It's time to play Minecraft with a Bop It

May 29, 2021

It's time to play Minecraft with a Bop It

Gamepads? Old news. Keyboards? Too many buttons. Mice? Too much control over your input. When you wanna play Minecraft, you need to do it with a 90s children's toy, and luckily, one person has made that possible. If you ever wanted to play Minecraft with a Bop It, that is apparently possible - all it takes is an amount of programming knowledge and a willingness to do a lot bopping, twisting, and pulling.

Seth Altobelli breaks down the Bop It controller process in the video below (via Kotaku), but basically it involves replacing the toy's internal electronics ...

Watch Isaiah Rashad Cook Up a Fierce Freestyle with Kenny Beats on 'The Cave'

May 29, 2021

Isaiah Rashad delivers a loose, cadence-flipping performance in his appearance on the producer's hit Youtube series.

After nearly a year off the air, Kenny Beats welcomed Isaiah Rashad to the studio in the season three premiere of The Cave.

The session had all the trimmings of a pretty standard run with Kenny. As a good grip of weed gets burned, the producer stitches together a beat on the spot while the guest jots down a few bars for the booth. "Let's do some indie mixed with some hip-hop mixed with a whole bunch of bass," the rapper asks ...

Lost arcade game preserved for the first time in the latest MAME release

Lost arcade game preserved for the first time in the latest MAME release

Just as 'Doom clone' became an entire genre in the mid-90s, the world of 80s arcade games was dominated by Pac-Man-likes. Some were brazen knock-offs, but the broader idea of controlling a character getting chased through a maze defined about a zillion of the era's quarter-munchers. But some of them never made it to market, and that includes Mrs. Dynamite, which has just been preserved for the first time in the latest MAME release.

Mrs. Dynamite appears to have only been available in location tests back in the 80s, though given the poor records of the era, it's tough ...

World of Aircraft: Glider Simulator review — Simple skies

May 29, 2021

World Of Aircraft Glider Simulator Soaring AboveI've been flying virtually since I was a kid. Through simulators, I've piloted tiny trainers like the Cessna 172 to massive behemoths like the Airbus A380. But, there's one category of aircraft that I often never bothered with: gliders. Gliders are exactly what they sound like: they're built to take advantage of wind currents in order to fly. To achieve this, gliders have huge wings, slender fuselages,  and are also very lightweight. They're essentially the sailboats of the skies. The reason why I didn't bother with them much in any sim before is because gliders just seemed kind of ...

Her sophomore LP, Monthly Friend (out now via Hand in Hive), melds the ambient textures of that version and the indie pop sensibilities of the original, drawing inspiration from the likes of Elliott Smith and Soccer Mommy to create a more intimate soundscape suffused ...

Grand Theft: Greenpeace Activists "Steal" Keys From 1000 New ICE Cars Awaiting Shipment In Port

It's accessible enough that anyone can pick it up and grasp the basics fairly quickly, but there's also a lot of nuances to allow for more complex strategies that can separate beginners from the more advanced players. ...

Biomutant devs say upcoming patch will improve basically everything that's bad

Biomutant's bizarre world, gorgeous vistas, and diverse combat options drew plenty of interest ahead of release - it certainly looked awesome in hands-off previews - but then it came out, and… well, I don't need to reissue our entire Biomutant review here. Suffice to say the game was a disappointment, and the devs are working on a big patch to address many of the complaints.

"We are working on an update for Biomutant which we will hope to get into players' hands soon," the devs say in a tweet. "Most likely we will be able to deliver the ...

A Tale of Two Irises

Irises, with their large, exotic-looking flowers waving atop tall stems, are among the showiest early summer blooms. Most of North America's nearly 30 native iris species are found in the southeastern states and on the Pacific coast; but a few irises grow in the northern woodlands. The most common are the native blue iris or blue flag iris (Iris versicolor) and the invasive yellow iris (Iris pseudacorus).

5 Foundations Of Starting A Career In Tattooing

May 29, 2021

There used to be a time when tattooing was seen as not only an undesirable profession but an unskilled one too. This was because people didn't know much about it, tattoos themselves were seen as "bad" or a symbol of the dangerous underbelly of society. 

Not anymore.

Whether people like tattoos or not, most would now acknowledge that tattooing is a kind of artistry. It takes skill, patience, and precision to become a great tattoo artist, and it takes hard work to break into the profession and create a stable career. But with U.S. citizens spending USD$1.65 billion a ...

Help Protect Nesting Birds in Your Field or Yard

May 29, 2021

Help Protect Nesting Birds in Your Field or Yard

In the spring and summer many species of birds will set up nests in shrubs (catbirds and common yellowthroats) and on tree limbs (robins, orioles, or vireos). Chickadees, nuthatches, or woodpeckers may be nesting in tree cavities. These nests may be hard to spot from the ground. To protect birds, wait until the fall to cut or prune trees and shrubs if possible. Birds such as house wrens, phoebes, and Carolina wrens often get creative and build nests on decks, porches, or sheds.

A Mountain Prayer

I kneel so that I may remember this

remember the way I felt listened to.

So I close my eyes and breathe in the aroma

I smell peeled apple and peppermint, moss
and dried roses, orange blossom water in my throat
and I taste the words of the mountain, a few drops
that make me swirl in wild silence

the mountain is calm, always
in the way it notices the offerings of mortals
it stands untouched, in my arms
as a hay field ...
