The shapeless dough of the internet, formed into tasty pellets and baked to perfection, just for you. Good news: video games aren't as bad off as we've been hearing! And Nintendo is going to save video gaming, anyway. Speaking of Nintendo, did you know they didn't always make video games, and actually started out manufacturing traditional Japanese playing cards?

Philadelphia's singers, actors, and artists are thriving – and so are its dancers. Tomorrow night, local choreographer Braham Logan Crane (who, at 22, is one of the youngest professional choreographers we can think of) will be performing with his company, ASH, at the Annenberg Center for the Performing Arts.
