Is Fable 3 everything you (and Peter Molyneux) ever dreamed of, or more broken promises? Full comic here. Background here, and here. [via Reddit]

Compared to some of the weirder arcade cabinets we’ve seen, Envador’s ArcadeDock is delightfully functional. The tabletop cabinet doesn’t have any computers or monitors built-in, but instead lets you easily throw a laptop inside for instant arcade gaming. Envador did cheat a little bit, using a pre-assembled mini-cabinet cutout. The magic is in the modifications, which include a slide-out keyboard and, most importantly, a tilting control panel that provides access to the laptop cooling pad and connecting cables. The cabinet was created as part of a promotion by Lenovo, focused on doing fun things with laptops. You can vote for Envador’s creation at the “What’s Your Idea of Fun” website, and you can learn how to create one of these mods ourself at Envador.com. [via Arcade Heroes]

They say when you work hard, you can play hard, so I can only imagine the sadness when Antarctica’s lone Golden Tee arcade cabinet broke down. The game is a popular way to kill the time among the residents of McMurdo Station, a scientific base that holds roughly 500 people in the winter and 1,300 in the summer. Not long ago, the station’s 5 year-old Golden Tee machine suffered a hard drive failure, and a quick service call was, of course, out of the question.

One of Super Meat Boy’s most delightful flourishes is the way it ushers in each new batch of levels with the music from Dramatic Look. Why this allusion exists is anybody’s guess, but it epitomizes how Super Meat Boy, at times, wants to be about anything but itself. And for the most part, that’s okay.
