INTERNET ARCADE

The Internet Arcade is a web-based library of arcade (coin-operated) video games from the 1970s through the 1990s. An astounding 900 games have made avilable for you to play right in your browser. The software is hostef by the Internet Archive as part of its quest to preserve computer history. There are no glossy instructions, so you wil need to figure some things out on your own. The basics are simple though: press “5” to insert coin, and press “1” to choose a single player game. Your arrow keys will move you around and the ALT key is typically the action button.

PRIMITIVE TECH

Primitive Technology is a hypnotic, wordless series of videos filmed by a man in the woods in Australia making things. From a fired pot to a tiled hut, all made by hand with no modern toold. Pro tip: descriptions of the process are in the subtitles, but be warned, you’ll lose the zen factor of it all.
