If you want to get into to the Christmas mood while playing online games then my advice is to visit some games at Jackpotjoy. The site has special holiday decorations and many of the game figures such as the Jalapeño Racers are also wearing special Christmas costumes. There are apparently big Jackpots to be won and very juicy bonuses..

I’ve watched the Channel 4 programme, Deal or No Deal a number of times, mostly when I’m waking up at 5pm on Saturday after a Friday night on the tiles. With the taste of cheap kebab still on my tonsils I watch the uber groomed, part TV presenter part toy bear, smoothly tone over his randomly knitted jumpers.

Don’t ask me what the game is about, but it is perfect for a hangover, it’s as if a Zen master had created the perfect vibrations for the brain by designing TV show to the specifications of Bhuddah himself.

Deal or no Deal makes no sense, but then that’s the point. If it did, you would have to think about it, to follow it, to laugh and cry with the contestents. But, because it exists on the shadows of conscious brain, it allows itself to waft over the sharp parts left over from an hangover and smooth them down.

The Flash Game is similar, there are no tactics, no strategy, it simply forces you not to think. Trying to influence the outcome would be like trying to balance one grain of sand on another.

It forces you to empty the mind, and as we learned from the Karate Kid, that can be a good thing.

One redeeming feature of the free Flash game, actually it’s two. Is that Noel Edmonds is not in it and the other is you can’t get Flash on the iPhone.

Has Steve Jobs even seen Deal or no Deal, makes you wonder.

Play the game, and I challenge you to have a single useful though whilst you do.

118.69 million game boys have been sold worldwide since its introduction in 1980. However the last 30 years has not been kind to these gaming devices and now many lie dead in basements across the world.

Here are 10 creative ways to make the most from the game boys that did not make it to 2010!

1. Game Boy Hard Drive

Yes, this is a Nintendo GameBoy. No, it does not still play games. Yes, it is now an external hardrive… which kicks tail. The screen is actually a printed graphic, and the battery light is actually the hard drive’s LED rearranged to make the mod seem like a working GameBoy.

2. Tongue Controlled Gameboy

This has to be the only GameBoy Advance SP in existence… that is controlled by your tongue. The touch sensitive keypad picks up the strokes of your tongue and sends it to a micro-controller chip inside the GameBoy. The micro-controller translates your tongue’s movements into button triggers. You know what I think? That this would be perfect for Yoshi’s Island, but maybe that’s just me.

3. CD Player Gameboy

CD players are overrated. Jordi Bracke had the right idea when he rigged a GameBoy to play CDs via an ATAPI CD-ROM drive. Not so hard to do, really. Just get your hands on a Gameboy, (for casing and track information), a GameBoy cartridge (to connect the ATAPI drive), an ATAPI CD-ROM drive and a 12v-5v power supply… and now you’re good to go.

4. iBoy – Gameboy converted to an iPod

While it doesn’t have touch screen control just yet, the iBoy rocks. That’s it above; a first gen iPod repacked into the original GameBoy. The buttons were also rewired to control the iPod. This thing just smells of WIN… and, strangely, like 1989 at the same time.

5. Computer Inside a Gameboy

One part EPIA PX10000G motherboard (including a SD card slot, Ethernet and USB ports). One part original GameBoy casing. Mix together thoroughly. Enjoy. (Picture above)

6. Calculator Boy

lexis Sepúlveda likes math. And making mods to GameBoys. In a fit of genius and maniacal laughter, he decided to mash the two of them together. This “Calculator Boy” the result.

7. Floppy Drive Game Boy

This is the iPod for games. Kind of hard to accomplish, but this setup is basically just a floppy driver tethered to an original GameBoy. Stock up a floppy disk with ROM games and rock out. You can probably fit 10,000ish games on one disk… but good luck lugging this thing around with you. You’re better off keeping it at home.

8. Game Boy Phone Case

Well, if you’re bored you can always turn your GameBoy into a cell phone case. Perfect if you are always getting your phone taken away as part of being grounded. Moms will NEVER think to check here!

9. GameBoy Color inside a TI-83 series calculator

School sucks. Games are better. Why not take your Texas Instruments TI-8X series calculator and drop in the gizzards of a GameBoy Color? It’s being done (see image above). You can even map the GameBoy controls to match the calculator’s regular keyboard. While those other fools are busy learning calculus and stuff, you’ll be busy owning Super Mario Land.

10. Gameboy SK8

This is what happens when the original GameBoy and a Casio SK-8 copulate. A DIN connector is the umbilical cord (or something else that’s long and plugs into a hole), and it lets you trigger drum samples with the GameBoy’s buttons. What were the directionals is now a glitch switch that throws effects on the samples being played. Pure funky, zero fail boat.
