I sent this 3D Tetris-like game to my mathematician friend. He replied with this joke: What’s non-orientable and lives in the sea? Mobius Dick.

This neat little side-scrolling game is remarkable primarily for its awesome, hand-drawn look. Using the mouse, you maneuver the little fuzzy creature to collect coins — simple enough, but you can’t move backwards, wherein lies the challenge.

Cubed is a fun little game where you strategically manipulate various cubes to capture a flag posted on each level. It gets hard, don’t let the first couple levels fool you.

Do people still play miniature golf? We’ve got so many gizmos and gadgets to distract us in our own homes these days, it’s a wonder anyone still pays money to hit a ball into a fiberglass clown’s mouth. While Mini-Putt doesn’t have the colorful and often surreal obstacles that make put-put so absurd, it does satisfy the urge to hit balls into holes and it preserves at least some vestige of a cultural phenomenon soon to go the way of drive-in cinemas.

Woah, we’ve gotten to the postmodern phase of flash game history where social commentary, appropriation of ironic DIY style, and surrealist absurdity are the order of the day. That said, Jason Nelson’s i made this. you play this. we are enemies. is pretty fun, if you manage to see through the frenetic aesthetic to figure out what’s going on.

Let’s see if the man is such a lame duck after all. Check out the league table below the game – it would seem even his own people aren’t altogether happy with him (well, duh). I’m averaging 13, and every hit is providing a nice little pick-me-up for the end of the week.

Auditorium is a vector-based puzzle game where the player uses circular pieces to bend or warp a stream of particles so that they flow into various goals on the screen. Each goal plays a line of music, and when all goals on the screen are activated, they create a sort of symphony. The creators intentionally omitted instructions so that the player can more fully interact with the game, creating his or her own individual experience in the process. An iPhone version is likely in the near future.

Amorphous is yet another addictive game that satisfies the same urge that drives us to compulsively pop bubble wrap. The game is simple: destroy a bunch of green blobs with your mighty sword before they envelop you.

Nanotube is a deceptively simple game in which you use the left and right arrow keys to control a circular wall to block escaping balls emanating from the center. As the game progresses, you have to match the different colored parts of the wall with the colors of the balls. [play also Submarine Zero: Ancient Adventure]

Australian group Pivot have recently signed with the mighty Warp label and — even better (well, for us anyway) — have written a fun Secret Playlist for us. You can see where the many disparate influences have seeped into their latest recording, the beautiful and colourful, O Soundtrack My Heart.
On the roof of Bangkok’s Banyan Tree Hotel is a dining experience like no other. The Vertigo Bar sits sixty one floors up, and serves delicious gourmet meals and cocktails. These are expensive by Thai standards, but cheap enough for shoestring travellers to indulge in now and then (a cocktail costs around AUD$12). I’ve spent hour after hour in the bar, drinking and smoking and taking in the amazing view. Most nights at Vertigo end the same, with fast-moving storm clouds rolling in without fail at about eleven pm. While wait staff scurry to move tables, and drunken diners navigate the steep stairs down to the safety of the hotel, the more hardy can sit and watch the clouds race closer and closer towards the building, soaking in both the atmosphere and the rainwater until the lightning gets too close for comfort.
This is an amazing international contemporary art website. It’s kinda like a long list of images and videos that’s updated daily.
Austin-based Future Clouds and Radar, the eclectic art-pop ensemble headed by Robert Harrison, has recently released its sophomore recording, Peoria. Where their self-titled debut album showed Harrison as the central figure in a large musical cast, Future Clouds and Radar’s latest offering finds the core band focusing their kaleidoscopic vision into a single cinematic narrative about the illusory nature of mortality. Throughout, Harrison stays true to his genre-hopping eclecticism, leading the journey through a maze of fuzz-box vocals and ethereal keys.
