Happy Friday!
Here's my aggregate of things I've read this week. Because who wants to think when they can link?
If you don't read any of the others, this link explains a lot of the things I yammer about concerning educational games. So if you're confused about what I do, I do something along the lines of that.
- Top 50 Essential Nonfiction Books for Weirdos Don't agree with all of these, but it's an interesting list nonetheless.
- Weapons-based Notebooks I find this cute, but I'm a little twisted. XD
- Corset X-Rays from 1908 Ouch?
- Experimental e-lit from around the world
- Unsung Heroes: Nancy Wake. Hello plotbunny. Maybe someday I will write a WWII infused story, since I'm mildly obsessed with it (sad, but true).
- Reality is Broken Remember that video about how gaming can change the world? Well, Jane McGonigal wrote a book now! I haven't started reading it yet, but I did buy the ebook.
- Data analysis on trolling Trigger warning for mentions of rape.
- Mental disabilities and higher ed. Yet another reminder that the system is broken.
- Nerdcore Now Free download of some nerdcore musics.
- Best questions for first dates. Odd correlations from OKCupid.
- Hot and Sour Lemongrass Soup with Mushrooms and Tofu. Tasty sounding soup that is good for colds. I may be making some of this if my stomach doesn't clear up soon.
- Custom LEGO minifigs based on videogame characters Cute!
- Fitness for people who hate exercise. Like me! My plan is actually to combine gaming with a treadmill and Wii Sports again, because I do not feel healthy. :<
- Strangers 1800: Music from Spaghetti Westerns
- Extremely METAL greeting cards
- Guidelines for workwear across the working spectrum For ladyfolk. Because it's not as simple as a suit and tie (well, I do that, but that's ME).
- Bill Nye on Science Education. Because the single best talk I saw in college was Bill Nye making some NASA product hack guy look like an idiot. LOVE YOU BILL NYE.
- Game concept videogame sketches blog
And in free/cheap indie games that look interesting news, here's a couple adventure games!
- Scarlett and the Spark of Life (iPhone/iPad) I really like that classic-style adventure games are making a comeback on phones.
- Life Flashes By (Windows/Mac/Linux) Haven't started it, but the fact that the main character is a middle-aged woman was enough to hook me.
