ROTFL!
Friday, October 13th, 2006I’m not (too) ashamed to admit that I’m something of a geek, so there’s pretty much nothing I enjoy more than a good political/webby in-joke. As such, I *love* the nerdtastic “Hate my Tory” - an excellent Hot or Not spoof. Rather disappointingly, there’s not an awful lot of Tory hating going on, and the current front bench get away very lightly - the best scores are Jonathan Aitken on 7.6, Douglas Hurd on 7.2, and Chris Patten on 7.0. Looks like the charm offensive is working!
Let’s hope though, that much much more of the same comes out of the designers, Transpero (Aren’t they the ones behind Keeping The Faith?).
Also arcanely techy is MySociety’s Telnet text based adventure “MP Fight”, a kind of Politkemon, where you play your MP in a quest to reach Sedgefield by top-trumping all the Hon members in your way. Hat Tip to Antonia for this one!
