Up-to-the-two-months-ago tech news!!!!

I sort of forgot to "report" on this when I got it, but this is still as good as it was when it was released. I'm just going to assume that you guys don't read the other game-news websites.



I have the best screensaver of all time, not counting future screensavers that read your mind and display your fondest memories presented as breakdancing performances. And you can get it here, for free.



A little background, to help answer questions you may have, such as "What is this?", "What are you talking about?" and "Why is my life so unsatisfying?"




These guys, who call themselves Buro Vormkrijgers (I'm quitting linguistics, so I don't have to pretend I can pronounce that anymore) built a clock that is basically a wall-mounted screen displaying a game of Pong. Every hour, the left player scores, and every minute, the right player scores, so that the score is the time. To me, this seems like an electronic version of how the continuous movement of a regular clock's gears also happens to cause a time display on the clock face; I can't explain it without a bunch of hand-waving and "I don't know"-ing. But I'll assume you get why it's so cool, unless you are a horrible person who is dead inside.



Oh, and you can play Pong against the clock. This is good for me because there are some rooms of my apartment that do not yet contain video game systems, causing me to go for painful amounts of time with only as many handheld systems as I can fit into my pockets to sustain me. It would really help if there were some sort of emergency game on a nearby wall.



The cost is only 199 Euro, which converts to no fucking way dollars.



If you clicked the first link, though, you already know the best part of this: they also released the Pong Clock as a free screensaver, ensuring that nobody will ever buy their ridiculously expensive clock. If you have a fancy LCD or something you don't need a screensaver for, I don't fucking want to hear about it.
