Political samples demonstrate just how different the parties really are. http://www.b3ta.com/links/Breaking_Down_The_Budget >> SPOOK TRAIN Official Trailer << "This is a kickstarter advert posing as a fake film trailer," explains Splattermation auteur leehardcastle. "Cheers to fellow b3tan Cyriak for the choon 'Something'." http://www.b3ta.com/links/SPOOK_TRAIN_Official_Trailer_HD >> Wind turbine maintenance << " I made this to commemorate the ERECTION of a massive turbine just a mile or so from my house," trills Black Moon. http://www.b3ta.com/links/Wind_turbine_maintenance ------------------------------------------------- : USVSTH3M BOLLOCKS The other project that's sort of B3taish * The Hivemind Experiment - Are you in tune or independent? We'll ask you a series of word associations to test whether you're an independent thinker or fully attuned to the human zeitgeist. http://games.usvsth3m.com/hivemind-experiment/ * Amateur Hacker Simulator - You are a hacker and you must break into the War Room. Luckily, it's secured with the 100 most ridiculously commonly-used passwords - how many can you guess? http://games.usvsth3m.com/amateur-hacker-simulator/ * Which 8-bit Computer Are You? - Spectrum, C64, BBC or Amstrad? http://games.usvsth3m.com/which-8-bit-computer-are-you/ ------------------------------------------------- : SITES IN BRIEF Stuff we like that wasn't made by our mates >> 2048 game << Use your arrow keys to move the tiles. When two tiles with the same number touch, they merge into one. It's not Numberwang but it's still good. http://gabrielecirulli.github.io/2048/ >> Jane and Peter learn some new words << Spoof of the Learning-to-Read books that were inflicted on us when we were little - but updated and rather warped. http://imgur.com/gallery/9lkFz And the sequel: http://imgur.com/gallery/3HIpZ >> 'Chat' magazine' top tips << Collected onto a single page. Full of insanity and a weird obsession with sanitary towels. >> Horribly-designed products << Designer Katerina Kamprani creates deliberately useless object. Our favourite? That ridiculous fork on a chain. http://www.tickld.com/pic/t/704875 >> World "leaders" as drag queens << We didn't put leaders in inverted commas as a satirical statement, it's just Osama Bin Laden is one of the famous men made over as a drag queen in this clever, Gilliamesque animation. http://www.sainthoax.com/wdyo.html ------------------------------------------------- : VIDEO SCHMIDEO Like telly but not shit. Mostly. * What Seinfeld's mind would be like If he went mad. * Website model involuntarily dances. Is this secretly a viral ad for a US clothing company? Charming nevertheless. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=q8C_u7D6Lp4 * Furby talking to Siri. Imagine if Siri really is interpreting that correctly. *Chills* https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=18UmoIu8lII * Amusing Yorkshire dub of Rebecca Black's Friday. Sure, it's a bit of an old meme to be riffing off but that doesn't make this any less funny. http://www.b3ta.com/links/1148013/ ------------------------------------------------- : B3TA IMAGE CHALLENGE Results from the Interesting TV Challenge Last week we wanted you to make TV more interesting.

It's a very good question, and one we'd like you to answer via the medium of this week's image challenge. http://www.b3ta.com/challenge/the-deep/ ------------------------------------------------- THANKS: This issue was written by Rob Manuel with David Stevenson. Stuff sent in by colmcq2, Pissflaps, moon monkey, Uncle Albert, BaronMunchausen, The Tramp Surveyor, and Mastarbeiter. Image challenge by Fraser Lewry. Mike Trinder is QOTW bloke. ------------------------------------------------- TOP TIP: Avoid having to use the phrase, "It's always in the last place you look..." by continuing to search for something long after you have actually found it.
