The princess isn’t in this castle! Just ask the doormat!

Imagine running, jumping and diving through hazardous levels while malicious turtles and mushrooms have it in for you. And now imagine the princess, the sole reason for your endeavors, not waiting for you at the end of the level… Pretty frustrating, isn’t it?

Nevertheless, many people have fond memories of this classic jump ‘n’ run situation and the sentence “Sorry, but your princess is in another castle!” has become a running gag.

If you like reminiscing about the times when you could count the pixels by hand, you can bring a piece of videogame history right into your home with the Your Princess is in Another Castle Doormat.

Game Boy Screen Becomes Art Venue

A recent Finnish art exhibition harnessed an unusual medium: the Game Boy screen.

“Memory Limits” at the Finnish Museum of Games challenged artists to create a work that could be displayed on the handheld console’s 160 x 144 pixel screen. They had only four colours to work with, each a shade of green.

The museum noted that for many youngsters, the Game Boy was “their first private screen on which adventures could be had, often without the interference of parents.” It pointed out that players needed “a bit of imagination to bring these pixelated realms to life” and that the same was true for the artists and audience in the exhibition.

Housed at the Vapriikki Museum, the Finnish Museum of Games includes a permanent exhibition of more than 100 games (video and physical), 60 of them playable.

Insane 2022 Limb-Breaking Cheese Rolling Contest Returns After Two-Year Hiatus

Ater a two-year hiatus due to COVID restrictions, Cooper’s Hill (Brockworth, Gloucestershire, UK) Cheese-Rolling contest is back, and as you’ll see in the video below, it’s just as crazy as it was in the past.

Footage of this years’ cheese rolling contest in Gloucestershire, UK. A special Jubilee edition of the ‘race’ took place today (June 5) in the Gloucestershire town of Brockworth, near Gloucester. There were several injuries, including a reported broken leg.

Participants race down the 200-yard-long hill after a round of Double Gloucester cheese is sent rolling down it. The event was traditionally held by and for the people who live in the local village of Brockworth, but now people from all over the world take part. The event is thought to be around 600 years old.
