Tired of hearing how the economy is in ruins? Bored of listening to the old biddy in the greengrocer exclaim how much cheaper a pound of carrots were back in her day? Maybe its time to have some fun with cash instead. Crack out the crayons and biros, it's time for action!

Thanks Trudi

Arrrrrr, me hearties! Sharpen your cutlasses, and sup up your rations of rum, we’re off to the high seas in search of treasure! There will be battles with skeleton armies and giant crabs, but it’ll be worth it to get our hands on that fabulous booty*.

*No, nothing to do with Beyonce, sorry

I'm back! Crikey it's cold out there.

I've been playing Pig Dog and I thought I should share... it's probably the first flying-dog pig-collecting strategy game on the internet, and it's got a cool soundtrack, so whack yer headphones on before you play.

My high score is on the right, although it probably won't be there for long. I dare you to beat me. In the game.

The interweb may well be rich resource of useful information, investment opportunities, and plenty of other iteresting and important things, but it's not without its childish nonsense.

Take for example the latest game to find its way onto the Funjunkie research team's computer. No sign of Mario wandering around collecting stars, no stealthy undercover operations in dangerous war zones, not even a fast car to be seen, just plain old puzzles which you have to fart your way around.

If you can think of a better reason to skive off work, I don't want to know about it.

Japanese Bug Fights posted by Reg on 17/06/2008 at 16:13 GMT (link)

Gladiators… ready! Contenders… ready!

Oh errr, hang on Ref, that’s not Jet, it looks more like a dung beetle to me. In fact, it is a dung beetle, and that’s a preying mantis in the blue corner. Hang on. This isn’t Gladiators at all, this is Japanese Bug Fights. My mistake.

Thanks Xavier

Funjunkie Friday Game posted by Reg on 06/06/2008 at 11:35 GMT (link)

OK, so a game where you throw something as far as you can is hardly original, or new, or big, or clever, and we’ve all played a thousand different variations. This Funjunkie Friday Game hasn’t made any drastic changes to the formula. However, it’s worthy of not merely for its name: Snotput. Good, eh? It's surely worth a few seconds of your time on that basis alone.

Time is running out... posted by Taz on 03/06/2008 at 11:53 GMT (link)

Less than two weeks to go to get signed up for this year's Summer Burn, so don't put it off anymore, get it done now.

Remember, once you've filled in the signup form you still have to send us a confirmation postcard otherwise you won't be taking part. So make sure you get on it as soon as possible or you risk missing out, and that will make you unhappy and you'll spend the whole Summer with a gloomy look on your face. You wouldn't want that now would you?

Would you send your kids? posted by Taz on 03/06/2008 at 11:32 GMT (link)

Reg's recent post reminded me of a business logo that must have bypassed the focus groups at the planning stage. Would you send your kids to Training Connect?

Thanks Kat, who sent this to us a-a-a-ages ago.

Photoshop Disasters posted by Reg on 02/06/2008 at 10:59 GMT (link)

Missing navels? Extra Hands?? Has one of our secret experiments from the FJ dungeons escaped???

No! It’s just another case of Photoshop disasters! I know it’s hard to believe, but not everyone is as skilled as Taz at image manipulation.

Thanks to Richie for the link, and to Letraset for the loan of the extra question marks.

Robokill posted by Reg on 28/05/2008 at 16:07 GMT (link)

This email just in to FJ HQ: If you don't already, you need to know about this game. Best online shooter for a good while. Don't you just love it when other people do your work for you?

And what's better, it's true! Robokill really is the best online shooter for a good while! You get the whole first four missions free, and then you have to pay for the rest. We liked it so much we smashed the FJ piggy bank! Unfortunately, there were only a few buttons and a bit of fluff at the bottom... so we didn't get to play the rest of the game.

If you buy it, let us know, and we'll come round your house, nick your compuder for ages, leave the toilet seat up and eat everything in your fridge. Even that jar of pickled stuff that's been knocking around at the back for ages.

Cheers 10 Ninjas Steve

Viking Friday!! posted by Reg on 23/05/2008 at 10:52 GMT (link)

It's Viking Friday here at FJ Towers, and we're all running around in and horned helmets, waving our axes around (which is no change from any common or garden Friday really). We should be readying our longboats for the weekly raid on the biscuit factory, but they're going to have to wait. We're currently too busy driving into balls at high speed. C'est la vie.

