Love this! I would buy it if it were ever to be released as an actual board game, but like the Social Network map, it will probably get outdated very quickly.
My only gripe: does anyone use Photobucket anymore? I would think that Picasa Web would be a better choice…

J and I had an extremely busy but exceptionally fulfilling day today. We are both exhausted beyond belief (and nursing the very full bellies with which we rewarded ourselves) and will probably hit the sack soon.
But I couldn’t end the day without updating my blog at least once — even if it is another “fluff” piece that I have been posting during this busy weekend — and thought this Bauhaus-inspired piece by Ashely Browning fit the bill perfectly.
Can you identify the eight original playable characters from Street Fighter II below? I got 7 out of 8 correctly and was sorely disappointed in myself for failing to recognize/remember the eighth.
Highlight the area below for the answers:

Bottom row: Ken, Chun-Li, Zangief, Dhalsim.
I hope everyone had as great a weekend as us!

P.S. — Have I mentioned how much I love The Visual Miscellaneum, the book by the author of Information is Beautiful?
You didn’t think I was done for the day, did you? Here’s one more:

Unfortunately in my case, J didn’t “get it” when I passed it along. He didn’t know that a “tetris” is what happens when you clear four lines in a Tetris game with an l tetromino. I almost felt gipped, because I thought I had married a fellow geek all this time!

I like books, gadgets, spicy food, and art. I dislike shopping, hot weather, and the laws of entropy. Although I am a self-proclaimed computer nerd, I still have a love for handbags and makeup... and I am always teetering on high heels. To learn more about me, visit the "About" page.
