Asteroids lamp

If you’re into your retro gaming, but don’t want all the cutesy characters or are fed up of blocks, maybe this is for you.

Apparently, it’s… “An angular plastic encased light, the Asteroid is a unique floor, or table light, designed with 24 facets — each with its own unique geometry. The lamp can be placed on several of the facets, to display as an individual, unique piece, as you like.”

If left on the floor, I imagine some would want to give it a boot. Some? …well, I would. If I’m to go the Asteroids route, I’d rather have the table. But then again, I already have a table!

Asteroids lamps are $176 from Design Public.

Game of the week… ROM CHECK FAIL

From now on, Thursday will see the new Game-of-the-week feature. It might be early, it might be late, or it might miss a week or two. Is anyone reading this anyway…?

Ok, so I came across this a few weeks ago via IndieGames.com. ‘ROM CHECK FAIL’ is all about a multi-game gone wrong. Reminiscent, in it’s relentless speed at which you battle through mini-games, of Wario Ware. Clear the screen of baddies to progress.
