This past weekend was the Come and Play Festival, a summertime tradition in which game makers turn the streets of New York City and San Francisco into a giant playground. One of such individual who represented the Big Apple was Douglas Wilson, member of Danish indie game making collective known as Die Gute Fabrik.
Wilson's biggest claim to fame is creating Johann Sebastian Joust, a music game that utilizes PlayStation Move controllers and which has no graphics. It's traveled the word as a key attraction at pretty much every major game convention imaginable, and will soon be available to the public at long last, as part of the Sportsfriends collection.
Wilson's follow-up to Johann Sebastian Joust is something that's both simpler and even more ambitious; called "Edgar Rice Frotteur," its creator describes it as a "crazy, music, jungle game." It consists of 20 Move controllers, all hung by the ceiling,...

You know what's cool? Art installations that are wired up to let people play a life-sized version of "Katamari Damacy," Keita Takahashi's whimsical dreamscape-meets-social-commentary, using a giant yoga ball. Using a projector, an Arduino circuit board, and some optical mouses, Über Cool Stuff owner and do-it-yourselfer Chris McInnis debuted the project at London, Ontario's Nuit Blanche art festival a few weekends ago.
It's worth noting that the idea for a life-sized katamari has been rolling around (get it?!) for a while now: McInnis got the idea from a hacker named Kellbot. The basic principle is to replace the PlayStation 2's analog sticks with an optical mouse that can read the yoga ball's movement and then send that signal to the game.
In any case, McInnis roped in other woodworkers, coders, electricians, and artists and eventually got the project working, complimented by some papier-mâché katamari and King of All Cosmos costumes.

This week’s victim is Douglas Wilson, a trombone player with the Baltimore Orchestra. He is found with his neck broken, dangling almost behind him, a cello neck shoved down his mouth, throat cut open. The killer was trying to play the victim’s vocal chords like a violin. We know that Tobias is the killer. He owns a cello and violin shop, where he makes his own strings from human guts.
Franklin is on to Tobias. Or at least, he thinks he is. Franklin tells Hannibal that he has been concerned over some of the dark things Tobias has been saying, and checked off a multitude of psychopathy markers. Then Douglas shows up dead, and Franklin remembers that Tobias once said he wanted kill someone and play them like a violin.
