My daughter looked everywhere to find a pair of socks to help us celebrate finishing our sci-fi golf game, The Last Golfer. I think she did great!

In Mario Kart Wii, the dancing Piantas near the escalators in Coconut Mall actually serve a purpose. They will turn towards the escalator currently moving upward, and face forward while the escalators change directions, providing an additional visual indicator from afar.

Game Development World Championship 2025 | GDWC The Game Development World Championship is an annual competition for indie game developers, game development students, and anyone interested in game development to join in.

My partner Karthik and I worked really hard on our videogame, GOLFR, for ten years. So we were thrilled and honoured today that our game is a finalist in the Game Development World Championship! Thanks for selecting us GDWC!

It's a simple prank, but quite undetectable. Three of those potatoes are longan berries. Extra fun on your american friends who have never heard of longan. Can you spot all three?

Clicking a mouse three times has nothing to do with a golf swing so we re-built computer golf from the ground up.

I love the whole concept of that project; just get a bunch of indies together and make mini-games. I'm sure we'll see more of those in the future. Looking forward to checking out the golf ones especially, thanks!

Hi, that's actually really good feedback thank you! The club is a bit hard to see in a lot of the press images and videos, something we might have addressed if we made some tests earlier. Can't wait to try UFO50 but haven't as of yet...

Jimmy Carter Naval portrait

Jimmy Carter Naval portrait

The Historical Society of Ottawa

The world's first nuclear reactor meltdown occurred right here in the Ottawa Valley - and a young U.S. naval officer (future U.S. president Jimmy Carter) was brought in and put in charge of containing the disaster - 69 years ago this week.

Leading a team of two dozen men, 28-year old Lieutenant Carter courageously had himself lowered into the damaged reactor. That week, Carter and his team exposed themselves to a thousand times the level of radiation considered safe by today's standards.

News of the December 12, 1952 reactor meltdown at Chalk River sent a shockwave of panic among scientists, politicians and the general public around the world.

Hydrogen explosions followed the meltdown, which then caused hundreds of thousands of gallons of radioactive water to flood into the core.

When the Canadian government turned to U.S. nuclear experts for help, Lieutenant Carter was put charge of the urgent operation. Carter was one of the few in the world at that time with any expertise in this new technology.

First, the reactor had to be shut down - and then disassembled and replaced.

disassembled and replaced.

Carter had his team build an exact replica of the reactor on a nearby tennis court to practice each move and track their work as they progressed. Every pipe, bolt and nut was rebuilt exactly to replicate the damaged reactor.

Carter divided himself and his men into teams of three. Each team worked 90-second shifts, rushing in and cleaning and repairing the reactor, precisely as they had practised on the tennis court.

A minute and a half was deemed the longest the human body could handle the amount of radiation that remained in the area even with protective gear.

It was still way too much radiation. Carter and his team absorbed a year's worth of radiation in each of those 90-second shifts. Carter's urine was still testing as radioactive six months later and the future president's health was affected for the rest of his life.

This nightmare experience affected Carter's views on nuclear power for the rest of his days as well.

His first-hand exposure to the Chalk River disaster suddenly gave Carter a more profound respect for the destructive power of nuclear energy and that influenced decisions he would make a quarter century later in the Oval Office - including his decision to cancel the U.S. military's development of a neutron bomb.

Jimmy Carter was a literal superhero that saved Ottawa, Canada from a nuclear meltdown by repelling into an out of control reactor to unjam control rods by hand. The power plant is still operational.
