we love the web email us go to messageboard newsletter archive home NEWSLETTER: ISSUE 73: "MONKEYS, NOT KITTENS" next issue » « previous issue This Week: * ANIM - Monkey Song from Rathergood * COMPETITION - Weebl selects a lady * TOY - Design your own Rizlas ------------------------------------------------- ________ ____ __ ___ ____/ _)|_ // /_/ _ | ___/ _ |/_ > Rainbow Fuck Orgy << This X-rated MP3 is a heavily edited version of UK children's favourite Rainbow. "It involved an episode of Rainbow where they did exercise", writes b3ta regular Vulga, "I made it a bit ruder." http://www.youareallcunts.com/users/vulga/rainbow2... >> Mr Stabby goes to the shops << Regulars will be familiar with the not-often-enough series from Weebl and Joel Veitch, Mr Stabby. This time he's going shopping. Can you guess what happens next? http://www.weebls-stuff.com/flash/shops.html >> Michael Jackson Nose Quiz << Jacko has had many different noses in his long career. See if you can spot them all in Artamnesia's quiz. http://www.modestypanel.com/mjackson/ >> Rock Paper Scissors ... Nukes << K3rry has been working on a version of the playground classic Rock Paper Scissors. His version cheats a bit but still raises a couple of laughs. http://www.marshallsoftware.co.nz/b3ta/rpstripper >> Make a man dance << Carl Baldwin is most famous for making the famous Argie handbag picture that did the rounds a few months ago. His latest thing is an interactive dancing man using photos of his mate. It's very nicely posed. http://www.carlbaldwin.co.uk/glendance/ >> Shout at the kitty << Crikey! This is really innovative. Make noises into your microphone and Mr Fancyteeth's kitten will jump about. We'd love to see what other b3ta people could do with a microphone interface. How about a racing game where you make "brum brum" noises? http://www.mantlepies.com/kittygraph.html ------------------------------------------------- : SITES IN BRIEF Stuff we like that wasn't made by our mates. >> Upgrade your feet << Ever wanted to bounce like a kangaroo? The PowerSkip straps onto your feet and gives you really long bouncy legs. Watch the videos. You'll be amazed. http://www.powerskip.de/photogallery.html >> Transgressive Elf-based comic << Elftor is an angry right-wing pixie who lives in a comic strip. This episode sees him dealing with racism and laundry. Have a poke around: there are some really good ones in the archives. http://elftor.com/elftor.php >> Penis Reading << Did you know that you can tell a lot about a man from the shape of his willy? A bent one is an "air penis" and indicates an artistic temperament. Or so it says here. What type of cock are you? http://www.backdoor.com/thenumber/penis1.html >> Hang out with sperm << A chatroom without the chat, but with a great big egg. You are represented by a sperm with your name on it. And so is everyone else who visits the page. We found it fun to email our friends and get as many as possible on at the same time. It's a nice feeling to see lots of friendly sperms. http://www.frozenman.com/ >> One man and his hair << JL is a Finnish chap who over the last five years has been growing his hair. He's been photographing the progress and experimenting with strange lady styles. Slightly icky. http://sivut.koti.soon.fi/plaque/hair/gallery/ >> PC Crash Simulator << Here's a neat thing. Send this to your mates or stick it on a colleague's computer and it'll look as if something has gone very wrong indeed. http://fun.tmc.dyn.ee/reboot.html >> Saab Sauna << There's a bit of a trend for odd modifications on the net. The latest we've seen involves turning a Saab car into a sauna. Looks good. (We can't wait for the future when we can link to people genetically engineering elephants into house pets.) http://snurl.com/n8e ------------------------------------------------- : B3TA IMAGE CHALLENGE Results from the Movie Challenge Each week we run a competition to test your creative skills. We set a challenge and you open Photoshop and mess with our heads. Last week we wanted "The Cutting Room Floor: Deleted Scenes From The Movies." http://www.b3ta.com/challenge/movie/ We asked B3ta boarder Rogan to judge the entries - here are his 3 faves. Rogan writes - #1 "Han and Greedo: There were hundreds of Star Wars posts, but this one felt more authentic than most. I love Han's expression. (Whoremonger) http://www.b3ta.com/board/699110 #2 "Citizen Kane: Most of Orson Welles' work with powerpoint was butchered by studio executives, we must treasure the little that remains. (0% Interest) http://www.b3ta.com/board/696897 #3 "Saturday Night Fever: Every single thing in this picture clashes, and yet it looks so right! (Flash_Bastard) http://www.b3ta.com/board/689755 >> This Week's Challenge << This week, B3ta contributor Bovine gave us the suggestion, "Extinct! What was it and where did it go?" http://b3ta.com/challenge/extinct/ ------------------------------------------------- : WHAT HAPPENED NEXT? Follow-ups on previous stories. * B3TA BOARDER IN THE NEWS - Manic recently attended an anti-war protest in London, and his photoshopped image of Tony Blair reached many of the national papers. http://makeashorterlink.com/ ------------------------------------------------- : STAR IN NEXT WEEK'S ISSUE Make something cool and tell us about it. If you are in it then people will see your stuff. Things we'd really like to see include: * NEW GAMES CONTROLLED BY MICROPHONES. Yeah we know a lot of people can't play them but there's something really exciting about this novel interface. * PRESS CLIPPINGS MENTIONING B3TA STUFF. We rely on you to tell us if you see any of our work in the papers. We buzz off getting scans we can stick in the 'Great Book of b3ta.' We can't show the grandkids a load of broken URLs you know. * FREEBIES. We like getting free stuff in the mail. Last week we were sent a DVD of Lemon Jelly's 'Nice Weather for Ducks' It's actually rather fantastic. Send contributions to http://www.b3ta.com/mailus/ BTW: If you've sent something in that hasn't been featured then don't be put off - we look at everything you send us. ------------------------------------------------- Subscribe: [email protected] Unsubscribe: [email protected] ------------------------------------------------- THANKS: This issue was edited by Rob Manuel with David Stevenson.
