You have to build structures (towers/bridges etc) for your monkeys to climb, get the bananas and reach their destination. Your building material at the start is bamboo but you’ll also get coconut and vines. The amount of material you have is limited so create wisely. It must support the weight of multiple monkeys crossing it and behaves with the usual expected set of physics (your structure might not even stand to begin with if you do it wrong, and then it might break if it’s not strong enough when monkeys get on it) There are 5 different islands, 45 challenges in total.

There is no subtitles on the video but tipper, Z Z, kindly sent us a translation which reminds me of the strange dialogue that also accompanied the N9 promos in China. He says he’s Chinese but his main language is English so be aware the translation might not be perfect but it gives a better gist to us who haven’t got a hope at all of grasping anything.

May 16, 2012 by tv show news · Leave a Comment
This Monday on The Bachelorette, Emily will embark on her first three dates of the season: two one-on-ones with Ryan the studly football player and Joe, who was most notable in this week’s premiere for having no control over his own volume or enthusiasm. I guess Emily likes a guy who brings the excitement, because lucky Joe gets to accompany her to a fancy resort in West Virginia, where they’ll submit their dreams on pieces of paper to a “love clock”! Yeah, I don’t really know what that means, either. But you can find a link to a clip from their date, in which Joe and Emily recite their love-clock-dream-wishes, below! Elsewhere in the episode, Emily will put Ryan to “the cookie test” (also find out what THAT means below), and in her big group date of the episode, perform on stage with 13 of her bachelors and THE MUPPETS.

May 16, 2012 by streaming video · Leave a Comment
With nearly 9 million video-on-demand transactions performed in 2011, the potential to monetize that content is huge. But a paucity of working dynamic ad insertion (DAI) products has left that potential largely unrealized. Digital media services company Avail-TVN today rolled out a new DAI content preparation service it said is a solution for content providers looking to tap into that revenue stream. Using its Advanced Advertising Insertion and Marking service (AAIM), launched last year, Avail-TVN now can provide mid-roll content marking and stream conditioning services as an enhancement to the encoding and editing workflow
‘Community’ Poll: Best Episode of Season 3 (So Far)
May 16, 2012 by tv show news · Leave a Comment
The triple dose of new Community episodes to end season 3 is almost upon us, and to prepare for a long summer without the Greendale 7, let’s take a look back at this distinctive season so far. From an abrupt winter hiatus that provoked the comedy’s many cult-like fans to some experimental risks (even for Community), this season has certainly been interesting. Pierce became less of an outcast, Troy and Abed engaged in civil war and Britta became the worst. There were documentaries, unexpected deaths and the divergence of multiple timelines. Basically, it got weird, but in a good way.
