A lot of flash games are simple puzzlers, and that is fine. One of the main reasons for their existence after all is brief worktime gratification, a mild diversion rather than an immersive gaming experience. Today’s game is very much that, yes it has various levels and degrees of ...

You are probably still running around in you fancy pants after yesterday, so lets try something a little less frenetic and more cerebral. Ideal for waking up on a SUnday morning before contemplating fighting your way through traffic to get your holiday gifts.
So what on earth is this?

I’m not very good at writing about pubs – my excuse is that I tend to care a hundred times more about the company than the place. Nonetheless, this was a regular haunt of mine for many years before I even moved to London. For no particular reason that I know about, it became the ...

At Poptimism last night we held the draw for the 2010 Pop World Cup. If you’re playing, and would like to know who you’ll be managing, details are below! The names – where I don’t know you already – are drawn from the original thread.

Sometimes I feel that I am the only one who likes the Chandos – a large Sam Smiths pub near Charing Cross station where the downstairs always feels kind of old and stuck in time, and the upstairs like a velvet throne of luxury and depraved decadence in comparison! Upstairs, I have ...

Its a Friday. So let’s try something
a) A bit more involving
b) doesn’t have a cat in it.
So who is this fella?
Yes its the FANCY PANTS ADVENTURES
It’s a platformer, sketchily drawn. You play as a little dude with spiky hair and some bright baggy pants, who runs ...

Open today’s window and click through to discover that the old addage that the internet is run by cat lovers is very very true. After yesterday cannoning a poor kitty through the sky (surely a CATapult would have been smarter) there is something a bit more cerebral today. A simple online ...

French unpasturised soft cow’s milk cheese, bought from Une Normande à Londres
We have a quarter of a squat round wheel of this cheese. It’s smooth and fluffy white on the outside, and softly ...

Well, I gave it a shot. But this is formally announcing that my tracks of the decade list was one project too far, so I’m discontinuing these write-ups. While I think some of the posts were good, and I enjoyed doing them all, I didn’t have the commitment I have for Popular and I ...

Since you are still probably playing Souvlaki Tetris, a mere diversement for today’s advent Calendar. This was sent in by our cheese correspondent Marna and its topic surprised me somewhat knowing her likes. Nevertheless, much like many flash games, there is a degree of physics involved ...

#573, 12th July 1986, video “Papa Don’t Preach” is a fantastic record. Not because it’s a star getting serious, or because it raises issues, or because it ‘tackles’ anything in particular. It’s not a newspaper column. What it does is take a situation ...

Well I must have been onto something in my last audition roundup because Roland Muldoon has echoed my observation that today’s young comedians eschew, by and large, political or social commentary. Muldoon – the guy who ran the Empire for 20 years and who still does the New Act of ...

This year the Freaky Trigger Advent Calendar is of free online games, for you to waste you time with as you wait for Christmas. From classics to unsung specials, there will be a teaser on this page and a link through on the next.
So to start on the 1st December. What game features these ...

For any fans of old horror monsters and/or the stylings of Roy Thomas, here’s a three pager I originally wrote for the horror issue of Solar Wind , that finally found a home in Duke Etrange’s World Of Weird . Art by Brian Coyle.

What exactly are good times, according to Chic? The lyrics refer to jitterbugging being involved, but it’s hard to believe many people on the dancefloor actually jitterbug to it (past tense of jitterbug: jatterbug?). The jitterbug isn’t a hard dance but its hand-round-the-waist 50s ...

It’s almost exactly six months since I posted the first of these cheesy writeups, and cheese # 50 is coming up later this week. Either of these things would be a good excuse for a celebration. Both together most definitely are! Clearly, the way to celebrate having eaten FIFTY cheeses is ...

There’s a song on the radio, a catchy ear-worm of a song, and it’s been on the radio a lot now that you mention it. It drags you in, “now listen to my words” it commands. How might you react?

You’d think that “Wanna Be Startin Somethin” would be the ideal way to open a movie about Michael Jackson. In This Is It , though — a movie patched together from four or five rehearsals for the 50-concert extravaganza which famously never took place — Jackson just ...

Having worked around Covent Garden from the middle of 2002 I’d walked past the Newton Arms loads of times (not least on the way to Parker Place where the original Club FreakyTrigger was held) , but always thought it looked a bit, y’know, Local. It looks like an Estate Pub without ...

Saw New Moon tonight. Survived the emoness of the film, though was disappointed by the halfhearted emo-ness of the soundtrack. Yes Death Cab For Cutie, yes Lykke Li, and how you managed to get proto-emo Thom Yorke on the soundtrack I don’t know. But what they really wanted was a thematic ...
