Tim Schafer's Brutal Legend: Behind the Gatefold – "interface designer Joe 'codeloss' Kowalski goes awesomely in-depth on work he put into the menu and title screen systems — a system brilliantly aping the wonderful yesteryear of gatefold sleeves and ballpoint-pen scrawled notebooks." currently playing and loving the game.
Tahuna Breaks – Giddy Up (HD) – 'A cheeky song about a naughty topic visually depicted within a parody of a 70s childhood classic. **contains adult content**'

Hear Me Roar – "If people mistake your gender that frequently I would personally suggest maybe a new hairstyle or different clothing before resorting to posting a sign OR I’d tell my friends how to correctly spell “Kick Me”." how? why? did this guy lose a bet?
Apple Co-Founder Ron Wayne’s Long, Strange — and Sad — Trip – "We don’t hear much about Ron Wayne, one of the three founders of Apple Computer in 1976. That might be because he gave back a stake that would be worth $22 billion today a mere 12 days after he got it from his partners, Steve Jobs and Steve Wozniak."
T!R!A!S!H % H!U!M!P!E!R!S – possibly TEH most annyoing ringtones ever?

Fincube – "How could a temporary and simple living unit, coping with the demands of a mobile society and its nomadic lifestyle, look like?" want.
Apple invites authors to self-publish on iPad bookstore – "Getting a book deal isn’t easy (I can personally vouch for that), and Apple is now an alternative to the traditional publisher. The company this week opened a new portal for independent authors to self-publish their books for the iBooks Store open to iPad (and soon iPhone) customers." yeh but, in switzerland we still cant buy books on the ibooks store…

Soon after, the Dutch duo known simply as Haas&Hahn began Favela Painting, an organization dedicated to bringing “outrageous works of art to unexpected places.”"
The Future of Magazines? – "The only real differentiation between the Wired application and a multimedia CD-ROM is the delivery mechanism: you download it via the App Store versus buying a CD-ROM at the now defunct Egg Head store at your local strip mall. And I really mean that comparison. For all of the interactivity that was touted in the Flash prototype, what we’ve really ended up with is a glorified slide show." yes, some of these critiques hold true. but. no more paper! and not having to wait weeks and weeks fr my latest issue of wired!

Icke & Er – L.I.B.E. 2010 – "Seit ihrer "Exit-Strategie" aus dem Musikbusiness hatte man so gut wie nichts mehr von ihnen gehört. Nun präsentieren Icke & Er ein 17 Track starkes Album, das alle musikalischen und weltanschaulichen Grenzen sprengt."

Fussball im Park – "Soccer is simple, but it is difficult to play simple."
Johan Cruijff
Nein, wir sind kein Fight Club. Aber trotzdem soll gelten, dass weder Spielfeldgrösse noch Spieldauer vorgegeben sind. Das Heimteam bringt den Ball und setzt die "Pfosten". Der Rest ist Verhandlungssache.
Teamregeln
Teams bestehen aus mindestens 4 Spielern. Die Spieleranzahl kann man natürlich auch erweitern, falls beide Teams mehr als 4 Spieler vor Ort haben. Die optimale Anzahl Spieler ist jedoch auch etwas vom Park abhängig. Falls mal Spieler fehlen sollten, kann auch zu dritt gespielt werden. Auch hier gilt, dass das Heimteam letztendlich entscheidet.
Der Teamname muss den Namen des Parks beinhalten (schliesslich geht’s ja auch um die Parkkultur der Stadt Zürich). Teamdresses sind kein Muss. Schliesslich sollte man sich mit seinen Mitspielern blind verstehen..
Spielplan
Ziel ist es, ein Spiel pro Woche zu spielen."
