Chatroulette: The Drinkening

Chatroulette

Completely unrelated to the usual Secret Still fodder, and possibly the best idea I have ever come up with while taking a middle of the night, half asleep piss, is today’s only post: The Chatroulette Drinking Game. It’s easy to play, fun for the whole family, if your family likes random dongs, and it’ll get ya drunk.

Let’s start by clarifying some basic points:

  • The game is played with both beer and shots, where “a drink” refers to a big ol’ mouthful of beer, and “a shot” refers to a shot of whatever liquor you have laying around.
  • A roll is deemed as actual, visual contact with another person (or possibly cat/monster), not a blank screen, a covered cam, or an empty room.
  • Try not to force your friends to look at wangs for longer than necessary, unless that’s just how you roll, you sadistic bastard.
  • It’s probably better not to waste time actually interacting with people during game play. That’s only going to slow down the drunkmaking.

Now the rules:

  • Every player gets 10 rolls (not necessarily ten clicks of “next”, see above).
  • Random guys are neutral and count for nothing
  • Random boners mean you (the roller) take a drink, but no one else has to.
  • Random girls mean everyone else has to take a drink, but you don’t
  • Random naughty girl parts mean everyone, even you, takes a shot.
  • Random cats/monsters mean everyone else, not you, takes a shot.

Note that these rules aren’t based on any merit system derived from favoring girl parts over boy parts, but rather from the average rarity of each item in the Chatroulette community. Chances are good that you could go an entire round (everyone has their 10 rolls) without taking a single drink, but chances are equally good that you could all be shitfaced before the third person can remember where the F9 key is.

Good luck out there, and I’m sorry you’re going to have to see so much unadulterated dudecrotch, but at least the alcohol will numb the pain.

Candy Issue 11

Candy 11
Remember way back in the day, when I would post about every new issue of Candy that came out in all it’s PDF glory? No, neither did I, until this morning when I was reminded by the internet of Candy’s greatness. They’ve just dropped their 11th issue, the aptly titled For All Intents and Purposes issue. There’s no reason for you to even read this, really. Life is for the living, so get over there and let your eye’s and neurons live. There’re great interviews with Philip Toledano, Chris Doyle, Jen Stark, Alex Trochut, Kim Holtermand, Chris Ro, Makeitwork, Hvass & Hanibal, Matt W. Moore, Alex Gross, Samantha ZaZa, and Kiersten Essenpreis. And then there are the issues that I haven’t told you about since the last issue that I told you about. Ambiguous knowledge!

I’m pretty picky about what I add to the blogroll over there to the left. Really the list is for me, because I hate RSS feeds, so that I can check all of those sites listed everyday. Yes, everyday. So it takes a lot for me to add a site. I have to decide that, “yeah, I could read that everyday.” Today sees a new addition to the list in the name of Leslie Miles. Is Leslie Miles a person? I don’t know. The only thing I know about Leslie Miles is that it’s the name of a blog that features a series of beautiful images based on a single theme for each post. It’s simple, elegant, visually interesting, and inspiring. I can’t ask for more than that from any website. Welcome to the family, Leslie Miles; expect at least one hit a day from over this way.

Will Scobie Site Update

Will Scobie
Just a quick note that Secret Still BFF Will Scobie has recently redone his website. Will’s new digs are simple and slick, kind of like his work. Well his work is slick anyway; I wouldn’t ever say it’s simple. Give his new internet homestead a look-see.

Firefox 3

Firefox 3
The long awaited (at least by me) day has finally arrived! Hell yes I am using that exclamation point, because Firefox 3 is finally upon us. All Opera, Safari, and *shudder* IE users take notice: your browser are belong to us. You no longer need to suffer behind the working of a web browser that thinks pop-ups are candy. You can have a browser that integrates thousands of handy plug-ins created by its vast open source community. Get your shit together and download Firefox 3 today. Don’t sleep on this. If you download today you can help them try to set the world record for downloads in a single day. A great browser and a place in history. Your life will probably never mean more than that.

Read At Work

Read At Work
I’m a web designer/programmer by trade (Please don’t judge me based on this website. Please.), and so it’s odd that I don’t post about more innovative web design here. The truth is, I’m picky. I’m pretty loose about a lot of the other creative fields, but in my own I’ve got a very selective eye. I know good design when I see it, but I don’t celebrate it. I celebrate great design; the kind that boggles my mind in ways I didn’t know it could be boggled. Surprisingly it’s a new website for the New Zealand Book Council that shook me up this morning. The Read at Work website mimics a Windows XP desktop, but each of the folders on the desktop contain books to read set up as faux Powerpoint presentations. The desktop idea has been done a couple of times in the past, but the design behind the Powerpoint presentations is really genius. I just literally cannot explain how perfect that shit is. I also like the idea behind the site: to read at work without getting caught. It fosters a love of reading, while at the same time turning it into something mischievous, something to “get away with.” And on top of that the selection of books they’ve incorporated into the site are great. In a field where innovation is severely limited by technology, clients, time, and talent, it makes me a little misty to see that there are still great works to be done. Damn fine job.

The Life Cycle of a Blog Post


This post, as soon as I click publish, gets scanned, picked over, and virtually raped by several different web services. WIRED has a nice info-graphic explaining each facet of the internet bad touch we all suffer from when we blog. I’m not egotistical enough to think that I necessarily garner this level of attention, but we all get a fair amount of it.
