Psychonauts PC Game for a Quid, £1, 20 bob, etc

by Jay Garrett on January 27, 2010

Steam has cut the price to this fabby game to 1GBP til Thursday!

According to RPS it’s “one of the loveliest games ever, Psychonauts, for £1. It’s hilarious, it’s so beautifully written, and it’s bursting with invention and ideas like nothing else”.

If you’re unfamiliar with Psychonauts the outline reads thus:

For years, the Psychonauts have deployed their psychically-armed operatives all over the world, but this time trouble is brewing in their own backyard. Someone is abducting students from the Psychonaut boot camp—a deranged scientist who only wants their brains. A powerful new cadet named Raz stands alone against the lunatic. He must develop and unleash an arsenal of paranormal powers, including telekinesis, pyrokinesis, clairvoyance, and his most powerful weapon of all—the ability to launch himself telepathically into someone’s mind. Ultimately he must enter the mind of his worst enemy and destroy his dark plans at their source, while trying not to lose his sanity in the process.

Map2 – The London Paper Map That has Zoom Function!

by Jay Garrett on January 24, 2010

Ok – hands up all those with touchscreen phones that now get confused when attempting to navigate a regular mobile?

Well, I’m guessing it’s the same when looking at one of those old-fashioned paper maps.

You can see where you want to be but no matter how much you pinch at the paper it does not zoom!

Here’s The Map2, which is described as being a “zoomable map on paper,” is a high tech, low tech map that lets you zoom in to a more detailed view without going digital.

On the original scaled page each of the four quadrants can be unfolded to reveal a more detailed map of that area – essentially zooming in.

I think it’s a great idea.

If you’re visiting London get one – it’s only £8 and very groovy indeed!
