Funny News: Poker king Hachem wins in Vegas

December 20, 2006: Poker king Hachem wins in Vegas

Aaustralian poker king Joe Hachem has pocketed nearly $3 million after winning the world's second biggest poker tournament. His victory at the Bellagio Hotel Casino in Las Vegas, earned him US$2.2 million ($2.8 million), reports The Australian newspaper.

He's very emotional, very humble and over the moon, brother Tony Hachem said.

The 39-year-old from Melbourne shocked the poker world last year by winning the main event of the World Series of Poker, pocketing $10 million.

He's a true-blue Aussie and everyone wants to take him on, his brother said.

But he's beaten the best players in America, some of whom have playing the game for 40 years.

He will play in the $US10 million Poker Stars Caribbean Adventure in the Bahamas next week before returning for the Australian World Series at Melbourne's Crown casino.

Review: Diddy Kong Racing (Nintendo) FunnyGames, February 27, 2007
...Diddy Kong Racing is all about using miniature go-karts, stunt planes and inner-tube hovercraft to win races and defeat a giant space-pig (your life is now enhanced with this knowledge). If someone gave the Muppet Babies some Power Wheels cars, you would pretty much have Diddy Kong Racing...

...Remember when you got Mario Kart 64 and played the hell out of it, then you checked out Diddy Kong Racing because Mario Kart was so old? But you and your friends would still rather play Mario Kart 64 any day of the week? That's the same feeling you'll get with Diddy Kong Racing DS. It's great filler if you need a change of scenery, but still a distant second behind Mario Kart DS...

Mario Kart Wii Reviewed FunnyGames, May 21, 2008
...From a single-player perspective, Mario Kart Wii offers about as much depth has it has in previous entries. Race through a bunch of different tracks and engine levels against AI racers to win new characters, vehicles and tracks. Very straight forward, almost to the point of phoning it in. Considering how much work went into the single-player of Smash Bros Brawl (another primarily multiplayer game), some cutscenes or an overarching story would've gone a long way.

For multiplayer, you can play split screen with up to 4 players, or hop online with one other person and take on folks from around the globe. While playing living people adds to the challenge of the game, Mario Kart really loses something if you're playing against people that aren't on the same couch as you, and the lack of voice chat doesn't help matters much. Though it's there, the cumbersome nature of the online features means that you're probably better off sticking with local games...
