Coffee Shops
A majority of council members in Maastricht wants to keep coffee shops open, reports news service ANP.
Of the 39 council members, 21 are in favour of keeping coffee shops open and building more of them on the city outskirts. They say that spreading out the establishments is the most effective way of dealing with any nuisance caused, says ANP.
Labour MP Lea Bouwmeester is asking justice minister for permission for Maastricht to carry out its plans. Venlo moved its coffee shops to the edge of town five years ago and it has been a success, she told ANP.

Stars Who Got the Video Game Treatment
Stars Who Got the Video Game Treatment
Some were massive hits, others were enormous flops. But each of these celebrities should be just as proud as the next to have had their own video game made (and played). You can watch yourself on TV or in theaters as much as you want, but does it get any cooler than guiding your own virtual self around a screen for hours on end? Not that we'd know, but just sayin'.
Playboy founder Hugh Hefner (centre) arrives at Stansted Airport on June 2, 2011 in Stansted, England. The photograph is a recreation of a picture originally taken in the 1960's, with ten of the new London Bunnies. Mr Hefner is back in the UK to mark the launch of the new Playboy Club in Mayfair, which opens on June 4. The clubs opening will welcome back the iconic Playboy Bunny to Londonafter a 30 year absence. Famous Bunnies have included Debbie Harry and Lauren Hutton. (June, 2011 - Photo by Dan Kitwood/Getty Images Europe) Remember the GameCube? Yeah, we barely do either. But before there was the Wii, there was the GameCube, where atrociously amazing games like Mary-Kate and Ashley Sweet 16: Licensed To Drive thrived. And by thrived, we of course mean no one bought them. And then the twins sued game developer Acclaim for "abandoning" the franchise. That's not very sweet! Tim Allen While younger generations might only know Tim Allen as the voice of Buzz Lightyear, those who lived through the 90s will always know him as Tim the Toolman Taylor from Home Improvement. The atrociously bad SNES video game (also named Home Improvement) sees a virtual Tim take on dinosaurs and other non-sensical bad guys. Yeah, don't ask. Michael Jackson Michael Jackson probably loved games more than most people on this list. So it makes sense that he had a had in creating Michael Jackson's Moonwalker, a game that follows MJ on a quest to save kidnapped children from the hands of an evil "Mr. Big." Since his death, original copies of the game have been sold on eBay for as much as $14,000! No, that wasn't a typo. Shaq Big Shaq Diesel was more than believable as a genie in Kazaam, so it made perfect sense that he was turned into a kung-fu master in his video game Shaq Fu. Ok, we take all that back. Especially the part about him being believable in Kazaam. But he's just so damn loveable, we feel inclined to support whatever the big man does. Britney Spears In her prime, Britney Spears could dance like it was her job. Oh, right. It was her job... and she made millions of dollars doing it. But no matter how rich she got, she wasn't able to make Britney's Dance Beat -- where you try prove your skills as one of the pop star's backup dancers -- into anything even remotely enjoyable. Jackie Chan We don't mean this to sound degrading, but Jackie Chan reminds us of a child -- he's constantly giddy and doing wild things like getting slimed on stage at the Kid's Choice Awards. So really, it only makes sense that in his SNES video game, you run around killing frogs and drop kicking tigers, rather than actually killing people or ninjas, or anything badass. |
In Wu Tang: Shaolin Style you get to play as rappers RZA, Method Man and Ghost Face Killah. The goal: kick as much ass as possible while wielding sledge hammers, samurai swords and other deadly objects. Oscar winners and ninja warriors? Who knew!
In 50 Cent: Bulletproof you get to live the life of the main man himself, who has made millions upon millions of dollars selling vitamin water and reminding people over and over that he was shot. It's like Grand Theft Auto, just with worse graffics, boring storylines and a soundtrack that would upset your mother.
Wayne Gretzky
His coaching career didn't go over so well, but Wayne Gretzky is still arguably the best hockey player to ever put on a pair of skates, so who really cares? Plus, his video game, Wayne Gretzky's 3D Hockey is considered a cult classic by many a Nintendo 64 fanboy (or girl -- but probably mostly boys).
When you're considered by most to be the greatest NBA player of all time, it would only make sense that someone would want to make a video game about you. Right? While Space Jam was amazing in every way possible, Michael Jordan: Chaos in the Windy City was just downright unplayable. As amusing as it was to watch MJ fight zombies and light basketballs on fire, the game was absolutely awful.
Tiger Woods
Before Tiger Woods' infidelities led him into his current state of opprobrium, he was loved throughout the world for being one of the best golfers to ever play the game. Part of the reason why the guy is STILL the richest athlete in the world is due to the amazing success of his video game franchise, Tiger Woods PGA Tour, which first hit stores back in 1998.
Tony Hawk
Tony Hawk is widely considered one of the greatest vert skateboarders to ever live. So it only made sense that the world's most popular skateboarding game would be named after him. Tony Hawk's Pro Skater was originally released in 1999 and is considered one of the most revolutionary video games of all time.

