When I checked this morning, Deputised Experts was at 111th on the TopWebComics list with 47 votes in and a dozen click throughs. I need to reach the mid 50s to hit the top 100 and start getting positive feedback. Please do your bit and click through to vote for me. You could also go over to the Onlinecomics listing and up the hit count from there.

And you can show your support in other ways. Pop over to the shop where there’s a bundle of cool shit. Or click through to Amazon and get that book/CD/DVD/cuddly toy you wanted.

Or you could just give me �1 a month by subscription-

You know it makes sense.

Consider it a shopping list

The nine most violent video games on the market.

MANHUNT- PC, PS2, XBox

GRAND THEFT AUTO: VICE CITY- PC, PS2

THE GETAWAY- PS2

HITMAN 2: SILENT ASSASSIN- PS2– XBox– PC

SOLDIER OF FORTUNE II: DOUBLE HELIX- PC, XBox

MAX PAYNE 2: FALL OF MAX PAYNE- PC, PS2, XBox

ROADKILL- PS2

HOOLIGANS: STORM OVER EUROPE- PC

POSTAL 2: APOCALYPSE WEEKEND- PC

I wouldn’t argue that these games shouldn’t be sold- Vice City is brilliant and the original Max Payne was good, if a little linear- but I detect a screwed up double standard when Amazon UK will sell these but refuses to stock House of Bush, House of Saud.

I'm the man who sold you the Yo-Yo

It’s time to challenge myself again, and pump up the Amazon referals whilst I’m at it. In the spirit of previous song-lyrics-as-post-titles weeks, it’s cultural-references-in-posts week, with links to the book/ album/ whatever at the end of the post. I’ve been doing it in about a quarter of my posts recently anyway, I just have to pump up the linking.

Damn Statistics

I should be doing coursework, but got distracted by Amazon statistics.

The most clicked through item is Another Education and Ruby Red, my own print-on-demand tome, which has generated one order. You can get it direct as an Acrobat file for pennies if you want to assess the literary merit before doling out too much cash.

Second is Bring It On by Gomez, an excellent album.

Third- Northern Soul Memories Vol. 1, which I haven’t listened to in ages. Must dig it out.

Fourth- Hello Rockview/ Losing Streak by Less Than Jake.

Fifth- Dead Ringer by Meatloaf

Best selling of all my referals is Dude, Where’s My Country?

In the period I’m looking at 41 items have been ordered and only 37 dispatched. Obviously I now have to print out both lists and find out where the discrepancy lies.

Thank you for the music, the songs I'm singing

Just for silliness, and inspired by yesterday’s TMBG episodes, I’m declaring this a song titles and lyrics in post headers weekend (all the way through to Monday). Lyrics will be acknowledged and, where possible, a link to a relevant amazon page provided.

This one Abba

Toto (you don’t remember them? Here are a few of their albums on Amazon) have had to post a rebuttal of a statement on their website which said that one of their members wouldn’t be on the summer tour because he was having a sex change. It seems the music press has a hard time recognising a joke, even a blatantly obvious one. (Insert “Which would explain [band of choice].” here)
