PAUSE: Brazil-based artist makes tiny Lego rooms look like sanitariums, dream houses.
Brazil-based artist Valentino Fialdini constructs tiny rooms and then creatively snaps them to make them achieve greater volume than actually are. No word if you can actually purchase houses that look like this. He told My Modern Met: “One of my specialties is architectural photography,” he tells u

KS contributor, game designer, and general provocateur Pippin Barr is at it again with a new nugget of Flash goodness called Hot Coffee. Ha. He writes us: It’s a riff on the “Hot Coffee Sex Scandal” that surrounded GTA: San Andreas when it came out, with the sex mini-game and all that. I was intere
