8 Ballcorner pocket!

Yep this blog goes out to all you pool hall junkies out there. While many of us spend our weekends standing around some or other pub/club trying to sink the black, some of our more introverted human friends would rather stay at home on a Friday night and huddle around their PlayStations.
For those who would rather stay at home and play pool, here is an awesome new game called Hustle Kings, which is pretty much as real as it gets….well without actually holding a cue and leaving your room.

The new release Hustle Kings is an absolutely beautiful (yet simple) video game simulation of the real thing. While Hustle Kings may not be the most original game out, it still has potential for a high fun factor that will thrill those at home who like to play competitive games against their buddies…but what is the “lastability” of a game like this??
I remember back in the day, shooo I must have been in like 1994, we had a similar 3D style pool hall game….think it was simply called 3D Pool, can’t remember. But yeah, my buddies and I had loads of fun jamming that game…that was until we were old enough to sneak into pool halls and pubs lol.

When I was younger all I knew is that I wanted Japanese this and Japanese that…because I’m pretty obsessed with that style. However, I have leant to open my eyes and accept design that may at first look outlandish and totally not “for me”. Whilst walking around Design Indaba 2010, I stumbled across many items that I would like to incorporate into my ultimate personal home design. One such item that I thought was really funky was the Twi-light table lamp by Snapp.

The Twi-light table lamp looks like something the Mad Hatter would have in his trendy Tokyo apartment! The table lamp itself relies on ambient light. The designers had this to say about the Twi-light table lamp:
“The Twi-light table lamp is inspired by the unusual and romantic ambient light reflected by the Earth’s atmosphere when illuminated by the sun hidden below the horizon.”
Ok, so perhaps that sounded a tad artsy for the more chilled interior appreciator, however when you actually take a look at this lamp you will understand exactly why they describe the lamp in this fashion.
