For stargazers everywhere, the challenge of interpreting the constellations can be a tricky one. What exactly could the belt of Orion or the Gemini twins be trying to tell us? Lucky for those in the Southern Hemisphere, then — this Monday they're getting a huge break. Venus, Jupiter, and our old friend the Moon are about to arrange themselves over Australia in a pattern that is unmistakable. The Sydney Observatory spoke to The Sydney Morning ...

This post is an extension of my previous entry on financial games, not because it deals wholly with that section of early gaming, but instead that it highlights a certain perspective that I feel modern games have not adequately addressed; the potential for the medium to inform and shape general perceptions of both complex real world systems, and historical events. I'm aware there are many games that currently deal with both of these concepts, but ...

Famicom + five games for $49: Since we’re already talking about game sales (and since we’re in a shopping mood, what with Black Friday madness sweeping the internet), we thought it prudent to mention Rising Stuff’s Christmas Special — a Famicom system with five random games for only $49! I’m not familiar with traditional Famicom pricing, so I consulted JC to see if this is a bargain, and he replied, “That’s a huuuuuuuuge deal, even ...

Robert Ballard, the explorer who found the wreckage of the Titanic, has just revealed that the expedition was actually a cover story for the US Navy about two lost nuclear submarines: The Navy was not interested in the Titanic. … I mean, they funded the technology because it had so many military applications. And I was a naval intelligence officer for 30 years, and so I did a lot of missions for the Navy. Many ...

Enterprising young artists in the London scene are usually presented with the dilemma of having to rent extremely expensive studio space in order to be able to work. This led furniture designer Auro Foxcroft to a rather ingenious and environmentally conscious solution. What was it? Take old subway cars, mount them on a rooftop, and use them for office space! A bit sparse? Sure! But these recycled subway cars are sure to inspire other green-minded, ...

Mike McWhertor may be too modest (or hungover) to write up the sale taking place over on his shirtery's site, but that won't stop me. All day today Meat Bun shirts are an insane $10 and the sale ends at midnight on Black Friday or when they run out. The best part? The first 20 orders get an extra tee thrown in for free. (Meat Bun's choice.) So if you're in the market for a ...

OK, Black Friday has officially gotten out of hand. A 34-year-old WalMart employee was trying to hold back the crowds at a Long Island store this morning at 5am, when they took the doors off their hinges and stormed the store. The man fell down and was trampled by over 200 people as he gasped for air. It's sad and despicable, and it's equally the fault of the dehumanized shoppers and the WalMart store it ...

“Fearless Flight” by Nullsleep. Jeremiah Johnson (Nullsleep), one of the bigger names in the chiptune scene, just released a new EP titled Unconditional Acceleration: “[It’s] an exploration of romance and tragedy in the 21st century. Five songs, limitless intensity. Ecstatic bursts of cascading waveforms race toward uncertainty. A feeling of ever increasing separation develops. Unattainable distances are approached and sheets of white noise issue forth from the fissures of an obsessively restructured reality. The sound ...

This Super Mario Galaxy cake is definitely the latter. Constructed of pure greatness, actual cake, fondant, Rice Krispy squares, fiber optic lighting, and pure love, the cake features several Super Mario Galaxy features and characters, including the under-glass pill-shaped puzzle area and Princess Peach's castle. And then just when you ...
