 Last month the gaming world called in sick. It was just too much. There were too many games to play and something had to give and that something was work. There will always be work, but video games have to be played when they're released - before they get moldy or something.
How's June look? Well, it looks like June might continue the slump in worker productivity that started in May.
Get your debit cards ready and work on your fake cough. Here are some of the top game releases in June:
Red Faction: Armageddon  releases June 7 for the PC, Xbox, and PS3
Did anyone think Red Faction was a great game? Eh, it was okay. Maybe a little better than okay. At the least, it was good enough to earn itself a sequel.
Prediction: Red Faction: Armageddon will be a little better than the original, but still not a great game.
inFAMOUS 2 releases June 7 only on the PS3
Times are hard over at Sony. DC Universe Online was a fail, PS3 sales are giving up ground to the Xbox faster than Kirstie Alley gives up on her diet, and, oh, there's that whole Playstation Network debacle thingy.
The first inFAMOUS was both successful and critically acclaimed. Will inFAMOUS 2 be a bright spot in Sony's bleak year and pump some life into flagging PS3 sales?
Prediction: No. Look for inFAMOUS 3 on the Xbox.
Alice: Madness Returns releases June 14 for the PC, Xbox, and PS3
For lots of reasons, none of them good ones, there's a serious dearth of female leads in gaming. Welcome back, Alice. Gamers missed you.
Maybe when Alice: Madness Returns rings up monstrous gaming bucks, the corporate shills will get that gamers don't care what sex their heroes are as long as they're fun to play.

The 5 Best Selling Video Games of 2011: Gamers Get Off the Couch

 
Quickly, now. Name one of the top 5, best-selling video games of 2011. Any one will do. Go ahead.
Did you say Dragon Age II? Nope. Wrong answer. That one's wide of the mark. Killzone, maybe? That's a little closer. Call of Duty. Ohhhh. Almost. Still no, though.
The top 5 best-selling games of 2011 through April according to VGChartz are:

1. Pokemon Black/White Version for the DS.
   Go ahead and laugh, but Pokemon rules.
2. Kinect Adventures (X360)
3. Just Dance 2 (Wii)
4. Wii Sports (Wii)
5. Wii Sports Resort (Wii)
   

Activision-Blizzard's Call of Duty for the 360 squeaks in at position 6*. Killzone comes in at 7 and Dragon Age 2 is all the way down the chart at number 18. (And, by the way, if you're one of those traditionalists still doing all your gaming on a PC, PC video game sales barely register on the charts. Consoles rule.)
Have been you looking down your nose at the Wii? Not what you'd call gaming?
Well, you better get off the sofa, tubby. The Wii changed everything and the Microsoft has joined the game. Those silly little Wii controllers have brought a whole lot of new people into gaming and they're not sitting on the sofa pew-pewing. They're dancing and bowling and playing tennis. They feel directly involved in the game they're playing.
Were you wondering why Microsoft introduced the Kinect? The answer is in those charts. Steve Ballmer and the rest of the Microsoft cabal might be soulless monopolists, but they're not fools.
There's no arguing  with success, and there's no denying the Wii has been monumentally successful. The Xbox 360 Kinect is going to take all those people who might look down their nose at motion gaming and bring them into the fold.



Soon, you might never think of sitting on the couch, again. The horror. The horror. Next thing you know, they'll make you go outside. In the sunlight. Ugh.
*The analytical types, also known at nit-picking know-it-alls, will notice we cheated a little. Game sales are based on the specific platforms, such as the Wii or the X360. If you combine, Call of Duty's sales across the X360, PS3, and PC, it assumes a a nice solid position just behind Pokemon at number 2.

Attacked, Burned Body President of Yemen

The attack comes amid execution Friday prayers last week.

