Check out unbiased deals with Tjoos

Everyone wants the best price possible when buying goods and services, and with so many shopping comparison sites online we are sure to get goods that are priced to our satisfaction. But are they really showing us all the deals out there?

Services like MySimon, Bizrate and NexTag aside, Tjoos does not play favorites to stores that only have affiliate programs where these sites earn a commission by referring visits. Some of these comparison shopping websites may indeed not show lower priced merchandise in favor of only showing goods that are part of affiliate programs.

Users are still shown good deals, however, not all the good deals that might be available in the marketplace. For instance, a search on Bizrate for a 'Canon digital camera' brought up affiliate results for stores such as eBay and Dell among others (mouse over product links to see affiliate URL paths). Tjoos scans the web and searches out the best deals, volume discount options, coupons and discounts from all over, comparing the actual prices and not just the advertised prices. The website is still a work in progress with contact lenses the only item listed under products. However, the coupons section is jam packed with online retailers listed in alphabetical order and offering such deals as 15% at Adobe, Unlimited DVD rentals at Blockbuster, $30 off at CompUSA, 10 free songs at Napster and 40% off shoes at Zappos.com.

If it's an unbiased deal you are after, Tjoos is a site you should add to your list of discount hunting locations.

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.
