Videogames in Tokyo, Japan

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.

“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.

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.

“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 -
