 Alright, this might not technically be an engineering topic but let's have some fun. If you are a child of the 80's or love retro gaming the NES is one of the greatest consoles ever made. Many games are now iconic but there were some really awful ones. So given the massive range of games what were the ten worst games on the NES? We'll let's take a look, shall we?

 Researchers are working with government agencies around the world to dismantle the abundant nuclear stockpile and turn them into nuclear fuel. In today's world, there is a growing concern over the threat of nuclear war. In history, nuclear warheads have only been used in war two times- both from the US, and both proved incredibly devastating and deadly. Since World War II, many countries around the world began to develop programs to build weapons of mass destruction, many with malicious intent. The geopolitical tension after WWII prompted the production of tens of thousands of nuclear weapons.  |
 Not to be mistaken by timelapse, hyperlapse is an exposure technique in photography. It captures the moving flow of a subject and its surrounding by gradually changing the position of the camera between each exposure.This creates a tracking shot in timelapse sequence, which rewards the photographer an incredible moving set of photographs. Very much like this one. So, how does hyperlapse work and how is it done? Well, it's great that you asked because Interesting Engineering will give you 5 easy steps on how to produce cool hyperlapse footages. Disclaimer: We are not professional photographers here but just mere enthusiasts who perform hyperlapse techniques as a hobby.  |
 A few years ago, Google and its parent company Alphabet announced a new project called Project Loon. The goal would be to provide internet users around the world services even in the remotest of areas. The company recently experienced its most trying and important mission yet. Project Loon was put to the test during disastrous flooding throughout Peru. The project successfully connected tens of thousands of Peruvians, bringing basic internet to a major disaster area. In total, hundreds of thousands of people were displaced as 800 provinces in Peru became states of emergency. After landslides and flooding knocked out communications infrastructures, Project Loon became crucial.  |
 World acclaimed and influential designer Marc Newson crafted an esoteric hourglass that resonates artistic and engineering brilliance. A piece of art that doesn't require anyone's validation and which draws you into its world of infinite and timeless dimension. This limited edition timekeeper is available through Hodinkee at a premium of $12,000. [Image Source: HODINKEE] How to create a timeless dimension Apart from measuring out 10 minutes per dripping side (completely made-up unit of measurement), Newson's Hourglass is far from ordinary compared to other timekeepers of its kind. The entirety of the hourglass is shrouded with technical attributes making it an unprecedented piece of art.  |
