[University kids are allegedly being forced to fabricate PlayStation 4 consoles](http://www.gamasutra.com/view/news/202035/Report%5FFoxconn%5Fusing%5Funpaid%5Finterns%5Fto%5Fmanufacture%5FPlayStation%5F4.php?ref=killscreen.com), or face losing credit. Unsurprisingly, this is taking place at the rather notorious Foxconn assembly plant in Taiwan.

3D printing is so yesterday. [The US Army is funding the development of 4D printers](http://thecreatorsproject.vice.com/blog/the-us-army-is-investing-in-4d-printing-expect-crazy-results?ref=killscreen.com), which is some serious science-fictional tech, with the aim of producing shapeshifting objects. Whoa!

Polygon ran a nice little feature the other day on [Bennet Foddy](http://www.polygon.com/2013/10/7/4786622/the-appropriately-strange-journey-of-qwops-creator-from-philosopher?ref=killscreen.com), the electronic musician turned philosopher turned game academic at NYU. Oh yeah, he also makes amazingly broken games. (In a good way!)

Judging by this cryptic trailer, Simogo’s new game will feature a.) a woman named Anna, b.) a Polaroid of a bear, and c.) an area of the human brain labeled D1\. Whatever it is, we’ll know for sure on October 17th.

Tonight at 7, NYU Game Center is hosting a talk with a pioneer of [the New Games movement](http://gamecenter.nyu.edu/2013/10/nyu-game-center-lecture-series-presents-bernie-dekoven?ref=killscreen.com). What’s the New Games movement, you say? In the ‘70s, it sought to replace competitive sports with cooperative ones. Guess it never took.

[Furloughed government employees](http://www.gog.com/news/special%5Fpromo%5Fshutdown%5Fpromo?ref=killscreen.com) take heart. GOG.com, the digital distributing service, is giving away some free games to those affected by the shutdown. A nice gesture.

*Salut!*
