Sword wielding chick in underwear, meets pixelated space invaders, meets Tron CGI, meets 80′s cartoons, meets awesome electronic soundtrack and a bewildering storyline. Whats not to like.

Looks like a lot of fun:

littleBits is an opensource library of discrete electronic components pre-assembled in tiny circuit boards. Just as Legos allow you to create complex structures with very little engineering knowledge, littleBits are simple, intuitive, space-sensitive blocks that make prototyping with sophisticated electronics a matter of snapping small magnets together. With a growing number of available modules, littleBits aims to move electronics from late stages of the design process to its earliest ones, and from the hands of experts, to those of artists, makers and designers.

Well they certainly don’t make them like this anymore. The actor who plays Buck has such natural acting ability.

Thank the lord for the flash ray which works at the speed of lightning.

I looked round. A father was Sellotaping his son into an enormous Tupperware crate. Another mother had wrapped herself in newspaper and masking tape, leaving a hand free to seal up a cardboard box from the inside. I saw an older brother push a younger brother into a poster tube. A girl was wrapping her hamster up in red paper. A boy was individually wrapping his socks and Top Trumps cards. A family of 26 were rolling a dice to see who would get to go in the crate that hadn’t originally been used to carry vegetables. And all of them were smiling.
