Mini-Review: Sumotori (Sumo Wrestling Game)

ready.png
Jan-S posted about this little game earlier today: https://www.donation...dex.php?topic=8227.0.  After downloading it and trying it out, and laughing so hard that I cried, I had to let you all know what its all about.

This is a tiny little game (86kb!!!!!) that "simulates" sumo wrestling.  All you do is try to shove your opponent down.

The trick is that your wrestler moves like it has had way to much to drink.  Most rounds consist of running into your opponent, pushing once or twice, and laughing maniacally as one or both loose their balance and crash to the mat.  The first wrestler to contact the ground with something other than their feet loses.  After the round, the wrestlers try to stand up with comic results as they stumble around and fall into the walls surrounding the ring.

I haven't laughed so hard in ages.  My wife of two years told me that she has never heard me laugh as hard as I did when I first started playing.  I'm sure it will get old eventually (though the two player will probably extend that), but for the laughs and the fact that it is so tiny, I have to give this full marks: 5 out of 5.  :Thmbsup:

It won at BreakPoint 2007 (whatever that is): http://breakpoint.un...rgrund.net/after.php


GPS Software?

blog clipart
I've been playing with the idea of purchasing a cheap gps receiver from ebay that I can hook up to our laptop, since that would be a cheaper solution than having to buy a PDA with gps included,... But then I was wondering what software is out there that I can use, that will tell me where to go while driving? (like those announcer voice things that till you 'make a right here'); i was also wondering if there are any free/open source alternatives out there.

I know that I can use stuff like xastir or google earth to show my location on a map, but that won't include the announcing or the automatic route recalculations etc,... maybe there are google earth plugins for this?

I'd like to know about any GPS software you've used (especially the freeware/donationware/opensource alternatives).

BookmarkBridge - CrossPlatform Browser Bookmark Synchronizer (opensource and free)

Bookmark Bridge (http://bookmarkbridg...forge.net/index.html)

Quote from its website:
"BookmarkBridge is a small, easy to use, multi-platform, GUI-based utility that allows the user to share bookmarks between all their browsers. The user runs it periodically to synchronize between the browsers."

It's absolutely free and open source. It's supposedly still a beta version, but I haven't run into any problems using it. It hasn't been updated too often lately too, but the latest version seems to work ok with the most recent browsers.
I'm using it for a three-way sync between Opera, Firefox and IE/Maxthon.
I hope you'll like it too.
