RoundPic makes rectangles jealous

Have you seen those fancy avatars with the rounded edges, and wondered "why don't my avatars look that cool?" Well, RoundPic.com hopes to help by letting you round off the corners of any image in just a few seconds. No messing with Photoshop!

All you have to do is upload your favorite image (in either JPG, GIF, BMP or PNG file type) and RoundPic.com will round off those pesky edges. You can select which corners to round, the quality of the rounded image, the round size, background color for rounded corners, and even if you want it exported as a transparent PNG image. We should note, however, that RoundPic.com doesn't actually host the image file, you will be required to download the saved image when you finish.

So, there is only one question remaining that we should all ask ourselves: in a world with rounded corners, will other shapes get jealous?

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.