Another date for your diary posted by Reg on 20/05/2008 at 12:23 GMT (link)

Team FJ have been attending the Raleigh Chopper at Billing for many years now. We haven’t even got any Choppers of our own*, but that doesn’t stop us joining in the fun; there’s plenty more on offer than just bikes from the 70s. The event always ends up with bicycles reclaiming the streets, flaming bike races and lots and lots of booze.

So if you fancy a spot of camping**, want to join in the Mixtie bike building competition, or just like knocking around on bikes, whether they're Choppers or not, its all go for the weekend of May 31st – June 1st. There’s even the National Street Rod show on in the next field, which isn’t to be confused with the other NRSA. That probably wouldn’t be quite as exciting.

*Especially Becca G, if you know what I mean
**oo-errr Matron!

Funjunkie Friday Game II posted by BeccaG on 16/05/2008 at 23:50 GMT (link)

Ok......summer is nearly here and I've pulled my finger out of my butt and have emerged from hibernation.

It look's like I'm not the only one.

After such a long long snooze I have woken up hungry, which was the inspiration for finding this jolly little caper.... now go 'Steal Me Some Mango's' people.

Funjunkie Friday Game I posted by Taz on 16/05/2008 at 11:24 GMT (link)

It's Friday again, and I think you'll all agree that it's about time we at Funjunkie Towers got off our sorry arses and started posting some Funjunkie Friday Games.

You'd be right to agree with eachother too, because it's always best to follow the herd... be a Sheep... hell, be a bloody Lemming if you want, see if I care!

Actually I do care, we all do here on Funjunkie, which is why we're giving you something to do today, and what a job you've got on your hands! This is quite frankly, one of the best flash games we've played over the last... ooh, I'd say about 3 minutes. Fantastic stuff!

Chronotron. Get on it!

Psychonauts posted by Reg on 12/05/2008 at 16:13 GMT (link)

Doesn't this sound like an entry from Taz's diary?

This morning, went down to the horrific dungeons of dementia, battled with scary monsters by unleashing my paranormal powers, got back in time for barbecue on the verandah.

Suprisingly, it's not. It's actually from a game called Psychonauts! Who would have guessed? The two worlds of FJ Towers and Psychonauts seems to be interchangeable.

Now you can experience what it's like being in FJ Towers, or near enough, by downloading the entire original PC version of Psychonauts absolutely free. It's a whopping great download, but it's a terrific game, and it gets the FJ seal of approval. Yes, we have played it, actually.

Clunker Classic 2008 posted by Reg on 12/05/2008 at 11:07 GMT (link)

Here at FJ Towers, we're quite found of chucking ourselves down dangerous hills on inappropriate bikes while half-cut on homemade sloe gin. So we were very pleased when an email from our contact in the bike underworld popped in to the FJ mailbox this morning confirming that this year's Clunker Classic bike race is set for Saturday 5th July.

Obviously, chucking yourself down dangerous hills on inappropriate bikes while half-cut on homemade sloe gin is a pretty stupid thing to do*, but that's also why, here at FJ Towers, we throughly condone such activities.**

*We have the scars to prove it
**But have nothing to do with the organisation of the event, so don't sue us

Summer Burn '08 posted by Taz on 06/05/2008 at 09:17 GMT (link)

If you haven't already clocked the banner at the top of the page, you're either incredibly unobservant or you're still hungover from last night, in which case you're probably struggling to read this anyway.

So it's the Summer Burn again, and this time it's going to be even better than last year, which is of course what we say every year, and quite frankly, is always true!

Sign-ups have opened here, and as usual we ask you to tell all your friends and anyone you randomly bump into in the street.

DeathGob T-shirt & Badge birthday giveaway posted by Reg on 21/04/2008 at 14:44 GMT (link)

DeathGob, the purveyors of fine clothing and John Craven based products, are two years old. To celebrate their birthday, they're eating a lot of jelly and ice cream. They're also, which may be of more interest to you, giving away free t-shirts and badges.

All you have to do is leave a comment on a picture. Sounds easy? It is. The picture in question, plus all the details you need to know are here.

The ideal decanter posted by Reg on 15/04/2008 at 11:44 GMT (link)

We decided it was time to have a spring clean at FJ Towers over the weekend, it being spring and all, and we rediscovered some ace stuff up in the battlements that we hadn't seen for ages.

The best thing we found was the Squirrel Decanter that was given to us by Arch Bishop Desmond Tutu after we rescued him from a particularly viscious wombat attack. There was an extra bonus too, it still had a couple of drops of Magnetic Rum swilling around in the bottom. Nice.

Thanks Bowner
