This is a small series of Alfred Hitchcock films re-imagined by artist Joe Spiotto as Nintendo game box art. I can only find 3 but they are awesome!

Things That Pissed Me Off Today. Episode I

In no particular order.

1. I had to go back to work after 7 weeks holidays.
   
   
2. Had a PD Training session on exactly the same shit I had to do last year. The highlight of the day was watching two, poor quality YouTube videos, both of which I had seen years earlier. One of the videos claimed that My Space had over 200 million users - it was that old.
   
   
3. I was forced to sit through a poorly designed PowerPoint presentation which contained "Lime Green" titles in Comic Sans font with a body text a mixture of Times New Roman and Helvetica.
   
   
4. It was a lovely day today. Sunny, but not too hot, a light breeze and birds were out making the most of it. That didn't piss me off. Sitting in a room facing big windows while listening to bullshit and looking out on a lovely day, thinking about my brand new PS3 at home did.
   
   
5. The title "Intercultural Awareness Iceberg." WHAT DOES THAT EVEN MEAN? It's almost like... I don't know. We had to draw on a picture of an iceberg and place some shit where we thought it belonged for some reason or other. I didn't perform this task. Instead I drew on a Post-It note a cartoon of a Velociraptor saying "RAWR" at a Brontosaur instead. I couldn't find it when I came back from a break. *Sigh*
   
   
6. My mum lives in Townsville, Queensland. There is a Catergory 5 cyclone on it's way there. I called and texted her. No reply. My sister lives in nearby Townsville. She texted back saying she was OK and in Adelaide with her baby daughter. My brother in law was staying behind, but was on his way to a shelter. I got home and called and texted mum again. No reply. I texted my sister to see if she knew where mum was. Mum's in New Zealand. On a Boat Cruise.

Obama Challenges Kids To Design Video Games

Gamers have been advocating the positive effects of video games for years, but today the industry received a considerably more powerful backer: the President of the United States.
Today President Obama announced the launch of the National STEM Video Game Challenge, which aims to motivate children in science, technology, engineering, and math departments with the use of video games. The challenge is being held by the Joan Ganz Cooney Center and E-Line Media, with the help of the ESA, Microsoft, and AMD.

"Our success as a nation depends on strengthening America’s role as the world’s engine of discovery and innovation," said President Obama. "I applaud partners in the National STEM Video Game Challenge for lending their resources, expertise, and their enthusiasm to the task of strengthening America’s leadership in the 21st century by improving education in science, technology, engineering and math."

There are two competitions in this year's challenge: A Youth Prize, which tasks middle school students with designing their own video game; and a Developer Prize, which challenges game developers to create educational games for young children. The National STEM Video Game Challenge runs until January 5.
