Aww Dip

Kotaku recently featured some image of modern movies imagined as Atari game cases. I am a huge sucker for making something new look old, as you can see in this other blog post.

I came across these images via StumbleUpon, and I have to say I was blown away. If more game covers looked like this, it would make the “games are art” argument much easier to make. Here are a few that jumped out at me, but they all look amazing. You can see everything here.

As I mentioned on Twitter a few days ago, I had forgotten to cancel a subscription to World of  Warcraft. I hopped on to the Blizzard account management site, and started filling out the forms necessary to stop the recurring charges to my credit card.

Apparently a nerf to WoTF was such a popular reason for quitting (or QQing if you will) that they had to add it to the drop-down box:

I recently came across a prototype of a video game that uses the exterior views of the passenger as the land bounderies for a flying ship. There have been many times as a child that I thought it would be fun to integrate the things I was seeing in with a video game I was playing.

The only thing I wonder is how this would be legal. I know most areas have specific laws governing the amount of visual interference the driver can have on the side windows.
