The Artist is Present is our browser game of the week

Pippin Barr’s The Artist is Present isn’t really a game — it’s more of a bizarre recreation of an already weird performance art piece by Marina Abramović. You’ve probably heard of it, if you haven’t seen it yourself. The game takes its title (and its premise) from the 736-hour performance…

Tradesmart wants to sell you media like its 1995

It would seem the ’90s are going to come back, whether we like it or not. This apparently doesn’t just mean flannel shirts and Velcro shoes; the recently opened Tradesmart, 8500 West Crestline Avenue in Littleton, hopes to also bring you the shopping experience you might remember from that decade…

The ten dumbest dinosaur movie taglines

T. Rex Encounter is opening at the Denver Museum of Nature and Science tomorrow, the new exhibit, which features robotic, interactive dinosaurs has got us rather excited.

Flee Buster is the browser game of the week

Chevy Ray Johnston’s Flee Buster is one of the most addictive games we’ve ever touched. Which is saying quite a bit considering it was built for Ludom Dare 21, a 48-hour game design contest in which it also took one of the top prizes over nearly 600 other entries. It’s…

A Manhunt Manifesto

In Benjamin Runkle’s new book, Wanted Dead or Alive: Manhunts From Geronimo to Bin Laden, he tries to bring to light not just the most wanted men in U.S. history, but also the soldiers who hunted them down. While much of this history has been covered, Runkle’s spin adds a…
