Best of the Rest: No-Cats-on-the-Net Day, Insane Japanese Gaming Ads

by Thomas Houston on September 8, 2009 at 07:30 PM



There's a load of great tech news happening out there every day, and, unfortunately, we just can't cover it all. Here are a few of the other noteworthy things we saw today on our never-ending journey through the wild, wild Web.
  • Urlesque is campaigning for 9.9.09 to be the official "Day Without Cats on the Internet." Join the fight tomorrow: Ban from all e-mail, IMs, tweets, and all things digital LOLcats, talking cats, monorail cats, Maru, and especially computer cats. This, on the other hand, is fair game.

  • Our friends over at StreetLevel scoured the Web for the five most insane retro Japanese video game commercials. American video game ads have nothing on this 'Legend of Zelda' dance party. [From: StreetLevel]
  • Ah, the '80s arcade, a wonderful, dimly lit den of digital gaming. Dreams of iPods were decades away, and the bleeps, bloops, and badly digitized voices filled the smokey air late into the night. Relive the retro glory with this list of the 13 most overheard phrases in an arcade. [From: Topless Robot]
  • Get your iPhone kick during breakfast with these Apple-styled fridge magnets. [From: Textually]
