Interactive Interstellar

For the record: I really, really liked the movie Interstellar. Or, at least, everything up to the stupid ending. 

That aside, this is a really fun little website that lets you fly into and through the wormhole from the movie in 3D. Playing with the distortions of spacetime is fun and helps give you a tangible sense of how space itself can possibly be "bent."

PS: the black hole in the distance can be explored too...

This section of the Internet Archive collects a bunch of super retro video games for anyone to play. There is also a section of vintage PC games, including Wolfenstein and Doom. In coming years, they expect to add more and more games. Great time killer (like anyone needs help killing more time these days) and reminder that graphics aren't everything.

If you recognize this you are either a game hipster or very old.

Kill some time trying not to get killed by the giant meteor that's fucking all the shit up.

You are a dinosaur. Right is safe. Left is apocalypse. The rest is a really good game.

So there's this new videogame that is kind of what might have happened if Frank Miller and Tarantino had a love child. It's the 60s and the Nazis won. You're pissed about that and aim to do something about it. 

And to advertise it, they created a fake recording label with all sorts of 60s hits as they might have sounded if they were written with the Third Reich in charge. Creepy, funny and totally weird.
