Are you sick of sitting around in your studio apartment alone, drunk, and wishing you had someone to play Rock Paper Scissors with? Well then you should consider returning my calls need to buy this t-shirt!

Some Swedish weirdo named Marc Stromberg has created an “Augmented Reality” shirt which allows you, the wearer, to visit a specific website, turn on your webcam, and have a creepy disembodied hand appear out of your chest. Kind of like The Ring, but this time you get to play Rock Paper Scissors.

You might think this is kind of pointless, but this means we’re that much closer to a Magic Mirror On The Wall scenario in which you have your own smiling, supportive affirmation right inside your t-shirt!

Or scathing, mocking bully. Your choice.

First of all, we’ll warn you. Creeper World isn’t a game. It’s a simulation, designed to train you Last Starfighter style to fight against a strange alien ooze that is taking over a poor helpless planet. You’ve got to make a network of relays, collectors and weapons to make a stand long enough to activate the teleporter so that your octagonal city can escape.

Despite your pushy text-based drill sergeant, all you’re really going to learn is that the people of Creeper World are big babies. Once you get a blaster next to the ooze portal, you can pretty much shut it down for good. What’s wrong, Creepians? Scared of a little elbow grease? A laser and a security guard and your planet is fine!

Even still, Creeper World is pretty darn fun. And when you get the lasers set up correctly, the game can keep the ooze locked down for hours, meaning you can hide the window when your boss walks in the room and come back to finish the battle later. So get playing right now! The poor people of Creeper World need YOU!

On February 1st, back in 2003, conga player Mongo Santamaria passed on. Like all jazz drummers, some people have never even heard of him. But those who knew his name remember him fondly.

After the jump, we’ve complied a little bit more, primarily as a tribute to the man himself. But we also hope you’ll find this a way to clear out those Monday morning blues. Get out those headphones and enjoy!

Mongo Santamaria was born in the Cuba of the early 20th Century, and he liked to bang on things with his hands. That’s the story of hundreds of percussionists, probably. But not all those percussionists play music like this:

In these songs (which hopefully stay up long enough for you to hear them completely) you’ll find passion and an honest joy, and that could be one of the reasons why Mongo Santamaria is still being sampled even today. He’s also credited with being one of the major figures in bringing Afro-Cuban rhythms into R&B and Soul, which means he’s sort of connected to almost every hip hop artist today. Even if his music isn’t your thing, you can’t deny that’s one heck of an honor.

We know, of course, that a few quick paragraphs will never do the man justice through words. But why would a drummer really care about words? If you want to learn his history, look him up. If you want to enjoy his legacy, listen to the music.

Thanks for the music, Mongo Santamaria. And rest in peace.

No Frog Left Behind

All right, that’s it. I told you what would happen if I found another encyclopedia hidden under your mattress. No more Didj for a week.

Don’t bother begging. Maybe after a week without solving any addition, subtraction, multiplication and division problems with the included Jet Pack Heroes game, you’ll knuckle down and get serious about your responsibilities around here. Have you even looked at all those Ultimate Fighting bouts on the TiVo? Or even one episode of Hurl? No, I didn’t think so.

You better not even think about creating any custom spelling lists or playing any of the rest of the extensive line of Didj learning games (sold separately). Don’t even touch the styling skins or the jelly case. If your father and I find you using your Didj to sharpen your math, spelling, and language skills and totally ignoring the TV, well, little mister, don’t think we won’t wash your mouth out with the DVD box set of season 2 of VH1’s I Love Money. That’ll be a lesson you won’t forget.

Now, you know, your father and I approve of things like unlocking exclusive downloads and earning badges for in-game achievements. But not if it means you’re going to learn something. So while you’re taking this little vacation from your Didj, you better find some other video games to play instead of wasting time reading books or something. You’ll thank us when you get older.
