The Internet Archive, a non-profit working to build a library of the Internet, has added over 900 originally coin-operated arcade games to its site this week, all playable in your browser without any additional downloads.

"A lot of people are going to migrate to games they recognize and ones that they may not have played in years. They'll do a few rounds, probably get their asses kicked, smile, and go back to their news sites," writes Jason Scott the man who put this all together, effectively destroying workplace productivity across the country.

You may remember last year's "Console Living Room" section of the Internet Archive, which included games from Atari and Sega.

5 year old Kristoffer Von Hassel figured out that he could log into his dad's Xbox Live account without a password by entering spaces into a second password verification screen after entering the wrong password at the login screen. Kristoffer's father notified Microsoft, and they've now listed Kristoffer as a "security researcher" on their website. He's also received four games, fifty bucks, and a year of Xbox Live.

For a better idea of the scale on this 23-pound beauty (which took 27 rolls of tape to complete) here it is with Jewel Staite:

This is the work of Steve Price, who converted the entire battlestation to a peaceful palace using LEGO Friends pieces. The whole thing includes a pizza room, a dancefloor, salon, juice bar, and concert venue. And obviously that giant death ray has been converted to spread friendship and happiness around the universe. Because duh.

Get em here! But whatever you do, don't use them with these.
