Thanks to GMicek for pointing to the DIYGames.com site, which has an interview with Octopus Motor, the developers of They Came From Hollywood. This real-time strategy PC title allows you to control giant B-movie monsters as they maraud through major American cities, and you can even play as one of the monsters from those classic Harold Haxton movies. The project is also an interesting model for today's independent games, as the official site explains the game has only 2 developers, and the title will be self-published when it's finished later this year.

Dark-Helmet writes "YETI@Home, the search for the missing link? Or something else? Anyway, a very good parody of places like SETI@Home." One thing lacking on this site is Team Slashdot's ranking. We spot strange human-like creatures all the time (usually in our mirrors).

Mars Saxman writes "Somebody autopsied their dead Furby. Results are presented with full illustrations and instructions. Very tongue in cheek. Especially amusing if you can't help but think of "Gremlins" when looking at these little monstrosities."
