There is a new generation of video games which are being made so difficult, that many players last no longer than 10 seconds. Yet it is the very nature of the ultimate challenge that keeps many people coming back time and again, just as we need to always be on the look out for Blue Moon Opportunities that completely change our lives.

One producer of video games told us, “Ikaruga, re-released their latest video game in April for Microsoft Xbox’s Live Arcade. It is so difficult that some users post their best performances on YouTube.”

A video game researcher at MIT, Jesper Juul, says “There is an art to exasperating people in such a way that it keeps them interested in the game.” This is what makes video games different from all other forms of creative media. It’s all about the feeling of inadequacy and how stupid it makes you feel to get stuck somewhere. Juul explains “People love the rush it gives them when they eventually achieve. Isn’t that why athletes push themselves to the point of no return and beyond, so as to achieve a medal at the Olympics? It’s all about the feeling of satisfaction and being able to outperform others.”

It is facing the same impossible odds that pushed Wendy and Rick to take up the challenge and create Win a Resort and the Blue Moon Opportunity. It is the challenges of life that push us to give of our best, no matter what situation we find ourselves in. It’s all about how to think outside the box.

Rick and Wendy retired to a tropical island, Vanuatu, in the South Pacific. It’s great living in the Happiest Country on Earth and the home of South Pacific Survivors. The best decision we ever made.

Isn’t this cartoon by Mark Lynch fabulous. You need to check out his site.

Maybe you have some great out-of-the-box ideas to share, that pushes people in the ultimate challenge. It only takes one whacky idea to make you a success.

It seems Killer Rabbits keep surfacing, even in the tropical island nation of Vanuatu, in the South Pacific.

The original ‘Killer Rabbit’ was a fictional beast created for the movie Monty Python and the Holy Grail. This was followed the President Carter’s incident when the Killer Rabbit decided to take a swim.

In Monty Python and the Holy Grail , Bors, one of knights of King Arthur’s round table, boldly approached the innocent looking Guardian Beast, known as the White Rabbit. Bor’s head is chopped off by the White Rabbit, to the sound of a tin opener at work. The knights then attacked in force, only to be driven off by the ‘Killer White Rabbit’.

The Killer Rabbit made its next appearance in a musical, Spamalot, inspired by the Monty Python movie, which in turn was inspired by Shakespeare’s, Hamelot. Since then there have been many Killer Rabbit products: ‘Killer Rabbit slippers’, ‘Killer Rabbit dolls’, ‘Killer Rabbit Tshirts’, even a Jimmy Carter Killer Rabbit attack.

President Jimmy Carter, on a break from the pressures of office, was fishing in a pond in a canoe, when he saw a desperate looking rabbit swimming straight for him. “It’s nostrils flared, hissing menacingly, with its teeth flashing, it was frantically struggling to reach a safe haven,” was the report from one eye witness. No doubt it brought back many memories to the President, of tales told in his childhood, of killer rabbits in the swamps. The President’s Secret Service men were caught flatfooted.

As he was without a weapon of any kind,  the President  was forced to use the oar against the monster rabbit, in an attempt to defend himself. Fortunately for (we are not sure who), the rabbit decided to turn tail swim for the shore line. It was thought, a photo taken of the incident by a White House photographer, suffered the fate of all ‘Killer Rabbit‘ photos. Flushed down the Presidential toilet, never to see the light of day again (until now).

Then Dean Hunt’s killer rabbit surfaced and ran riot on the social network, hitting the front page of DIGG.
Rumour has it that Dean’s Killer Rabbit has a Killer Rabbit mate who has immigrated to Vanuatu, a tiny tropical island nation, that is the travel adventure destination of the South Pacific. It has been reported that Dean’s Killer Rabbit may be holding a secret tryst with MKR-Vu (Ms Killer Rabbit, Vanuatu) later this year, at Resort, Vanuatu. Stay tuned as we bring you more in the ‘Killer Rabbit’ series.

Most people love to watch movies. However, when a person becomes obsessed by a movie and watches it so many times, it can become deadly. When that person attempts to take the plot of a movie and make it into real life, firmly believing in their heart it is their special Blue Moon Opportunity (an opportunity that changes lives) the results can be disastrous. Here are just three movies which have become real living nightmares. Is fact stranger than fiction, or do the edges become blurred from time to time?

She Lost a Profession Because of Being Stalked by a Killer

John Hinkley became fixated with actress Jody Fisher and began stalking her. This caused Jody to leave the acting world behind. Hinkley was obsessed with the film Taxi Driver, directed by Martin Scorcese, starring Robert De Niro, where Jodie played the part of a 12 year-old prostitute.

Hinkley also stalked Jimmy Carter, was caught and apprehended for 62 hours, before being released again. Later, Hinkley nearly succeeded in his attempt to kill President Ronald Reagan. Hinkley was determined to impress and win the affection of Jody Fisher.

The film, Taxi Driver centres on a New York taxi driver, who collected guns and attempted to assassinate a presidential candidate. The taxi driver wanted to save a young prostitute from her way of life. All this, Hinkley attempted to act out in real life, involving Jody. President Reagan was fortunate to get away with only taking a bullet under the armpit, but one of his security people ended up in a wheelchair.

Hinkley never let his obsession with Jody Fisher go.  Even after being found not guilty of the attempted assassination, because of mental incapacity at the time of the shooting, Hinkley was assigned to St. Elizabeths Hospital for the mentally ill. A collection of photos of Jody were take from Hinkley’s room, five years after being confined to the hospital.

The Kind of Bank Manager Everyone Wants - Unless You Are The Victim

39 year old, Bernedict Hancock, bank manager of the Royal Bank of Scotland, watched too many Robin Hood movies. No, it’s not a a story based in a green-treed Sherwood Forest, but a modern concrete and glass jungle.

Bernedict Hancock stole a total of seven million pounds from rich customers and gave it to poor and needy clients. Clients who were going through a period of financial hardship. The kind of companies banks say a loud clear ‘No Loan’ to.

Hancock told the true owners of the money, their funds had been invested in safe Bank of England bonds. As Hancock never took advantage for himself, of his life of crime, it was not until one of the bank’s rich clients discovered that his account was five million pounds short, that an internal investigation followed.

Of the seven million pounds stolen, the bank was able to reclaim only 700,000 pounds from two different firms. The bank had to write off the other $6.3 million. This amount was loaned to a failing clothes manufacturer.

Black Widows With Ulteria Motives

Two Albanian women in their late seventies, living in the USA, were sentenced to life imprisonment. They copy-catted the classic comedy movie Arsenic and Old Lace. Frank Copra’s movie, starring Carey Grant, centred on two old ladies befriending homeless men. Through the kindly administration of home-made elderberry wine, liberally laced with arsenic, strychnine and cyanide, the women sent the men to their death.

The Black Widows, Helen Golay, 77 and Olga Rutterschmidt, 75, were found guilty after having befriended two homeless men, aged 73 and 50, at an Eastern European church. They had found accommodation for the men and taken out life policies on the men, (insurance-with-intent-to-murder). They arranged for the men to be killed in a hit-and-run car accident in an isolated side alley. The women collected nearly $3 million for their trouble. There were also several other similar victims who had died in similar circumstances, having also been insured by the women.

Conclusion

While we all enjoy the occasional  ‘veg-out’ watching films, I wonder how many movie plots have become fact? If you know of any others please add them to this  list.  It is enough to make you question which comes first, fact of fiction?
