Peter Knetter has spent years asking old machines to do a modern job. His series, YouTube in, treats a console or a dusty operating system as a whole production desk. A few days ago, he posted the one fans had been waiting on. ‘YouTube in Game Boy‘ documents his journey to make a YouTube video […]
Steven at 3D Printer Academy spent close to a year tearing up his own desktop pinball machine and starting over. The first one, sold as file packs after a spring Kickstarter that drew about 1,500 backers and roughly $120,000, already proved a strange point.

Mitsubishi spent the late 1980s and early 1990s stretching the limits of glass and electron guns until a 40-inch direct-view tube became something you could actually buy. The CS4307 belongs to that short, expensive run of sets that sat at the top of the company’s American lineup in the mid-1990s. Few other makers even tried […]
It wasn’t only the players that felt the heat as the air temperature reached 35°C with a 41°C heat index (Picture: AP Photo/George Walker IV) NFL players were left with burning feet and even melting shoes after the artificial field beneath them reached a reported temperature of 156°F (69°C).

In 1994 Nintendo handed Scotland’s DMA Design a Kirby license and a Super NES Mouse and asked the studio to make a prequel.
