New Joystiq Podcast #106

[via Joystiq]

“The most shocking thing about the episode is not the introduction of the Joystiq emergency hotline or our on-site report from BlizzCon. No, the most shocking thing is that we somehow avoid talking about how much we love Batman: Arkham Asylum for the full two hours. Spoiler alert: Very much.  Also, shaving is discussed in detail.”

PC Pro’s Top 10 Hard Disk Destruction Methods

Whether you need to permanently destroy your pron collection before your spouse finds out, or if you just want to see what happens when an electromagnet meets digital date, this article is for you.  PC Pro reviews the top 10 ways to destroy a hard disk drive.

“ Another solution inspired by electricity was far simpler: use a drill. While it may not have the physics kudos of an electromagnet, there’s no denying that drilling through a hard disk would be deeply satisfying – and a very efficient method for erasing your data.”

Johnny Rocketfingers is ’suppin

Johnny Rocketfingers, a game created by Cracked Animations‘ Ryan Khatam, takes you back to the point-and-click adventure genre, Leisure Suite Larry style.  By using three basic commands (look, speak, and action), you interact with objects around you to solve puzzles and walk through the well-written script.

Don’t let the simplicity of the game fool you – not only do you have to pick up and use the objects clearly thrown around the screen, but you have to know how and when to use them.  For example, before you can carry the cat, you have to find the fish.  To find the fish, you have to look in the dumpster.  There are no points awarded in the game, but if you do complete it, you will be rewarded with the completion of the storyline.

Get stuck?  You’re pretty much out of luck, unless you find one of the many walkthroughs available.  Oh, and there’s also Johnny Rocketfingers 2 available when you are done with this one!
