The Game Boy Timeline

Game Boy turned 20 this week! Isn’t that amazing? I remember, specifically, receiving the very first model when I was 3 years old. It came with Tetris and I soon purchased Metroid II and Super Mario Land. The batteries died in minutes, the screen was hard to look at but more importantly, it was a portable gaming monster that kept me occupied for hours upon hours. Gizmodo made a tribute timeline for the bastards, so go check that out and shed a tear.

A Short Visual History of Video Games

PSFK posted this fantastic motion graphics video from Kyle Downes. It depicts the history of video games from the Odyssey all the way up to today’s next-gen consoles. The 3-D work he did and the typography in the video are top notch. The production style is engaging and the fake British narrator really completes the look. Be sure to give it a peep. It’s only a few minutes long and is quite interesting.

Mozilla Knows What We Need For Firefox 3.1

Finally, Mozilla is coming in to its own with a browser feature that is perfect for porn. For Firefox 3.1, the team at Mozilla have included a feature called “private browsing.” Upon exiting the browser, any trace of past sites you visited located in the browser’s history, cookies or temporary files are erased.

That means: no dirty clues as to where you’ve been digging around the Internet late at night. After all, you wouldn’t want your friends knowing you put Gearfuse in your nightly spank bank.
