Funny Japanese Hidden Camera Show Video


This is a great video of pranks from a hidden camera television show. This show features pranks such as jumping out on people and rolling giant snowballs. It also features a really great way to encourage people to give up smoking, exploding cigarettes.

Liquid Assets Economy Email Joke

If you had purchased $1,000 of shares in Delta Airlines one year ago, you would have $49.00 today.

If you had purchased $1,000 of shares in AIG one year ago, you would have $33.00 today.

If you had purchased $1,000 of shares in Lehman Brothers one year ago, you would have $0.00 today.

But, if you had purchased $1,000 worth of beer one year ago, drank all the beer, then turned in the aluminum cans for recycling refund, you would have received $214.00.

Based on the above, the best current investment plan is to drink heavily & recycle. It is called the 401-Keg.

Oiligarchy Game


Oiligarchy Game
- Delicious, profitable, stinky oil! Let's get stupid rich, huh? Trash the environment, bribe the politicians and squish the little peoples. Don't feel rich enough? Then Drill, Baby, Drill!

Kick Flip Game


Kick Flip Game
- Use the direction keys to move round this platform style skate park. Perform jumps, flips, shov-its and grinds to score points within the time limit. This is obviously not as good as the Tony Hawks paid game but it is still a nice little time waster none the less.

VaDrum Meets Super Mario Bros Drum Video


This is the super drum version of the "Super Mario Bros" theme by Koji Kondo.

Thanks to David for sending this one over to me.

Star Wars An A Capella Tribute To John Williams By Corey Vidal


This video is great. This tune is a collection of theme tunes from John Williams. The soundtracks include Close Encounters of a Third Kind, Indiana Jones and the Raiders of the Lost Arc, Superman, ET The Extra Terrestrial, Jaws, Jurassic Park. All the words used in the video have a Star Wars. This is a very funny song and very well done.

TBA Game


TBA Game
- This great little puzzle game is all about timing. Press the space bar to move from one bucket to the next. Some buckets move, some change the direction of the ball and others just bounce the ball back out. Each level has a target time to try to beat. There are no lives in this game but the timer starts as soon as you enter a new level not at the start of each life.

Indestructo Tank Game


Indestructo Tank Game
- This tank game is slightly different to most. You are in control of an indestructable tank. Instead of trying to avoid the falling bombs and enemy vehicles you need to aim for them. You have a limited amount of fuel each level which is refreshed each new level. To complete the level you need to string together exp points by creating aerial combos. At the end of each level you can spend money to increase the number of enemy tanks and aircrafts.

Modern Candle Wicks Are a Marvel of Engineering Video


Did you realise modern candle wicks are a marvel of engineering? Ok so this video is a bit of a change from the normal videos I post. I just decided to post this one because I found it interesting in a geeky way. I learnt something new about candles and a new trick too. Sometimes I just have to indulge my geek side :)

Argent Burst Game


Argent Burst Game
- This game is very similar to the retro game Missile Command. You need to aim at the incoming attacks before they hit your base. You will need to aim at a point in front of the target you want to hit. It takes a while for your rocket to travel to its destination. Argent Burst is a nice take on a classic game.

Mind Bender Game


Mind Bender Game
- To complete each level you need to make your way over to the red triangle. The character in this game is able to use the telekinesis mind power to move boxes. Placing boxes in the correct location will mean that you can jump over obstacles and also protect your character from spiked floors.

Return of Wassup 2008 Video


It has been eight long years since the Wassup craze and things are a little different since the boys last said Wassup to each other. Even with the effects of a down economy, injuries, war and imminent change in the White House, the boys are still able to come together and stay true to what really matters.

Obama And McCain In Top Gov Video


Obama, Biden, McCain and Palin all hit the skies in tribute to the classic movie Top Gun. Who will be crowned the leader of the republic? Who will become the laughing stock of history? Who will be Top Gov? Enjoy the latest Supernews blockbuster entitled "Top Gov".

Worse Burglar Ever Caught On Security Camera Video


This guy really is stupid. Seeing him trying to steel from this liquor store is very funny. It is a wonder that he managed to get into the store at all. I like his attempts to escape the store.

Thanks to my sister for sending me this one.

15 Cool Ways To Tie Your Shoe Laces


15 Cool Ways Toi Tie Your Shoe Laces
- This site has 15 interesting ways to tie your shoe laces. Some of these designs look quite hard but fortunately there is a diagram to help. These designs look far better than the normal knots on most shoes.

October Site Update

Happy Halloween everybody. I felt it was time for a site update. I have made quite a few changes in the month of October. Hopefully the changes I have made will improve the website.

Add It Button
I have now added a button to the bottom of every post to add the post as a favourite on a number of other social book marking websites. It would really help the website if you could click this button if you like one of my posts. So far popular sites for sending traffic seem to be Reddit, Stumble Upon and Digg It.

Highfly Media
I have started adding to the Highfly Media website again. I have decided to use this site to host games and other forms of media not held on the main A Highfly In Space website. I have decided to host games on Highfly Media because some of the games I wished to place on Highfly In Space were too wide for the current site layout. With Highfly Media I have only got one sidebar so there is more room for content.

Highfly Walkthroughs
I have now added an extra website to contain all the walkthroughs that I create for online flash games. I have also decided to leave the existing walkthroughs on A Highfly In Space because some of these links are still generating a lot of traffic from external links and web searches. All my future walkthroughs will be placed onto Highfly Walkthroughs instead of A Highfly In Space.

E-Referrer
I have started using the e-referrer service to show where the incoming links are coming from. This seems to be a useful tool. It is showing me how people are getting to this site. I am quite surprised how many hits I am getting from Google.

200,000 Total Visitors
A Highfly In Space has now had over 200,000 total visitors. I am happy to have managed to get this many visitors to the site and a big thank you to all those people who have visited the site and helped get the site to this land mark.

Over the last month I have been updating the site on average at least once a day. Fortunately this has been fruitful in terms of the number of people visiting the site. I have seen the number of visitors more than treble. I am hoping over time the site will continue to grow both in content and visitors.

Future Developments
At the moment I am not sure how many more developments I will be doing with the sites other than continuing to post. One of my aims is to increase the number of referring links as this will increase traffic. I also aim to review previous posts to make sure the links still work. My focus is to make sure the search result posts are updated to make sure search results are valid.

Well hope the site update did not bore you too much. Now time to get back to posting links, movies and games…

How To Get The IT Department To Do Their Job Video


This video caught my eye because I work in IT. I decided it would be good to know what the public think and also be ready for any tricks to get my attention. If only working in I.T. was this easy. We cannot sit around all day reading Sci-Fi books… we have websites to update ;)