Hot Spot of the Day: Gibson Amphitheater, Los Angeles - MTV Movie Awards

The annual movie award extravaganza is known for its ridiculous moments, like when Sean William Scott wore underwear with Justin Timberlake's face plastered on it. Or when Sacha Baron Cohen made out with Will Ferrell after receving their Best Kiss award in 2007. And last night was was no different, as Mila Kunis and JT groped each other, R-Patz threw out an uncensored F-Bomb, and Steve-o proclaimed to the world that he wanted Donald Trump inside of him.
These moments, coupled with a crop of star attendees like Justin Bieber, Kristen Stewart and Jim Carrey, officially made the Gibson Amphitheater the hottest place on earth last night. Originally an outdoor venue, it was remodeled in 1982 to become an indoor theater, allowing for better acoustics. The venue is found in the midst of Universal Studios CityWalk, which -- if you haven't been -- is a great place to buy overpriced movie tickets and/or visit one of the last remaining Hard Rock Cafes.
Assuming you weren't able to score seats to the MTV Movie Awards, the least you can do is enjoy these pictures of all the stars having a ball at the Gibson Amphitheater.
But first, a better picture of the venue in relation to the rest of Los Angeles. As you can see, it's northeast of Beverly Hills, just off the 101 Freeway.
And now, what you really came for, pictures of The Biebs in a sharp blue suit. He could probably do without those earrings. But you be the judge.

Robert Pattinson pretty much won every award he was nominated for, which makes total sense seeing as the golden popcorn is given out based on fan voting, and he's uh, sort of popular.

Kristen Stewart appeared to want to kiss her Twilight co-star when the two went up to accept their third straight win in the Best Kiss category. But the Brit wasn't feeling it.

Harry Potter actor Tom Felton (he's Draco) won the award for Best Villain. In his gracious acceptance speech, he thanked the fans and said that the golden popcorn would look great in his downstairs toilet. Yep, he said that.

Jim Carrey took the stage wearing an all green suit that had film footage
splashed across it for audiences at home to view.
Unfortunately for the live audience, he just looked funky.
But at home, he looked awesome.

Reese Witherspoon received the Generation Award, which honored her career in film. But from the MTV producers' standpoint, it looked like yet another excuse to throw Robert Pattinson on stage. Though they probably didn't expect him to blurt out an F-Bomb.

This Chorme version of the game, can be played on any web browser as I said in my previous article. But for this trick to work, you will need the Google Chrome. So download Google Chrome and later go to the Chrome web store. There download and install the Angy birds game.
And after loading the game, type the piece of javascript code below, in the chrome address bar.
javascript: var i = 0; while (i<=69) { localStorage.setItem('level_star_'+i,'3'); i++; } window.location.reload();

As you can see above, with this simple java script code we can unlock all the 70 levels If you ever need to revert the game to it's original state, don't worry. There is another code to do so. Just type the below code in the address bar again.
That's all. Now you can enjoy all the 70 levels of the game. Don't forget to leave a comment below. |
