From Something Awful:
Now it's not just "move the crude block," it's "move the crude block that killed his wife and is haunted by a demon of his own guilt."

The pic reminds me of my long lost cybercarnet.

A pixel is worth like 472 words.

David at Ironic Sans has created pre-pixelated clothing perfect for your reality TV needs. Pretty nifty. And I really, really like the black shirt, independent of the 'cute' idea. They're for sale at cafe press. If only they were a bit cheaper.

The Destiny is Reversible, turn back, turn back!

Next up, The Reversible-Destiny Lofts in Tokyo. An apartment complex designed by Japanese artist Shusaku Arakawa and poet Madeline Gins. Not someplace I would want to live, but someplace I might like to live near. They feature concave and oddly sloped floors, wacky light switch placement, no closet space, and other such amenities. Niiice. Arakawa says, "[The apartment] makes you alert and awakens instincts, so you'll live better, longer and even forever."
Sounds like an interesting place to visit.

The triumphant return of So Up On Feet!

I mean Soup on feet.
I've been some combination of busy and lazy for the past couple weeks, but now I have a flurry of things to post. So let's get this party started without any further ado.


First up, the fab nano MAME cabinet, waiting for those of you who have already put Pac-Man or Ms. Pac-Man onto your nano through the iPod MAME Project, and incentive for those of you who haven't.
[MAME, for those of you who, like me, didn't know, stands for Multiple Arcade Machine Emulator]

P.S. Ms. Pac-Man rules. It began life as a bootleg called Crazy Otto.
P.P.S. I never made it this far, but apparently level 256 of both Pac-man and Ms. Pac-Man is the split-screen level and the de-facto end of the game.











P.P.P.S. In researching this, I ran across a Pac-Man knock off that I remember playing at my friend Paul's house, K.C.'s Krazy Chase, in which you ate sections of the Dratapillar instead of dots. If you have any links or info on this, please let me know, as I can't find much besides a brief mention in the wikipedia entry for its predecessor, K.C. Munchkin!.

UPDATE: I found a short review of K.C.'s Krazy Chase with some pictures.
