Imagine New York City as an adventure-scape of the 8-bit world from your old-school Nintendo days.

MIT alum, Brett Camper puts the pixel treatment on a Google Map of the 5 boroughs of New York in this incredible mashup. Parks, water, “grasslands” and roads take on such a blocky NES map look of  RPGs of yesteryear, you’ll be apt to assemble a team of adventurers and storm the island smiting blobs and plundering riches.

Zoom, pan and explore NYC in low fidelity right here!

You’ve heard everybody talking about the latest social media phenomenon, Chat Roulette, but maybe you’ve been afraid to check it out yourself. Maybe you’re afraid you can’t take it. Maybe you’re afraid you’ll find yourself addicted to a life of 2 second interactions with an endless supply of strangers.

Either way, filmmaker Casey Neistat comes to the rescue with his short film divulging the (sometimes seedy) ins and outs of this emerging time waster. And beware, this site is not for the faint of heart or the under 18.
