I've seen these following videos a long time ago and I can't believe I didn't post this blindfolded pianist playing the medley of Mario tunes.

Game: Super Crazy Guitar Maniac Deluxe 2

This music-beat following game is a watered down version of Guitar Hero. And it keeps up with the best of them by having great music selection and rocking tracks. Most of the roxxin songs need to be unlocked though.

Micro Power Generator

A sugar-cube-sized electric generator that feeds on environmental vibrations has been developed. It could power swarms of wireless sensors or even medical implants, researchers claim.

Imagine having this somewhere on your car, the vibrations can now be used to power up some blinking lights! It's not much power really. But give the engineers a few years and things might get interesting.

Game: Champion Archer

Play as the only archer in this battlefield. Support your troops to reach the other side.

Use WASD to move around and click and hold to shoot your arrow. I recommend getting the 'remove power bar' skill as soon as you can.

Kinetic / Robots

This robot is bug like and responds to front objects and sound. The hex bug from Bandai.


This automation is made entirely of paper except for the motor. Extremely horselike movement. Creepy.


And this is the mother of all kinetic sculptors. The size itself is stunning and the movements are hypnotic.
