Top Ten Video Games

Following hot on the heels of the Top Ten Simpsons Songs comes the Top Ten Video Games. I've probably forgotten some excellent ones, but here y'are

1. The Legend of Zelda - A Link to the Past
2. Super Mario 3
3. Grim Fandango
4. The Legend of Zelda - Ocarina of Time
5. F-Zero
6. The Curse of Monkey Island
7. The Sims
8. Theme Hospital
9. Dungeon Keeper
10. Chrono Trigger

Edit: Okay, so maybe I should have put a little more thought into this. I had forgotten about Driver, the Grand Theft Auto series, those cool arcade shooty games (Yes Duck Hunt, and I quite liked Virtua Cop when that was out), Tetris, Harvest Moon, one of the Sonics (I forget which), Lylat Wars and probably lots more.
No first person shooters would get in my top ten, I don't like them because it's like wearing blinkers and the movement is weird, and no fighting games (remember when they were calledd beat-em-ups?) either, cos they're all the same button-mashing tedium. At least when I'm playing anyway

New Yetisports game!

Not part of the Yetisports decathlon, but still, another game featuring penguins and a giant fluffy white thing.

Another Top Ten

My top ten favourite songs from The Simpsons. Maybe I missed a good'un, but this is how it stands at the moment:

1. The Monorail Song
2. See My Vest
3. We Do
4. Who Needs The Kwik-E-Mart?
5. Flaming Moe's
6. Senor Burns
7. Glove Slap
8. The Spring In Springfield
9. When The Saints Go Over There
10. When I Was Seventeen

Why don't they do cool songs on The Simpsons any more? They're sadly missed.

I can do that but I don't wanna…

Remember those T-mobile adverts with the bloke with the football? Have a look at this video of him doing his thing.
