Roll up! Roll up!

Kinect is out today!

deKay — Wed, 10 Nov 2010 12:59:52 +0000

Remember folks, if you’re getting Kinect today, don’t forget you need a warehouse to play it in, otherwise this might happen!

Of course, this could be easily solved – just like Nintendo did with the Wii – by encasing the controllers in protective silicone.

Great Scott!

Dell online sales chat

deKay — Wed, 14 Jul 2010 11:54:10 +0000

I was trying to navigate round the Dell website today to find information on, then spec up, a particular model of PC. At every turn, on every page load, and every time I let go of the mouse for 7 seconds, this appeared:

I kept clicking “No Thanks”, but a page change or reload and it was back. This annoyed me a bit. Well, a lot. So I decided to chat with them.

Here’s the transcript (with the “Dell Expert”‘s name replaced). They were an expert indeed.

I am pleased that the Dell Zino can run imovie, and amazed that different colour computers are, as is the way with cars, different speeds! Amazing.

Oh yes, and the best bit was when, during the chat, this happened:

(Oh, and for those of you feeling sorry for the Dell Expert, I gave him/her a glowing customer satisfaction report.)

Not just the horses…

Filthy strimming

Saw this on a box for a Worx strimmer today. No, I have no idea what it means.

Did you ever think how life would be after you rescued the princess?

Old Masters, in 3D!

It’s a viral video for some new Samsung 3D TVs. But it’s very well done:

Got crabs?

Rhian’s mum has had a fall

deKay — Fri, 12 Jun 2009 10:15:57 +0000

What should she do?

Found this video on a British Heart Foundation “emergency life support skills” DVD. Is it wrong that the (added, obviously) punchline is the first thing I thought of when I watched it?

Childish things to do in Animal Crossing

deKay — Fri, 29 May 2009 20:40:38 +0000

Nintendo have gotten wise to naughty Animal Crossing players trying to change the town residents’ catchphrases to rude words. Unfortunately, this gives rise to something equally humourous:

Of course you can’t enter it. That sort of thing isn’t allowed in Nintendoland!

However, although “anus” isn’t an allowed word, something else is:

Magic toner

deKay — Tue, 03 Feb 2009 12:56:45 +0000

A student came and asked me:

“My teacher said she needs a pink and blue toner for her printer”
“Pink and blue? Together?”
“Yes”
“Spots or stripes?”
“I don’t know – should I go and ask?”

Idiots on Look East

No, not the news readers, although they qualify anyway. No – I spotted this on the lunchtime news today:

System Administration for Girlies (SAG):

You can download it here! (Windows only, probably needs VB6 runtime libraries).

And other slightly modified Mortal Kombat phrases…

It’s not about that sort of mouse

deKay — Fri, 07 Nov 2008 19:56:02 +0000

A video of a mouse skydiving. OK, so it’s actually an advert for some new Microsoft computer mouse, but it’s still a mouse. Skydiving.

That’s Asda Price! Again!

deKay — Mon, 22 Sep 2008 19:44:44 +0000

More AMAZING bargain spottage in Asda this evening.¬¨‚Ä† First, this fantastic buy-two-for-a-pound offer:

That’s right!¬¨‚Ä† You can buy one, or buy two for exactly twice the price! Staggering value, I’m sure you’ll agree.¬¨‚Ä† However, it’s not as special as this multibuy bargain:

If you don’t get it, you’re lucky
