SLACKERJACK! Falling Sand Game

by Mof Gimmers

Most online games are incredibly easy to work out as they’re based on things you’ve already played. There’s beat ‘em ups, shoot ‘em ups, sports games, puzzle games… and the list goes on and on. However, sometimes, you’ll find an online game that’s absolutely mystifying. A type of game that just doesn’t exist anywhere else [...]

SLACKERJACK! Gibbets 2

by Mof Gimmers

It must be quite tricky coming up with ideas for new games. There’s so many of them knocking around that there can’t be much in the way of new ideas. So when originality isn’t an option, go for something weird. And Gibbets 2, while being the archetypal Aim And Shoot game of angles, there’s something [...]

Raoul Moat: The Musical

by Mof Gimmers

When Raoul Moat went AWOL with a big gun and no-brain, Britain became transfixed. The news was too weird and too horrible to properly contemplate. Here, we had a man who had been so let down by the world that he decided to live like a feral creature in a drain, stroking weaponry and wanting [...]

SLACKERJACK! – Turbo Turbo Turbo

by Mof Gimmers

There’s a lot of retro-games out there which look to recreate the experience of old arcade machines and 8bit consoles. However, what most of these modern takes fail to remember is that many of the old games were utterly baffling and filled with badly translated English. Sometimes, you could persist in playing an old game [...]

SLACKERJACK! Wine Pong

by Mof Gimmers

Puzzle and logistics games are usually very dry affairs. Think of Columns and Tetris. They were functional and hugely addictive. Puzzle Bobble/Bust-a-Move meanwhile, livened things up with little dragons that puked up into your slingshot. Continuing in this fashion – sorta – is Wine Pong, which takes a very simple game and tarts it up [...]

SLACKERJACK! Bloxorz

by Mof Gimmers

Skiving in the office is not to be underestimated. There’s a million ways of doing it. Offering to make the entire office cups of tea every 10 minutes is a good way of doing no work. Prolonged toilet breaks, with the addition of clutching your stomach when you leave the traps, to imply that it [...]

SLACKERJACK: Miami Shark

by Mof Gimmers

Humans are vermin. They burn tyres for fun; drive cars around that pump out evil plumes that choke small woodland creatures until they cry themselves extinct; they puke crude oil into the sea which probably killed The Little Mermaid and Spongebob Squarepants. And now, nature wants some revenge.

SLACKERJACK – Paradox Embrace

by Mof Gimmers

A lot of online games are brief point and click things, designed to either make you laugh or be addictive like Tetris. Very few games do either and rarely aim higher. However, sometimes, some spotty arsed programmer type really puts his (it’s invariably a ‘him’) back into it and tries to make something a bit smarter than a crappy puzzle game and goes for a full-on platform romp. Welcome to Paradox Embrace.

SLACKERJACK – Fig.8

by Mof Gimmers

A lot of online games are pretty crass and designed to strip every glistening bit of your eyeball clean out of the socket. However, occasionally one comes along that is so lovely and classy that you wonder why you ever bothered playing X-treme Eczema Sailor Attack! And so, step forward the achingly lovely Fig.8.

Jane Fonda Does Broadway, Sadly Not For Monster-In-Law Revival

by Stuart Heritage

When an actor does a Broadway play, it’s either because they want to further their craft or because they can’t get movie work any more.

With that in mind, Jane Fonda – the woman last seen smugly screaming about how old she was on an advert for overpriced skin cream – has just agreed to do a Broadway play. We hear she’s going to further that craft like the son of a bitch it is.

The good news is that Jane Fonda has decided to star in 33 Variations, a play about a woman studying a waltz that Beethoven also studied. The bad news is that Jane Fonda isn’t starring in a belated stage adaptation of Barbarella because, what with Equus doing so well, it would have provided a nice overflow play for theatregoers interested in enduring a barrage of stomach-churningly inappropriate nudity.
