"Which corporation would stand for this?", asks Rickard Falkvinge, head of the Swedish Pirate Party. "Which corporation would stand for having the police raid their facitilies and shut down operations, before they were proven guilty of a crime? In this case, the Pirate Bay has commited no crime. They are disliked by large media interests, that's correct. But it's not illegal to be disliked..., and definitely not cause for the Police to raid and shut down one of the world's largest gathering places for our young generation." Read On.

Real Life Mario
This Nintendo Amusement Park is a project that is being put together by 3 New York students that is based off the awsome game, Super Mario Bros. This obstical course uses a power-assist harness that allows players to jump 12 feet in the air crushing goombas, avoiding Bob-ombs collecting coins, and busting blocks. This concept even has moving platforms and sound effects that sync up to your movments to add to the feel of the game. It';s in a rough state right now but it looks like it'll be sweet in the end.

The N-Game
This is pretty much the sweetest and most addictive flash game ever. I've been playing it for over a year now and i thought i would share it. The object is basicly to open the door to the next level. you do this by actavating various switches throughout the level that will in turn open other gates to other switches. Colloecting gold is not required, but will give you more time that carries over into the next level. Configure it to your likings and enjoy. (Click on the heading to DL the full version)

For now the site just redirects you to Nintendo's home page, but ponder that. What can't this thing do?
