Out There: Indies going cheap

Plus, 130 title screen GIFs and the evolutionary biology of Hyrule.

Indie RPG developer Jeff Vogel explains why he's decided to lower all the prices for his games, across the board, and why he sells at twice the price on his website compared to Steam.

Following wide demand, Jude Buffum is now offering unlimited numbers of copies of his Magna Arbor Vitae Deku poster (pictured in part above), which visually traces the evolutionary biology of Hyrule.

In the same spirit, here's a colour wheel of scenes from the original Metroid by Andrew Wilson, also available as prints.

This is wonderful: 130 animated GIFs of classic title screens.

In 1971, Nintendo released the Light Telephone, a two-way walkie-talkie that worked through picking up your voice by microphone and flashing the signal through a torch, while detecting incoming light and converting it back into sound. Useless, and awesome.
