Never not blogging
Games: Snatcher Pilot DS: The Snatcher demo disc ported to Nintendo DS - quite an achievement. Snatcher’s an old cyberpunk game by Hideo Kojima of Metal Gear Solid. You’re going to need a NintendoDS flash card to play. Via Insert Credit.

Rise of the robots
Modular robot reassembles when it’s kicked apart: everywhere on the internet today. Skynet rises. Seriously though, how long until these modules are itsy-bitsy? See also the NeoCube.
New BMW M1: sexxxxxxy. The body looks like two layers, as if the black underneath is cracking through, trying to escape. And check the I Ching rims! In other […]
What’s up Monday

Hack your PSP Slim
So I just bought a PSP and waded through a bunch of bad information in order to successfully get it hacked - I decided to write up a little how-to for the nerds in the audience here. Easier than working with an AppleTV but not as satisfying T_T
Media List
Here’s what’s on my queue - what am I missing? I’ve heard a lot of the talked-about music and seen a lot of movies that’ve come out this year but haven’t read a lot of books.
Books

Audeguy - The Theory of Clouds
Bolano - The Savage Detectives
Ellis - Crooked Little Vein
Jin - A Free Life
Nersesian - […]
So, um
…see you next year. Seriously, what games should I get for this thing? I’m thinking Rachet & Clank (NYT rave), Oblivion (which apparently ate two weeks of Tom Bissell’s life) and maybe Ninja Gaiden or Virtua Fighter 5. Also v. excited about Blade Runner: The Final Cut in HD.
Update: I opened the box, and this […]
Another obsession dealt with
In 1992, a Japanese video game company called Kaneko made a prototype of a Beastie Boys arcade game. It was eventually released, but heavily modified and stripped of licensing. I wrote up a page to collect all known information about it in one place. I give you: The Beastie Boys Arcade Game.

Andreaa has a new site for her new book and a new Amazon blog. On the offhand chance that anyone who reads Litwack.org is unfamiliar, make sure to buy To Feel Stuff on August 1. Napping is okay, but don’t sleep!

It’s on like Donkey Kong Jr.
This video game thing started at a really early age. That’s me and Kate!
Put a quarter in your ass ’cause you played yourself
This is the video game post.
Mother (AKA Earthbound) 3 is coming out April 20 in Japan and I could not be more excited. It’s going to be released for the Gameboy Advance, which is as close to the Super Nintendo as Shigesato Itoi could get. Details have been kept totally undercover, so I can’t tell […]
C’mere god damn it
Just wirelessly synced my Treo 650 for the first time. Slow as fuck but awesome.
SF 18-20th?
My second-most intense spaghetti carbonara ever is coagulating in my gut right this second. So many egg yolks.
I read that Edge “2006 big question” thing in full (the question was: what’s your dangerous idea?) and it seemed like the answers […]
