Ever wanted to play salon? Now is your chance! You can play the newest type of these games called Don’t mess with the Zohan Super Spa!

What I find this game unique is the fact that you don’t have the same time management issues you do in most of these types of games. Instead of running around like a chicken without a head, you actually interact per station. For example, you put the person into the drying station and then you actually dry their hair. You don’t just watch a timer go on until they are finished. Of course, this gets frustrating if you find you cannot complete a task. For example, I could NEVER do the face masking. No matter how many times I tried, I always missed a spot!

So far, I have found this game to be the most entertaining of this series. I find that kinda strange, since the game is clearly just a marketing plug for the movie! Meh, who cares, the game is fun as hell! Two thumbs up!

Addictinggames.com has posted a great new flash shooter called Pop Pirates.  This is a top-down shooter controlled by your mouse where you invade a computer system to retrieve your music file.  The score is kept in kilobytes, which is cute. Whenever you kill an enemy, a file is left behind which you can pick up.  After a few seconds, the file starts to lose size, so pick them up quickly.

The upgrades that you get are pretty cool.  I like the anti-virus balls that spin around you.  If they hit your enemy they do damage.  You also get a nice chomping mouth which seeks on enemies.  These upgrades build up as long as you don’t die and are very useful.

The high scores are pretty tough to reach, and the game looks great.  I highly recommend it if you like shooters.

Note: It seems that the videocard I had is defective. I am going to edit this post according and write up a new review after using the adapter for a couple of days.

I absolutely love the concept of a external videocard. Never the need to open your computer again and install that dual head video card. Expand to three monitors on a laptop! The possbilities are endless, except if you have the DisplayLink USB Display Adapter! First of all, the branding for this product stinks!

NOTE: I am told by the development company that this is because they don’t actually brand their product. They sell the ship and other companies brand it. Branding should be better, but that is neither here or there…

I got the unit second hand off of my co-worker and he had lost the drivers for it. It took me several hours to find the drivers because the only thing the unit says is USB Display Adapter. It never says displaylink! I found the drivers by comparing the picture from stores selling the product. Eventually I was like, OMG THAT IS MINE! I download the drivers and everything works well. I am thrilled! Then things start to go south….

Day 0: Excitement!

I just installed the product and it works great! I have had no issues so far!

Day 1: Blue banding

I now see blue streak while doing dos scripting. I don’t mind..its just dos! The blue kinda makes it more fun!

Day 2: Blue takeover

All pictures are now tainted with blue on it. Meh, who cares! I mostly read text from the second monitor anyways. I can live with that.

Day 3: Random pixels

Hmmm it seems I am getting random graphics errors on the display now. That’s weird.

Day 4: Denial

I can make this work! I mean, the pixel errors are getting worse but its ok! I can do it!

Day 5: Project failed

At this point, the second monitor is completely unusable. I have tried to do everything I can think of to get this to work. I tried updating the drivers, uninstall and reinstall, unplug the device from the base stand, unplug the device from the tower. I even read the FAQ for the device and it doesn’t even mention ANY of the problems I am having…

As it turns out, after writing this post, displaylink had contacted me directly and informed me that my adapter is defective and they sent me a new one for free. I am sending back the old one today. The tech support for this company rocks and so far the replacement unit has been working great. After a couple of days, I’ll post up a new review.
