Hello my ducks, I'm Dr Sellout, veteran raconteur and famously good egg, and I'm here to guest edit the essentially defunct Way of the Rodent. It was as I was sitting on Peter Molyneux's space yacht, good Japanese whisky in hand, watching Aleks Krotowski dance for us that I had a moment of profound grace. In her frightened tears I saw a truth 'Sellout old boy', I said to myself, 'Sellout, games people are the best people there is'. And that's why I agreed to come out of tax-related semi retirement to bring you the original spirit of video gaming. That and the brown envelope of unmarked Portuguese Escudo tucked behind the cistern, fourth trap from the left in the shitters at Watford Gap. http://www.wayoftherodent.com/

analog audio tape cassette nostalgia - tapedeck.org

http://www.tapedeck.org/ Tapedeck.org is a project of neckcns.com , built to showcase the amazing beauty and (sometimes) weirdness found in the designs of the common audio tape cassette . There's an amazing range of designs, starting from the early 60's functional cassette designs, moving through the colourful playfulness of the 70's audio tapes to amazing shape variations during the 80's and 90's. We hope you enjoy these tapes as much as we do! The compact audio cassette medium for audio storage was introduced by Philips in 1963 under the name Compact Cassette . Although there were other magnetic tape cartridge systems at the time, the Compact Cassette became dominant as a result of Philips' decision (in the face of pressure from Sony) to license the format free of charge. It went on to become a popular (and re-recordable) alternative to the vinyl record deck during the 1970s.

Sock Master's Video Game Controller Family Tree

How did the current home-console controllers come to be? How have they evolved? You may have noticed some similarities between the current generation controllers, or between them and the previous generations of controllers. So, how do they all tie together? http://www.axess.com/twilight/console/
