Adding joy(stick) to all your games by 8Bitdo

toma — Wed, 14 Jun 2017 04:39:27 +0000

You really gotta love 8Bitdo for clutching onto and reviving our golden, glorious gaming history. I would spend hours at the arcade, even sometimes stealing money from home only to cash it in for a chance to play everything from Pac-Man and Asteroid to Metal Slug and Tekken. Through all of that, there’s only one thing that remained a key binding agent between all those experiences… it was the arcade controllers. The Joystick, and the Arcade buttons were designed to do two things; be effective with low latency, and be effective under incredibly rough usage, because those high scores don’t come easy!

With 8Bitdo’s NES30 Arcade Stick, that very controller which pretty much initiated our generation into games gets its application in almost every game we can play today. Compatible with the Nintendo Switch, Windows, Android, MacOS, and even Steam, the NES30 Arcade Stick is a wireless controller that brings retro-controls to new-age games. Ultra compatable, and even mod-able/customizeable, one can set up the arcade stick with most devices and games. The controller comes with a classic joystick and Japanese Sanwa buttons, the most widely used arcade buttons of the 80s and 90s. It supports Bluetooth and has an impressive play-time of 18 hours, because once you get your hands on these guys, you’re not going to want to let go!

The Creative Reading Net by Playoffice

How to interest children in books? Library for children in your home. A traditional family library has been transformed into an appealing place for kids by the creative Madrid-based studio, Playoffice designing exclusively kids spaces that encourage learning through playing.

“Reading Net” is a wonderful way to show kids that reading can be fun and entertaining. It makes the boundaries between playing and reading disappear. A cute trick to keep them “busy”.

Kids perceive the world differently: our rules and limits don’t make sense to them. Reading Playoffice’s manifesto we get to see also why. For kids, the world we live in is a wonderful and enormous playground: walls are for painting, bathtubs for swimming, furniture is for climbing. In this colourful universe of endless possibilities, a suspended “hideout” such as the Reading Net, where kids can sit, lay down or even hang upside down sounds like fun.

“The possibility of “holding” the moon, and more importantly, the romantic possibility of giving it to our loved ones form the magic offered by this product. I Will Promise You The Moon. The inflated moon is a large PVC ball (22 inches in diameter) on which is printed the image of the moon.”

Cléon Daniel about project:

“I remember getting stuck in the snow with half a giant banana in the car in january, and breaking down in a flood on the way to the workshop too, but it’s all been worth it for the interest on people’s faces when they see the finished piece.”
