an awesome robot-themed point and click flash-game! some puzzles, not too hard - great to kill a few minutes
There was once a world of living robots. But one day a bad accident occured in the main power generator. The world fell into a deep sleep. Bring life back to the world!

In this context SK has to highly recommend as well: a game called Machinarium by Amanita Design simply: great gameplay, beautiful graphics + an awesome soundtrack
similar to Little Wheel though it's not free... try the demo! ►
Brooklyn’s Goes Cube don’t really care what you call them. Their music is a brutal blend of metal, punk and full-on rock.
the press goes:
"Double-bass drums collide with impossibly ballsy guitars and disarming chord structures - a provocative blend of Sonic Youth artiness and Slayeresque fury" - Pittsburgh City Paper
"These guys remind us of a simpler time in indie rock (circa 1994) when bands would scoff at the notion of using a synth. Get ready for some serious rock riffs like Slint" - Insound
"Brooklyn's latest bellow is a powerful volley for avant-punk...the energy is utterly captured. This is a band that has not forgotten the great mid-'90s Swedish group Refused, which took hard-core to a totally different compositional level" - Los Angeles Times
Call it metal, call it post-metal, call it quasi-metal-post-punk-pre-twenty-second-century-independent-art-sounds if you're into that kind of thing...
