Film legend Hayao Miyazaki (maybe) retired last year, and while Studio Ghibli (probably) lives on, it can’t help but feel like a little bit of joy is leaving the world. To see it off, Vimeo user whoispablo has created an 8-bit style tribute to the semi-retired director. The treacly video features a good chunk of characters from the director’s oeuvre headed to his house to wish him well. Take the 45 seconds required to watch the video embedded below and wallow in the strange mix of nostalgia, sadness, and joy that emerges from the intersection of Miyazaki, haunting chiptune, and 8-bit graphics.

Just Six Months After the Olympics, Sochi Looks Like a Ghost Town
It's been almost exactly six months since the Sochi Olympics wrapped up and the world promptly moved on to speculating about the Rio 2016. Since then, the town of Sochi has been left holding the proverbial bag—which as Russian photographer Alexander Belenkiy shows us, is full of too many buildings and not enough people to occupy them.

The Site Where Doctors Share X-Rays of Weird Things in People's Butts
You and me, we have Wikipedia. Radiologists, they have Radiopaedia. If you can get past the clinical language, you can see it for what it really is: An amazing cache of images that show the human body at its extreme limits. And a place to find (and share!) x-rays of weird stuff people have put up their butts.

Our Ancestors Wore Babies Into Battle
According to MIT graduate student Tomer Ullman, humanity's early ancestors harnessed the "natural adrenaline boost" brought on by the sound of wailing babies by strapping infants to their bodies and wearing them into battle.
Whatever Happened To The UFC?
Imagine if the NBA added 30 expansion teams over the next two years, and then sent out a favored reporter to lecture the public about how true fans should appreciate the diminished quality of play. This sounds impossibly stupid, and yet it's more or less what's happening in one increasingly dim corner of the sports world.
Origin support actually works!
OK I didn’t expect that to hapen at all, long story short thanks to E3 and Battlefield Hardline beta announcement Origin is (or was?) down and I decided to buy a The Sims 3 expansion in the middle of that server rape (yeah didn’t expect that). I got the game and suddenly the Origin client showed up an error that the service is not available.
Then I’ve noticed that the game is not on my list and the status in purchase history is “Pending”.
After that I’ve been browsing reddit/r/origin to see if there’s anything about it on the net. And suddenly EA employee posted this and I’ve decided to post my problem:
After few minutes I’ve got a private message from the guy with the question about my Origin ID and what title I’m having problems with. I’ve put everything up and waited.
After another couple of minutes I’ve got an e-mail with a order status and right then the game showed up in my library. I’ve stated that I had problem purchasing another DLC for The Sims 3 earlier before he that guy did it… and guess what? Helped with that one too.
Thanks again Liquidboarder! :)
How Gotham City Got Mapped
It's tough to build a great fantasy world without a map—there's a reason why the Game of Thrones credits are basically a Google Earth flyover—and comic book worlds are no exception. While Batman's "Gotham City" has been around since 1940, it wasn't properly mapped until 1998's "No Man's Land" arc. Over at the Smithsonian, there's a great profile of how this design, created by illustrator Eliot Brown, came to be.
Nobody Wants To Host The 2022 Olympics
The next Olympics to be awarded, a little more than a year from now, will be the 2022 Winter Games. Rather than going to the strongest bid, the games may end up going to the last city standing—a long list of potential hosts have given up on their Olympic dreams because the whole thing is one huge, useless waste of money.
Super Street Fighter IV Ditching Games For Windows Live
SSFIVAE is breaking free from GFWL! What does that mean? It means that Super Street Fighter IV Arcade Edition is snapping the shackles of Games For Windows Live and switching to Steamworks this coming Friday.
This is good news, because Games For Windows Live may soon vanish (though given this is Microsoft, it’s not quite that simple) and it’s not yet clear which games will make the transition to other multiplayer-enabling services. Unfortunately there’s also some bad news for people who bought SSFIVAE DLC through GFWL.
It’s a good day for people who love acronyms. Or GDFPWLA, as we like to call it.
Newswire: True Detective’s Cary Fukunaga trades the Yellow King for The Black Count
Thanks to his impressive run on True Detective, director Cary Fukunaga is currently hotter than that Big Hug Mug that went for $80 on eBay. Fukunaga has a number of projects in the works already, including a WWII spy movie and a new adaptation of Stephen King’s It, while his next film, the child soldier drama Beasts Of No Nation, goes into production in Ghana next month. But Fukunaga continues to play the field, and Deadline reports he’s also signed on to adapt and direct the Pulitzer Prize-winning biography The Black Count: Glory, Revolution, Betrayal, And The Real Count of Monte Cristo for Sony.
The Black Count is the story of 18th-century French general Thomas-Alexandre Dumas, who was born into slavery in Haiti, only to rise to the highest ranks of Napoleon’s army. Dumas’ adventures heavily influenced his son Alexandre Dumas, who wrote idealized versions of his ...
