I’ve been trying to learn a bit of Actionscript / Flash over the last few weeks. It’s still early days, but I think I’m slowly picking it up. I kinda bodged my way through The Ricky Gervais Stress Reliever tm the other week, so I thought it was time to have a crack at something a bit different.
On Sunday, I set myself a little challenge:
Produce a very simple Flash game in under two hours.
So with nothing else remotely of interest to post at the moment, here’s the result for all to sneer at and mock: The Touch Type Tester.
Be warned though: For the above reason, the following game isn’t pretty. It’s also a bit crap, so you have been warned…

This may come as a huge bombshell, but the following Transformers movie post doesn’t contain any pictures of dung. That’s right, no shit.
I can hardly believe it either and I’m going to hate myself for saying this, but: I actually quite enjoyed watching Transformers. *blush*
To sum it up, Tranformers is a totally ridiculous film. There are plot holes a mile wide, there’s obligatory Hollywood cheese and you basically need the mental agility of a cauliflower to watch it. The amount of blatant product placement also rivals the last James Bond flick. For me, the first two thirds of the film worked far better than the final ‘act’.
But… that said, it’s really good fun to watch. Just leave your brain by the ticket machine and pick it up again on the way out. The CGI effects are top notch, there’s quite a few funny moments and it of course helps that Megan Fox is schmokin’ hot.
Surely that’s the essence of a good summer blockbuster then?
8/10.
Speaking of Megan Fox, I couldn’t help but Google her (not that I was looking for nudie pictures or anything)… what on Earth is with the fookin’ awful tattoo of Marilyn Monroe on her arm? I’m quite heartbroken. She’s not quite so schmokin’ hot now, eh. :-(
