Pinball Magic

If you’re itching to make your iPhone pinball games a little more realistic, New Potato has you covered. Slide your iPhone or iPod Touch into this neat pinball cabinet and you’ve got a realistic desktop pinball machine. It features:

    Classic pinball game controls: Ball-launching plunger, flipper buttons, credit/select button.

    Time-honored design: LED-lit animated backbox lights up to reward your pinball wizard skills, folding legs provide portability and easy storage.

    True arcade gameplay features:
    Multiple classic and unique playboard layout
    Advanced multi-level and multiplayer competition
    Four possible multi-ball modes
    End-of-ball and replay bonuses
    Tilt detection, tilt warning and activation
    Ball saver

It comes with a free pinball app (iTunes link), but I’d hope the developers would open it up to other pinball games. Especially the ones from Gameprom. It’s a mere $40 at Best Buy.

Found at FingerGaming and every other iOS gaming site.

[BB-Blog] found this beautiful quote and I asked a few designers to interpret it for me. Chris Loccisano is responsible for the above. Hit the jump for work from Justin & Zonnia. Read More »

worse than a brain freeze

Before you get all freaked out, little Tommy isn’t about to off himself, he’s actually mowing down on a delicious icy treat.

In 2003, Florian Jenett and Valentin Beinroth placed about 50 handgun replicas in downtown Frankfurt. The guns were made from tinted ice, making them look real at first sight.

In 2009 they did a new edition of their Freeze! project but made the guns eatable edible by using coke, licorice, cherry and food coloring.

Oh those wacky Germans. I could’ve come up with a smarmy intro to that picture, but I think the visual is a lot to swallow on it’s own. Hey-OH!

found at today and tomorrow & inspire me now.

Freakonomics the movie

Hey everyone, long time no speak. Looks like I went on another one of my month-long disappearances again. So much for building an audience :/ I’m back again, hopefully for a nice, long stretch.

Jason Kottke posted the trailer for the new Freakonomics movie and I figured that’d be a perfect way to dip my toe back into blogging.

It’s got smarts, smart-asses and beautiful motion graphics – I’m sold. AND it’s debuting on iTunes before theatres. Anyone want to come over & watch with me on September 3rd?
