Go on, join in, but don't post and run, hang around and chat a bit else the regulars get arsey. http://b3ta.com/links/ ------------------------------------------------- : SITES IN BRIEF Stuff we like that wasn't made by our mates * RUSSIAN ROULETTE GAME - Delay Tactics writes, ""RussianRoulette.io is an addictive and surprisingly strategic browser based multiplayer Russian Roulette game that sees you gambling with your life to earn cash." http://www.russianroulette.io/ * TOY CAR RESTORATION VIDEOS - why is this newsletter late? We've just realised there's videos of people restoring Matchbox toy cars on YouTube and it's the most mellow thing ever, so satisfying seeing a crappy old toy being lovingly returned to almost new. Seriously. This stuff is therapy. It's like that bit in Toy Story 2 where the toy restorer fixes Woody. Perfection. And we've literally spent all weekend watching this stuff. https://www.youtube.com/watch * HACKING STORY - There's something appealing about little bots stepping into save each other from this story of mid 1970s computing. https://www.cs.utah.edu/~elb/folklore/xerox.txt * IAN CURTIS RIDES A ROLLERCOASTER - old but gold funny, who can resist this gag? http://b3ta.com/links/1496803 * THE BEST BAD TRANSLATION MENU YOU'LL EVER READ - cheese with cheese please and a side order of thickness knits. https://pbs.twimg.com/media/DlYjucqX0AAWBV4.jpg * BADGERS VS DOCTOR WHO - "Remember that #Badgers song?", tweets @reverend61a, "The one by Jonti Picking, also known as @TheWeebl? According to a questionable internet source, it's 15 years old. And thus I've marked the occasion by marrying it with an obvious #DoctorWho story. Hail Pertwee!" https://youtu.be/BgG9a1ATVrM ------------------------------------------------- I asked my friend why she was dating a homeless man who looked like Elvis. She replied: "I'm courting a tramp, I can't walk out" (Smash Monkey) https://www.b3ta.com/questions/imsorryivewrittenaj... ------------------------------------------------- : STAR IN NEXT WEEK'S ISSUE Some cheap ideas to get you inspired * SCHOOL BULLY BOT - randomly reply to people called Annie and ask if they're ok? Tell people called Andy that they "kissed the girls and made them cry" * ALEXA FUCK UPS - There needs to be compilation of all the artist names that Alexa gets slightly wrong. Apparently we're currently listening to Eight Hundred And Eight State. * AN OFF SWITCH FOR CHILDREN - ok this was a Douglas Adams joke but blimey he had a point didn't he?
