  New York Gets Destroyed 8-bit Style VIDEO 

  mattiwaarna — April 08, 2010 — Imagine the apocalypse. Now imagine characters and elements from 80s games carrying it out. This is exactly what this crazy video portrays, and being a classic games geek myself, if this sort of thing were to happen in real life, Im not sure whether Id run or marvel at the sight.

  Its all there — Pacman, Tetris, Arkanoid. Once-friendly, familiar characters wreak havoc on the buildings, streets and cars of New York. The video was created by Patrick Jean from the Paris-based special effect studio One More Production, and the production level is nothing short of amazing. See for yourself.

  #Shoestring Xmas 

  

  Last year we were giving for xmas. This year we are giving and saving by doing xmas on a shoestring.

  We have put together a twitter aggregator which pulls in tweets anytime someone mentions ShoestringXmas (#shoestringxmas).

  To promote this fun tool we took old xmas cards – luckily weird people like Darcie collect them – and had rubber stamps made with our message, logo and charity we are donating to, Marie Curie, with the money we saved.

  Many people are having a tough time this year and we felt it would be a good way to bring cheer, cheek and some possibly useful ideas to save!

  Check out the website http://www.shoestringxmas.com and tweet your own ideas.

  Also, you can check out the video below to see the process and the fun we had throughout the project.
