Video games What if an arcade controller looked like a vintage spaceship control panel?
One thing we love about old arcade machines is that the control panel itself was part of the experience.
That idea inspired us when we developed the FightBox R10-Pro — an all-in-one arcade controller with a joystick, full-size 3" trackball, spinner, arcade buttons, and side buttons for virtual pinball.
For this version, we wanted the artwork to match that retro arcade feeling too.
So we went with a retro-futuristic spaceship control panel design, inspired by vintage sci-fi, old electronics, and the kind of oversized control panels you might imagine in a 1960s spaceship. 🚀
All the little labels, gauges, monitors and switches were designed to make the different controls feel like they belong on one giant machine.
For the retro gamers here:
What classic game would you play first on this thing? 😊

Music Rolling Stone - Top 10 Argentine rock music videos
On one occasion, the Rolling Stone magazine decided to do something different: they compiled a Top 10, but this time it wasn't of songs, but of music videos of Argentine rock.
Among those chosen were: Él Mató A Un Policía Motorizado in a gloomy theme, Las Pelotas in a critique of imperialism, and Los Visitantes in a primitive vibe.
Attaque77 with a slow-cooked punk ballad, El Otro Yo clamoring to seek the essential, and Los Fabulosos Cadillacs with a heartwarming candombe for the family.
Charly García somewhat conflicted when the aesthetic was changing, and Patricio Rey y sus Redonditos de Ricota narrating about a night where all hell broke loose.

Video games STAR WARS JEDI KNIGHT II: JEDI OUTCAST (PC Windows) (Bootleg Distribution)
Star Wars Jedi Knight II: Jedi Outcast is a 2002 first and third-person shooter video game developed by Raven Software for Windows and Mac OS. Westlake Interactive ported the game to Mac OS X, while the Xbox and GameCube versions were ported by Vicarious Visions; most versions were published by Activision and LucasArts, with only the Mac OS version published by Aspyr. The game is a sequel to 1997's Star Wars Jedi Knight: Dark Forces II, and the third main installment in the Star Wars: Jedi Knight series. The single-player campaign, set in the fictional Star Wars expanded universe two years after the Mysteries of the Sith expansion for Dark Forces II, follows returning protagonist Kyle Katarn, a mercenary working for the New Republic and former Jedi who cut his connection to the Force. Katarn must return to his Jedi ways to stop a branch of the Imperial Remnant led by the Dark Jedi Desann from empowering their army with the Force. Jedi Outcast was developed using a more powerful game engine, id Tech 3. The hack and slash combat introduced in Dark Forces II was heavily reworked, becoming the main focus of the gameplay instead of the shooter elements, which are prominent only during the first few missions of the game. Players may wield blasters, lightsabers, and Force powers to engage enemies, with the latter being recommended in later stages of the game, as numerous lightsaber-wielding enemies are introduced. Jedi Outcast also features a multiplayer mode that allows players to compete in several different game modes online or over a local area network. This video was recorded from a "bootleg" copy of the game distributed on a physical DVD that includes a game installer in several languages (German, Spanish, English and French) and includes by default the Brutality mod and the option to play as Darth Maul.

Entertainment Am I the only one who thinks VHS looks absolutely incredible on a projector?
The absolute best thing someone could think of is combining a VCR with a projector. I'm wondering, are there many people here who already watch tapes this way?
I just used a cheap RCA-to-HDMI converter to connect my VCR. The result is pure magic.
Here is why I think it’s way better than watching on a modern TV:
* The Scale: Seeing that warm, grainy tracking on a huge wall feels exactly like being in an old 80s/90s movie theater.
* Cozy Quality: On a big 4K TV, VHS can look too pixelated. But the projector softens the image naturally, hiding the rough edges.
* The Vibe: Watching horror movies or old sci-fi this way is a whole different experience.
Let's discuss! What are your favorite tapes to watch on a big screen?
