Indie Games 4ever
If you are an oldschool nerd like me you also started your gamers career back in the good ol’ days of the C64.
And if you like me sometimes miss the days then a new games still was a new game and not just the same shit with eyecandy graphics. You should take a look at the indie game scene on the web.
BUT if you have like me a real life and can’t waste ages of time on find the right game this videos are just great.
The guys from pixelprospector prepared a bunch of videos where you can have a look on the games - before downloading and trying the shit. And the best is you can just follow the links in the video to play your favourites.

R.I.P. Michael Jackson
Ok to be honest I never claimed to be his biggest fan. But even I must admit that he was a real great musician and songwriter.
So in memory of his death

Intel Leibniz Challenge 2010… all the young Nerds
Unbelievable how Capacitors, Resistors, Microcontrollers and some cables attract thousands of nerdy teenagers to a 4 months long tough competition in the area of math and computer science.
The Intel Leibniz Challenge now in its fourth year had nearly 3500 participating students from all over Germany and from some German schools in Poland, Brasil, Mexico, New Zealand and the US.
The challenge is tough but rewarding.
The winners were awarded with internships at the R&D facility Intel Braunschweig,
grants from Leibniz University of Hanover and hardware prizes with a value of more than 20.000 Euro.
And last but not least the competing teams learned a lot about what it means to be an engineer. Nearly 20 percent of the students that participated this year participated at least once before.
And according to the applause given when the organizers announced the Intel Leibniz Challenge for next year
many students will be competing again at the Intel Leibniz Challenge 2011.
Will you compete too?

Intel at Waterloo
This year, on the yearly re-enactment of the battle of Waterloo (in Belgium), Intel had a little surprise for the visitors. On the public area, we set up 4 Intel Core i7 systems to play Napoleon Total War, a PC game from SEGA/Creative Assembly, that came out earlier this year. A game officially approved as ‘cool’ by Nerd-FM.
Ha, we figured, no better location to play a ‘virtual’ battle on a brand new PC than on a ‘real’ battle field, especially as on this re-enactment edition over 3000 re-enactors participated.
Nerds make it happen. Always!
