Subj: What’s cooler than being cool?

Can You Draw a Cool S ?

We’ve launched the ultimate doodling game, dedicated to all those who’ve wasted time scribbling away in lessons/meetings.

Can You Draw a Cool S ? is trickier than it might seem, and we’re not sure what kind of device will be fastest (maybe graphics tablet?).

Feel free to send in your best times and coolest Ss via the “Write to us” link.

Subj: I will continue to strangle a horse

As mentioned in vmail 73, I made a game about attempting to strange a horse, but then dying of eg spider bumhead. Recently, I added more nonsense to it, bringing the word count from 7,600 words to 13,500. If you think that's a lot, you're absolutely right.

Do give it a go, mind. It's right daft.

Subj: Another plug for our mag

Conga line from DOCTYPE magazine

Huuuuuge thanks to everyone who’s already bought a copy of DOCTYPE magazine

If lots more copies are sold we’ll be able to afford to do more fun stuff next year (which often includes paying artists, musicians, etc to do amazing work), so please consider getting it if you can, we promise it’s really good.

Subj: Knight's tour

Can you do a video on the Knight's tour I really don't care if you fail in explaining and also open a youtube account people would love the random video crap like homestarrunner.com

Sysadmin note: in case anyone’s not aware, there’s a Knight’s Tour puzzle on the home page if you rummage through the notes. Animation is time-consuming and we don’t want to appear on camera, but might do more video content at some point

Subj: What would you like to see from us in 2026?

More games?
More random silliness?
Something completely different?

We can’t promise to take any notice whatsoever, but we’re interested in seeing your suggestions...
