MOTAS: Mistery Of Time And Space Adventure

If you had a good time with Crimson Room / Viridiam Room you will enjoy this small but addictive Flash adventure game: MOTAS: Mistery Of Time And Space Adventure, from Jan Albartus. [via MetaFilter]

Seems I lost my skills on this kind of games -- I didn't manage to get out from the first room :-(

Office Wars

Via Boing Boing just found the best parody of this season, and a double geek cult remake: Office Wars, combining Office Space with the Star Wars characters:

"Darth Vader is the bad boss, Jar Jar Binks is the stapler guy and R2-D2 is the bad printer." [Vídeo Windows Media, 7 MB from ianddavids.com | mirror 1 | mirror 2 | mirror 3 | original mirror antiguo]

Apart from Milton and Bill there are lots of other characters, including Chewbacca, Yoda, C3PO and many, many Jedis going to the office -- just as the rest of us does every day.

Implosion World

The best of ImposionWorld.com is without a doubt the video gallery. There is also a small photo gallery but the pictures are small and not so amazing:

"(...) Here you'll see implosion photographs divided out by category. Yes. Categories include hotels, silos, hospitals, public housing, and sports venues, of course (...) If you'd rather see videos, check out the Implosion Live! version of the site. Here you'll find archived Webcasts for several implosions over the last few years (...) Other offerings include implosion world records, "blasts from the past" (brief articles on famous demolitions) and information on implosion/demolition media and exhibitions. Amazing."
