Caine’s Cardboard Arcade Gets Upgraded

Caine’s Arcade, mentioned a couple days ago, got a lot of traction. Caine had the opportunity to visit Pins and Needles, a pinball arcade, where owner Molly offered him his choice of a free pinball machine. A fund was also started for Caine to go to college fund where over $100,000 have already been pledged. What a heart warming story. More details can be found at TMZ.

I found the update from TheDailyWh.at

A good look at something that is dead in America, ARCADES! I grew up near a Golf n Stuff called Camelot and my weekends were spent playing all these video games. I really miss them.

CNC Passion

A 6 year adventure into the world of CNC fabrication. [Michal]‘s story spans his downfalls and successes into fabricating gears, and eventually robots. I wish I had the drive and the passion that he has for his hobby. A ‘computer geek by day’ as well, I yearn for the motivation and the ability to master a craft the way [Michal] has done. Read-up it’s an encouraging story…

I saw this on Makezine.com and thought it was totally awesome. I’m currently building a game room into my garage for LAN parties with my friends, but this is so much cooler. This kid has some great creativity. Check out the video, it’s cute and inspiring.

Freemium Done Right : League of Legends

Lan — Thu, 29 Mar 2012 08:54:10 +0000

I’ve finally found the freemium (free – pay for premium) I’m willing to pay for! League of Legends (LOL) is a MOBA (Multiplayer Online Battle Arena) game modeled after the Warcraft 3 map (Defense of the Ancients, DOTA) What I absolutely love about this game is under the free model you are able to compete and participate in all game aspects. The only thing you really can’t get with the free account is vanity items, in this case skins to change the way characters look. Go check it out. Sign up here! I hope to post some beginner tips and tricks as well as Champion Guides in the near future. In the mean time check out LOLPRO.com and League of Legends Wiki to get you started.

It’s sad, but we’ve all done it. What else are you supposed to do when you’re not gonna make it? Look into his eyes and see the betrayal!
