How odd, the URL says reddit.com but the pun thread is not at the very top.

Looking for something to read?

NPR's Top 100 Sci-Fi and Fantasy books in flowchart form:
http://www.sfsignal.com/archives/2011/09/flowchart-for-navigating-nprs-top-100-sff-books/

It isn't without error, unless, of course, the final volume of Wheel of Time is out.

Without advocating graffiti, I can still say that these are two nifty little tools (more so for the QR creator):

Adjustable Pie-Chart Stencil: http://fffff.at/infoviz-graffiti-stencil/
QR Code Stencil Generator: http://fffff.at/qr-stenciler-and-qr-hobo-codes/

If I had a way to read the latter, I might be tempted to try and use it in a game somehow.

Russian man outwits bank with hand-written credit contract: http://rt.com/business/man-outsmarts-banks-wins-court-221/
Marvelous.
Quote:
Disappointed by the terms of the unsolicited offer for a credit card from Tinkoff Credit Systems in 2008, a 42-year-old Dmitry Agarkov from the city of Voronezh decided to hand write his own credits terms. The trick was that Agarkov simply scanned the bank’s document and ‘amended’ the small print with his own terms.

It's a visual puzzle-game reminiscent of the really old mac puzzle games. It has its own surreal sort of logic. So far only a demo exists, so it stops abruptly, but it's quite fun if you find that sort of thing fun, which I do, so I'm posting about it. Enjoy!

The internet(or ~70000 entities on it) collectively plays a single Pokemon game instance:

http://techcrunch.com/2014/02/17/wtf-is-this/

Quote:
Over on Twitch, the largest platform for livestreaming esports and other gaming content, 70,000 people are playing Pokemon in unison and the world is watching. The host cooked up a script that takes game commands from the stream’s chat interface, and feeds them into the game itself. So, people are shouting LEFT, RIGHT, and so forth in some sort of virulent cacophony to control the little Poke hero.
