Retrofitting tourist boats as greenhouses.

They start their day practicing meditation, in silence, a radical shift from the traditional morning environment of police headquarters. After meditation, they carry on a number of activities, which range from the creation of ikebana flower arrangements, ceramics, tai chi chuan and even participating in a tea ceremony. The officers who have gone through the training say that they feel more prepared to deal with their duties in a non-violent way.

Post Apocalyptic Background Pixel Art from SNK’s original 1996 Neo-Geo title Metal Slug, the run-and-gun classic. Apologies if your having to scroll your browser to the right (I am too), the thing about Pixel Art is it can’t really be scaled, it’s drawn for one size and one size only, and it’d be severely blasphemous to rescale this superb example!
So here’s a lush part of Metal Slug level one in all it’s limited palette glory, but hang on a minute where’s all the rest of the game art? well that’s the other reason for the post, this image comes via The Video Game Atlas http://www.vgmaps.com/ a truly amazing resource if your into the art of old school games. Loads of wicked stuff there, and worth visit for so many reason’s – Game Title Screens for example http://ow.ly/tHqJ great Typography.

It’s a shame they aren’t more arcades around these days. There’s a good chance that I would spend all of my birthday money playing Metal Slug right now.
