Ever wondered what Mr. T would look like without his beard and mohawk? Well, wonder no more: ironicsans.com now presents The Mr. T Virtual Playset.

Planarity

Planarity“Arrange the vertices such that no edges overlap.” Some people would argue that the best games have the shortest instructions (or sometimes none at all). I just posted a link to Planarity over at Bo-ko. If you have a brain and you like to use it, this is a really entertaining way to kill time. I wish there was a way to save the session and come back where you left the game the next time, a bit like “Lemmings” used to give a password at the end of every level, so that you can come back to it another day and not have to re-do the first levels. (Although that would be impossible to keep track of the score the way he does it now. mmm…)

P.S.: Got to level 10 before I gave up.

World of Warcraft Coke commercial

If you like World of Warcraft and cute asian girls, and cheesy commercials, you will love this World of Warcraft Coke commercial from China.

Update:

via WorldOfWarcraft.com
World of Warcraft recently launched with amazing fanfare and success in China. Partnering with Blizzard to usher in this blockbuster launch was iCoke, Coca-Cola’s name-brand presence in China. In the weeks leading up to and after the launch, iCoke led the way in promoting World of Warcraft, celebrating the game in real-life replicas of Stormwind Castle and Thunder Bluff, creating a joint World of Warcraft and Coca-Cola televised commercial featuring Chinese pop sensation SHE, and unveiling an iCoke-branded World of Warcraft site. The site is in Chinese, but even if you can’t read it, it’s well worth checking out.

World of Warcraft completely down

World of Warcraft“Apache Tomcat/5.0.27 - Error report”
World of Warcraft is down. At least the European/French server I connect to. And their website is down too. Well, everything is down it seems. I can’t connect with the game (which is to be played online so no other option here really), and the website says this:

HTTP Status 500 -
