We’ve been obsessed with fun this week. Ogling the most amazing and groundbreaking playgrounds we’ve ever seen, playing with great new videogame technology, learning about a Teutonic revolution in board games, and wasting time with the PopSci Flash Arcade (curated by our friends at Kill Screen). And this week’s Baarbarian illustration wraps it all up so nicely.
Want to win this extra-fun Baarbarian illustration on a T-shirt? It’s easy! The rules: Follow us on Twitter (we’re @PopSci) and retweet our This Week in the Future tweet. One of those lucky retweeters will be chosen to receive a custom T-shirt with this week’s Baarbarian illustration on it, thus making the winner the envy of their friends, coworkers and everyone else with eyes.
