Creative Solutions For Artists Who Can’t Draw Hands
I used to draw quite a bit when I was younger, and somehow I managed to get good grades in art in school. Since then, I have gone from pencil to mouse.

NES Beads: The World Of NES Games In Stop Motion Beads
It's been done for many years now, and it comes in several different forms and shapes. The materials used are always different, but the technique used is the same.

World’s Most Kick Ass Insert Coin Animation With Real Coins
I remember playing the arcade games, especially the pinball machines, in the arcade halls when I was younger. Unfortunately, most of them were closed and shut down long ago.

Kick back and press play on that cassette player you so lovingly create mixtapes for. Let the boom become the rhythm of your body and make sure your neighbors join in on the fun.

Do you remember cassette tapes? They are little plastic rectangles that fit in a tape recorder, and they play music. Seriously, I bet there are people who read this blog that have never seen a cassette tape before. I know my son, who is 9 years old, has never seen one or even heard of one.

The Real Murder Game Controller: Gone Too Far?
I was a big gamer back in the day, but back then, ten years ago, it was different than it is today. Since then, I've kind of lost interest since so much of the games are all about killing and violence.
