Few stores are as delightful to browse as Studio Arhoj. They offer a variety of glassware, ceramic mugs, and little figurines. Everything is really cute and very well made (I own two of their mugs, and they always put a smile on my face when I drink my coffee from them... Ok, this starts reading like an ad, but it's not – I promise! – they're just a delight!). Anyway! For the Easter holidays they have a new offering that I ABSOLUTELY NEED: Happy glass eggs! So cute!

Nathan Grayson on how the latest Xbox showcase failed to impress:

Microsoft owns a significant chunk of the triple-A video game industry, but it has struggled to marshal those forces in a direction that feels fresh or uniquely compelling. Don’t get me wrong: Sony and Nintendo also lean heavily on franchises, but the former demonstrates a slightly more regular willingness to throw something new into the mix, while the latter never stops making old new again.

I couldn't agree more. There's so much sameness all around. It's hard to get excited for the nth instalment in an already-running franchise. But this is exactly what the big studios are doing now, as costs and development time have ballooned: playing it safe. And as we know, safe is not really exciting.
