You will be taken to a wonderful little game called, ironically,
:The Game:
Aside from the unnecesarily violent (And completely Skippable!!) intro for the website that produced the game, this game is pretty much okay across violence.
It is a comedy game, and it supposed to make you laugh. It's a social commentary based around throwing yourself off of a grassy platform.
Pretty much no matter what the situation is, just throw yourself off of the grassy platform to receive your prize. It there are any other rules, the game will let you know.
I try to say very little about it so that I don't ruin the jokes, but some of the stinging social commentary is really funny. Especially
"Shooting Lawyers in the Face: The Game"
And
"Censorship: The Game"
If you don't find it funny, then, I'm sorry.
If you do, then, you're welcome.
My personal score for it is:
8.5 out of 10.
Oh, and watch our for the Pac-Man part. It can scare small children...or grown children. It will at least make you jump. (The game came out around halloween, so it's to be expected.)
See you next time!!

SeeqPod
A new website fell into my lap since my new ownership of an iPod Touch. It's called Seeqpod.
Its a simple-to-use playlist creator that puts Project Playlist to shame. The interface is clean, well designed, sleek, and freaking SWEET.
I am incredibly impressed at the site's ability to play your playlist WHILE it is being constructed. Project Playlist (PP) does not have this functionality. It seems small, but I really enjoy it.
I am also impressed at the RANGE of selections. You can find related Songs, Videos, Playlists, and more from a single search. Even with such a broad search pattern, it still outperforms PP in the place where it counts for most people: Songs. Seeq finds MULTIPLE COPIES (20-30, or at the rarest I've searched for, 2-3.) of songs that PP will tell you don't exist. I have only searched for 1 song that didn't come up on project playlist, but the band was so obscure I was pleasantly surprised that it had them at all.
Seeq also has a feature called "Discover" which allows you to search for artists who are similar are related to your favorites, and expand your horizons. You can also do both Search and Discover at the same time.
I discovered Seeqpod only about a week ago, and I've been tinkering with it nonstop. Its simply FUN to use. It doesn't feel technical at all, and it handles smoothly even on a junky computer like mine. The site is also optimized for iPods/iPhones, so you can listen to it there as well.
The only downside to the ipod/phone version is that wi-fi connection is neccesary to listen, and the songs can't be downloaded from there. This is a minor annoyance, but it DOES make me want to purchase albums. (It has inspired me to pick one or two up already, and possibly one movie.)
Signing up for Seeqpod is unbeleivably easy. You click Sign-up in the top right corner, a small bubble opens on the SAME PAGE, thus not draining too much speed. You input the information, tells you how you're doing and about availability as you type, and then you hit Finish and you're done and signed in INSTANTLY. And all the while, your partially constructed playlist still plays.
Did I mention that membership is NOT required to build and embed a playlist? I'm not sure about Saving yet, but judging by my previous experience, you can probably do that, too. \
There are multiple embedding options, and both are viewable in my profile. Try them out, see which one you like.
I have encountered one bug, which has only happened twice and with the same song both times. Seeq will sometimes play your song over again before it finishes, and without bothering to stop the first one. In effect, you have two copies of the same song going at the same time. It is a minor annoyance, but if you pause the song on your playlist and wait for the clone to finish, everything works fine from then on.
Another Bug, perhaps just on my computer, but the Embedded Playlist doesn't seem to want to play your songs very badly. Dissapointign since it works so beautifully on the website itself. I'm going to verify this before I mark seeq down too much.
(EDIT: I've tested both embedding options. The smaller version without the visible track select works MUCH BETTER.)
Seeqpod gets high honors from me today. Being a Near Perfect system, I give Seeqpod
9/10
SHORT AND SWEET:
Ups: Super slick interface, super easy to use, fun, never stops the music
Downs: Some extremely minor bugging, less options for iPods/Phones
Summary: Try it, Use it, Love it

TA DAH!!!
Well, I've further joined the Bloggin' community by actually creating a somewhat normal Blog. Of course, being the kind of person I am, Expect to see reviews of things in this Blog as well. In fact, my first real entry WILL be a review. Thanks for reading!
