As I’m sure the majority of my readers are already aware, last week the iPad 2 was announced with a flourish only reserved for Apple’s cult products. Despite the not-too-impressive advances from the original iPad (to me, thinning the profile and slapping two mediocre cameras to the device do not warrant a significant upgrade), thousands […]

Coming this fall, Hasbro will release a new version of America’s favorite boardgame. An electronic version. Complete with its own all-seeing evil tower (hark the Sauron references!). According to the NYTimes, the tower uses infrared light to surveil the entire board. It calculates rent, whose turn it is and where your piece is on the […]

Graphic artist Raphael Phillips has combined the beloved Mega Man with my favorite childhood toy: Lego. The imagining of these two fantastically geeky worlds can be seen over at The 8-bit Cubist, where Phillips not only depicts the original Mega Man particularly well (and instantly recognizable), Mega Man’s various powers are also beautifully rendered. I would […]
J likes to tease me and call me a “twinkie” (yellow on the outside, white on the inside) because I’m not too familiar with the Asian culture. Sure, I like to pretend — and write about it on this blog — but the truth of the matter is that I routinely research and triple-check my […]
Love this! I would buy it if it were ever to be released as an actual board game, but like the Social Network map, it will probably get outdated very quickly. My only gripe: does anyone use Photobucket anymore? I would think that Picasa Web would be a better choice… The Board: Mashable […]
