OK, clearly we need more of this kind of thinking!

QuoteFrank Lee, a Drexel University game-design professor, said Friday's classic Atari video game is on schedule to be played on the facade of a mirrored, 29-story skyscraper, even if it rains. Hundreds of built-in LED lights embedded in the north face of the Cira Centre will replicate the familiar paddles and ball with gamers controlling giant, table-mounted joysticks across the Schuylkill River from the building.

All that is gold does not glitter,
Not all those who wander are lost;
The old that is strong does not wither,
Deep roots are not reached by the frost.

Here's how the Welsh do it (about 1 min in for Pong), unsurprisingly it involves sheep.
