space invaders

what a rad space invaders watch! it think part of it's appeal is its extremely limited edition-ness, and obviously the throwback to everyone's favorite atari game. but, alas, now can play space invaders online (below), compliments of mr. paul neave (one of the great new media artists...have blogged him before but check him out if you're unfamiliar with his work).

i wish i could find a custom made LED watch that would display whatever you told it to. mine would display a bmxer going off a jump, with some peace signs, birds, and compliments intermittently.

get your video game face on

a NYTimes photographer places a camera behind a TV screen and films the expressions on of children while they play video games. this is what your video game face looks like.

super obama world

here's a barack obama video game parody of super mario world called Super Obama World. i'd start with level 1 ("for everything else there's the RNC") even if you think your super mario world skills are first class.

Kaiser Karl on the Airwaves

Karl Lagerfeld, the legendary designer at the helm of Chanel, is almost as renowned for his musical tastes as for his fashion nous. He has already released an album of his favourite electronica and dance tunes, and now he is poised to pop up in the latest version of the global gaming hit Grand Theft Auto as a virtual DJ. (via The Independent)

Karl sez: "They are the games of our times. Those games in a way changed the world.... They had written a politically incorrect dialogue... I loved it, [particularly] in a time when everybody wants to be so politically correct when they talk... "I prefer to be in a video than to play with it. I would love to be a very nasty, politically incorrect character."



Sneak peak of his set:



Sounds like DJ Karl is a Cerrone fan... I heard some Supernature up in there.
