Situated in the basement of a non-descript building in the outskirts of Moscow, the “Museum of Soviet Arcade Machines” houses video game consoles from a bygone era.
Designers and travel bloggers Connal Hughes and Anjel Van Slyke (who are also married to each other) made a trip to the museum, and then spent a few pleasurable hours playing awesome-sounding games like “Turnip Strength Tester” and “Magistral”. They documented the entire experience with pictures and extensive game descriptions, in this great post on their blog.

Controversial Artist William Powhida’s Art World Board Game
William Powhida, the Brooklyn-based artist and art critic, just finished a drawing for the September issue of the Brooklyn Rail. Titled “The Game”, the drawing is a playable board game that is actually part satire, part scathing critique on the art world establishment.
The artist’s intense distaste (NSFW language) for Work of Art, the Bravo TV series, could have possibly had a major influence over this artwork.
Powhida seems to be controversy’s favorite child, and has built up quite a reputation for himself:
Described as a “gadfly in the art establishment” by the New York Times, “an irresistible double-dipper and ingenious double-crosser” by the Los Angeles Times and a “stupid twerp” by the editor of Artnet Online Magazine, Powhida is a mercurial personality who has been investigating new ways to survive the volatile and Janus-faced art world.
