Lovely water effects on the wall, a catchy tune, and
     even 3 or 4 different characters.
     This is the game to play.

; Ultimate Stunts
     An opensource remake of the classic Stunts game,

     Yeay!

     ; Blitz3D, They always return! (Mog)
          Mog's having another play with Blitz3D.
          He's playing with his lovely big garden again!
          Great screenshot, can't wait for the Demo.
     socoder.net/?blogs=22565

     ; JNKPlat2010
          Nice "HD!" screenshots of the WIP JNKPlat game.
          Mmmm..

DBF Compo!
-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-

     ; DBF's "Liquid" Compo
          Is this still going? Blimey!
          Hop on over, make a "demo" that does something with
          liquids, and get some prizes for doing it.
          That's what it's all about!
     bit.ly/DBF_4642
     
     ; Upcoming 2Bees Compo
          They were meant to have had a massive site overhaul
          this week, but doesn't look like that's happening,
          yet. If their compo Deadline gets shifted, too, I'm
          going to be well ticked off.
          I hate that!!
          RAWR! RANT!!
          STOMP STOMP STOMP!!
