Depth charges via Twitter! :arrgh!:

This is brilliant!

A team at Red Bull Creation (which has the worst possible website ever) has built a submarine simulation game called “The Hunt For Red September,” under the theme of “A Game Of Games.” The team, 1.21 Jigawatts, just so happens to be the winner of last year’s Red Bull Creation for “Energy In Motion.”

The game employs 3 Arduino micro-controllers that simulate the attack of a submarine, which is built to the scale and likeness of a real submarine. There are various levers and valves that the user must trigger to repair different threats to the submarine, such as a high pressure hull rupture, radiation levels, reactor temperature, or a depth charge.

What most boggles my mind about that site is that it's such a well-crafted failure. I mean they tried really hard to fail that hard...

Ehm. You guys need to look up the words "retro" and "irony" in the dictionary :)

The site is most excellent, although in a very nerdy/mac-way.