President of Yemen, Ali Abdullah Saleh, suffered burns to 40 percent of his body. Her lungs were seriously wounded. This is a result of the attacks carried out his political opponents against a mosque, where Ali Abdullah worship.
This was conveyed by the Saudi Arabian diplomat who did not want to be named, as quoted by CNN, Monday, June 6, 2011. He said that Saleh was currently undergoing treatment at a hospital in Saudi Arabia.
The diplomat said that besides the burns and injuries to the lungs, Saleh also suffered injuries on his body as deep as seven inches. Allegedly, the wounds caused by bomb explosion at a mosque in the residence complex Saleh last Friday. As a result of this incident, three guards and a priest of the mosque Saleh were killed.
Eyewitnesses who did not want to be named, said the mosque is not in the bombs, but the two times when the missile was held Friday prayers. Allegedly, the attacks carried out by supporters of Sadeq al-Ahmar, tribal leaders and opponents of government hashed Saleh.
Yemeni troops hit back to the residence of Al-Ahmar, killing 10 people and wounding 35 others.
Vice President, Abed Rabbo Mansour Hadi, quoted by The Telegraph said that Saleh condition gradually improved and he is scheduled to go home within a few days. "The noble (Saleh) recover quickly and will return to Yemen in a few days," said Mansour.

Solar Eclipse Appeared Midnight

With the cloud covered, the midnight sun eclipse that look more beautiful.
 

Arare phenomenon occurred in Norway. If you usually see the solar eclipse occurred at noon, this time the solar eclipse occurred at midnight.

In Norway for example, with cloud shrouded eclipse which occurred at the beginning of this month looks more beautiful. Observed with H-alpha filter, the Sun is usually bright white when the daytime, visible red light.

A Servo-based 4-legged Walker

Build your own (needlessly tech) servomotor-driven 4-leg walker robot!

First, a warning: This bot is basically a microcontroller-brain version of the classic BEAM 4-legged walker. The BEAM 4-legger may be easier for you to make if you aren't already set up for microcontroller programming and just want to build a walker.

On the other hand, if you're getting started with microprocessor programming and have a couple servos kicking around, this here's your ideal project! You get to play with walker mechanics without having to worry about the fussy analog BEAM microcore tweaking.

So although this isn't really a BEAM bot, the following two webpages are great resources for any 4-legged walker:

Bram van Zoelen's 4-legged walker tutorial has a good overview of the mechanics and theory.
I took my leg design off his website.

Chiu-Yuan Fang's walker site is also pretty good for BEAM stuff and some more-advanced walker designs.

Done reading? Ready to get building?

Step 1Gather parts, measure, plan a bit

i

Making a 4-legged servowalker is pretty simple, parts-wise. Basically, you need two motors, legs, a battery, something to make the motors go back and forth, and a frame to hold them all.

Parts list:

2x Tower Hobbies TS-53 Servos
20in heavy copper wire : 12in for front legs, 8in for rear. I had 10-gauge. 12-gauge should work, but I'm guessing.
Battery is a 3.6v NiMH that was selling for cheap online.
The microcontroller brain is an AVR ATMega 8.
The frame is Sintra, which is hella cool. It's a plastic foamboard that bends when you heat it up in boiling water. You can cut it, drill it, matte-knife it, and then bend it to shape. I got mine at Solarbotics .

Other parts:

Drilled project board for the circuit
Snap-off headers (male and female) for the servo and battery connections
A 28-pin socket for the ATMega
Super-duper glue
Soldering iron and solder, wire
Some tiny bolts to hold the motors on
Drill
Matte knife

Here, you see me measuring out the parts, making a sketch for the frame, and then grabbing a ruler to make a paper template. I used the template as a guide to mark with a pen where I'd drill holes in the Sintra.

Werf Open Concept House in Cape Winelands, South Africa by Van Der Merwe Miszewski

Located between the road into Franschhoek and the Berg river, this Werf House is the result of a rejuvenation of a 1920′s house and a barn dating from ± the 18th century. The architect, Van Der Merwe Miszewski, was commissioned to re-utilize the barn which is more or less centrally located on the site and is surrounded by several magnificent and ancient Oak trees.

The primary form of the house consists of walls in the landscape – providing both habitable space as well as an ordering device for external farm space. Openings in the walls are punctured and can be closed over by external shutters. Panoramic view windows (also with shutters), are located at the ends of the accommodation wings which look out over the vineyards.

The barn itself was repaired and inhabited to form the heart of the home – being the living, dining and cooking spaces. The long facades are covered with verandahs; one open and planted and the other covered over.

A long pool separates the barn from the vineyards, which together with new paddocks, surround the new house. The owners collaborated closely with the architects on all aspects of the design, and particularly so with regard to internal fit out and furniture.
