Holy cow, how creative! When this news tip showed up in my queue I was nearly blown away after clicking the link. Thanks very much to aisakie for the pictures of the factories where video games of the 80′s and 90′s were made. The picture above is a shot of the factory where Tetrinos, the blocks used in Tetris, are manufactured. Never before has the public been allowed into these exclusive locations. Here’s an excerpt from the photographer’s website

Tetris:
When Alexei Pajitnov first ordered a load of bricks from Karpov Abramtsevo’s workshop, workers there were wondering who could be interested in all those right-angled blocks. No one in 1985 could have imagined those concrete Tetriminos would become world famous and constitute Russia’s deadliest weapon against Reagan’s America.

Hit the jump for a few more of the pictures and a link to the gallery.

Here’s a video to promote “The Guild“‘s 3rd season which is coming out soon. The video shows Felicia Day in a corset and enjoying a little bit of kink… YEAH! Take that sword in the — err wha? Anyway if you’ve never seen The Guild, then it might just be your time to take a look at it. The show is about a group of people who are playing an MMO, and instead of the story focusing on the characters, it focuses on the people who play them. Pretty cool actually…

Preorder your’s now… these bad boys are actually pretty sweet… They would totally match my everyday work wear too.

this colorful design, brings you the joy that comes with crushing minions beneath your heroic toes. “Check out the bottom and insides of these…I meant that bit about crushing minions literally, at least from a design sense.”

Thanks to Robin for the heads up, who always wears sneakers with the suit.

Are we all ready for the rush of news posts? My internet was down yesterday (the site wasn’t), so now I’ve got a backlog of content for you.

Sure, we’ve all been RickRolled at least once in our lives, but when I was sent this, I just had to share. It actually goes together quite nicely… makes you wonder if there is someone playing two songs at once all the time to find the perfect combinations of songs.

Thanks to Tom for the new take on an old hit.

umm… I spent 30 seconds looking at this site that was just linked to me. The idea is neat, but O M G people are so dumb!!!!1 I feel dumber for just looking at it. If you feel really smart today and need some life sucked right out through your eyes, click the link below… But I warn you, it’s worse than the comments on YouTube.

Umm… I’m not sure how to feel about this, but there seems to be a theme lately of awesome baking ideas. Someone make me a Zelda cake and I’ll know how to feel about it; Zelda is hot.. Especially straight out of the oven!

Oh and on an unrelated note, if you haven’t yet noticed, Some of the pages around the WritheM Network have been facebook enabled. This will let you comment on some pages that you previously couldn’t… it also means there is a shoutbox on the right of the blog that allows users to post anything to. Maybe your own links?

Soon as I have a son I’m dressing him in this… Which means I need 2 things:

1. Lady to have a son with… preferably hot and smart (Sorry don’t expect child support)
2. Someone who knits to make this outfit for me.

Anyone? Please use the contact form if you’re able to fill either point…
