Mario Super Sluggers
"Voici quelques images de meilleure qualité de Mario Super Sluggers sur Wii tirées du magazine japonais Famitsu. Le jeu de base-ball dans l'univers de Mario sortira le 19 juin prochain au Japon."
Chronotron: Mind-boggling time travel game
I find this game Chronotron very hard to wrap my mind around. Can you do better? [As far as I know, the image has nothing to do with the game...but I found it by Googling for a Chronotron image, and it seemed appropriate.]

Saturday Puzzles!
I have got three good game puzzles: Best Friends Forever (better then it sounds), Shift and Shift 2 (much harder then Shift 1). Photo: here.
Boom Blox
Boom Blox, a new Wii game designed by famous film director Steven Spielberg, came out a few days ago. Official website here.
I like that you can use it to make Rube Goldberg machines.

WorldMapper
"Worldmapper is a collection of world maps, where territories are re-sized on each map according to the subject of interest.
There are now nearly 600 maps."
This map shows refugee origins: countries that more people try to escape from are shown larger. Not too many people are refugees from Canada, the USA, or Mexico, so North America appears as a spidery line. Some tiny countries in the Middle East and Africa are huge.
Check out the toy exports map.
Money makes the world go 'round
Check out these interesting pictures of money. Shown here: A 1934 $100,000 bill (now discontinued). The same company also has pages on interesting facts about money and about credit card debt.

The Atchley's Underground House
My friends Paul And Ruth Ann Atchley live in this cool underground house in Kansas. While they were building it, they lived for a year in this yurt.

World of Warcraft
The friends I am visiting love to play World of Warcraft. I hadn't seen it before- it's more impressive than I expected. Looks like fun.

Play usefully!
Gwap.com has a bunch of 'games' (not exactly Super Mario Galaxy, but of some mild interest) that researchers at Carnegie Mellon University are using to train computers to solve classification problems and other problems that are hard for computers to solve. So while you play, you generate useful data. Might as well do something useful while you're wasting time on the web!

Two celebrity icons in one
This is pretty amazing. Up close it clearly looks like Albert Einstein, but from a distance, it clearly looks like Marilyn Monroe!
