The Week in Links #8
By• ‘Stoned wallabies make crop circles’. I guess they eat opium so they can jump high.
• Asahi ad, 1965. Poster WANT.
• Trailer for Hayao Miyazaki’s ‘Ponyo’. Yes.
• Nearly 50% of the top 50 Street Fighter IV players in Japan this week play as Sagat…
• Ray Bradbury, author of Fahrenheit 451, describes the Internet as ‘meaningless, not real [and] in the air somewhere’. Um, no, no and no?
• Geek train (photo).
• 19th Century pregnant Japanese doll. Those four monster babies will haunt your dreams.
• Edge Online put ‘The Making of Final Fantasy VII’ online. Awesome!
• Joey Nightmare’s SunShowers. This is where we live.
• Those close to us leave an imprint long after they’re gone.
• You too can have a body like Jesus. Perhaps the diet supplement’s ‘bread’… (Eucharist humour FTW.)
• “You have to do stuff that average people don’t understand, because those are the only good things.”
• ‘A game should be something like a skill you should develop… you walk away with something of value’
• Batman rehearsal.
• Garish but awesome hyper-rare PSOne promo item for Elemental Gearbolt. I loved this game back in the day. I miss Working Designs, too.
• Museum of Soviet-era Arcade Machines re-opens. Go look at their full collection. Srsly.
• 100-year-old colour Russian photographs look like they were taken yesterday:
• A little robot girlfriend makes some coffee:
• Yelle’s cover superb of Robyn’s ‘Who’s that Girl’. Is there anything that doesn’t sound better sung en Francais?
• Ever notice the arrow hidden in the FedEx logo? Here’s a load more of those “Huh? wow!” typographical moments.
• Men in parks. (It’s a photo, not a dot com).
• Don’t look now. Children photoshopped to look like puppets.
