fbCal - Freeing Facebook Finally!

fbCalEver notice that there's a missing feature on Facebook? Ok, it's not the ability to be able to add 5.001 friends. Get over it, nobody can have that many friends.

The real feature that's missing is an event calendar! Sure, we know whose birthday it is every day when we log in, and sure we know when the next event is because we get 83 emails reminding us, but where's the event calendar???

Well, fbCal solves that all. With a simple install of the Facebook app, it creates feeds that you can pull into iCal, Google Calendar, Sunbird or Outlook. In TWO separate feeds, too. One for birthdays and one for events. External access to events is something a lot of people have been waiting for.

Never again can you forget to get your best friend a birthday icon from the Facebook store for her 35th birthday that she's really upset about and wants to spend it alone on Facebook the whole night. Don't ask.

You can either download a file and import, or subscribe to the feed and it will sync like the wind. Like a very fast technological wind. Whatever that means.

This was built by a gent named Robert M. Baldwin, and we salute you!

Forumwarz - a potentially offensive time waster

I pwn UAfter spending the better part of an hour on Forumwarz I still can't decide if it's just sick or if it's kind of fun. It's a bit like a car wreck on the highway. I know I shouldn't be looking but I can't quite turn away.

It's sick, it's twisted, it's the internet on it's worst level and darn it, it's kind of fun. At least for a little while.

Forumwarz is a parody role-playing game that takes place on the internet - or at least the Forumwarz version of it. Your goal is to complete missions that are given to you through a mock up of GoogleTalk called Sentrillion.

Your first "friend" is ShallowEsophagus who begins giving you missions to pwn various forums by being a troll. Depending on the character type you are assigned at start up, you have tools like drooling on the keyboard or bashing your head on the keyboard that you can use to destroy forum threads and eventually, pwn a forum.

Future missions involve buying illegal software from the Russians, pwning more difficult forums and other internet oddness.

Completing missions gives you cash, called Flezz in game, and items that you can pawn or use in other missions. The game is NOT for those easily offended. It's crass, coarse and there are frequent f-bombs in the fake chat sessions.

This is also a game for a more mature audience as it requires you to shop at the Drugs R Fun store to get various concoctions to improve your playing, engage in certain cyber activities to get more Flezz and just generally use a more adult perspective.

If you can get past that, here are the more enjoyable and time-wasting aspects.
