kill me

Help the disillusioned superhero 'Invincible Man', who has grown tired of his special ability to resurrect upon death. The building that guards his only cure (a drink that kills him forever) is protected with many dangerous sharp and pointy objects.

Instructions Use the arrowkeys and the spacebar to reach the exit. Each screen represents a new level, gradually getting tougher and tougher, until Invincible Man can finally grab his cure and experience the sweet relief of death. Press escape if you want to pause, restart or if you are stuck and want to see a walkthrough.

Halo Movie

At the Future of Television East conference last week, Microsoft's Frank O'Connor sat on a panel that focused on the grail of transmedia.

Halo's franchise development director is a shortish, stocky guy who looks like a feisty boxer. And he's proud bordering on arrogant about the lauded series of games that sold so many Xboxes. "We want to have Halo on any screen we have access to," said O'Connor. That would be the height of ubiquity indeed.

After the panel, a high level network executive came up up to O'Connor and said, "We want to do something with Halo."

O'Connor shot back, "Bring piles of money."

The executive, taken aback, responded, "For Halo, we will."

Moments later, I spoke with O'Connor in a lounge area, fashioned for the event by conference producers outside NYU's new Stern school of business auditorium.

Home Alone vs Die Hard

Sorry, Alan Rickman. You're no Wet Bandit.

Home Alone was made in 1990 by John Hughes, who also made 'Ferris Bueller's Day Off' and 'The Breakfast Club'
It is the highest-grossing live action comedy of all time.
'Home Alone' is also chock-full of important life lessons for kids:
