MagNeato!
A Tower of metal blocks on a magnetic base. Whee.
I collect stainless steel magnetic desk toys like this one. I also sometimes have a lava lamp and one of those static balls. So let’s see: Liquids, strong magnets, and static electricity. Yes. These are great things to keep on my desk near my computers. All I need to complete the collection is an EM pulse disco ball or a little Koi Pond for my motherboard to float around in. Brilliant.
If the machines ever rise up and try to enslave humanity, I’m pretty sure I could fend them off by myself using just the toys on my desk.
The Best of 2011
My picks for what was important, awesome, or worth talking about in 2011.
How I Plan To Rule This Dumb Industry
Here is how I'd conquer the game-publishing business. (Hint: NOT by copying EA, 2K, Activision, Take-Two, or Ubisoft.)
PC Gaming Golden Age
It's not a legend. It was real. There was a time before DLC. Before DRM. Before crappy ports. It was glorious.
Fixing Match 3
For one of the most popular casual games in existence, Match 3 is actually really broken. Until one developer fixed it.
Programming Language for Games
Game developer Jon Blow is making a programming language just for games. Why is he doing this, and what will it mean for game development?
You know what would be the absolute coolest thing for your desk. One of those tilting birds that drink glasses of water. That would make you the most rockinest guy in town
:D i like magnets.
u might be right about the “taking over the world” thing… just read Ctrl+Alt+Del
If the machines ever rise up and try to enslave humanity, I'm pretty sure I could fend them off by myself using just the toys on my desk.
Absolutely. Ever stick a magnet to a computer? Maybe use a “chip clip” to hold your floppy disks?
Hint: You won’t do it twice.
