Calc-Man is a MSDOS-era Pac-Man clone that looks like a spreadsheet, written by Dan Tobias. It's a game that is its own boss key, albeit not a very convincing one. You can play the DOS version here, or if that's too fancy for you, the older Apple II release.

Quick Pic: Mad Lovecraft Ornaments
Handmade Lovecraftian Ornaments by Amy L. Rawson and Brian East
Prints available for purchase from Etsy. US$19
"Between the branches of every Christmas Tree there is a spot that cannot be filled with pretty glass, Santa Claus, or tinsel. In that space, that terrible place, only “shapeless congeries of protoplasmic bubbles, faintly self-luminous, and with myriads of temporary eyes forming and un-forming as pustules of greenish light” will do. Shoggoths love Christmas. This one found a hat and a carrot, likely dropped by someone running for his life, and has taken the shape of a snowman as best it can (no one told him that snow is supposed to be white)."

Quick Pic: Cthuken
Via: Gothamist
According to Eulberg, he and wife Jennifer Robledo "wanted to do
something unique for Christmas dinner with friends of ours. Jenny is a
big fan of Cthulhu so we went and bought some crab legs and some octopus
and bacon and cooked them all separate and slapped them together on a
plate, and that was it. The next year I made a Cthicken; the same thing
using squid instead of octopus and a chicken."
Eulberg says, "The universal reaction was, 'Oh my God, I couldn't eat that.' But each individual piece was cooked separately; all I did was set them together on the plate. It was delicious. The crab leg was awesome and the bacon added a nice flavor to the turkey. And for added horror, the serving platter is an old Nazi plate with a Swastika on the bottom that a friend bought in an old abandoned Luftwaffe base in Germany."

Crafts: Take this House First
"May Cthulhu take this house first" by Portland, Oregon-based Brita A
Prints available for purchase from Society6. US$22.88
A plea to the gods for the coming holiday season.
""After vigintillions of years great Cthulhu was loose again, and ravening for delight."
Wherever you happen to be when Dread Cthulhu finally emerges from his deep slumber, if you're lucky, you won't be there long. This geektastic piece of embroidery, emblazoned with the plea "May Cthulhu take this house first," was recently given to me as a gift from my friend Brita, who made it to hang near my Cthulhumas tree. She made it in hopes that the tentacular Great Old One won't take our annual celebration of Cthulhumas as a sign of disrespect.

A professional photographer for more than 20 years, and published in Q, Melody Maker and Rolling Stone, Pat Pope has worked with many of the biggest names in pop and rock music, including Oasis, David Bowie and Radiohead. One act with whom he has worked several times are 90s indie titans Garbage. Indeed, they admire Pope’s work so much that recently, as they put together a forthcoming self-published book, their management asked his permission to use one of his pictures of them. So far, so good... Pat Pope’s row with Garbage.

This video essay from Brows Held High examines Inception director Christopher Nolan's surrealist influences as well as Inception's use of Narrative. The video takes a look at Surrealism's influence on cinema over the years through the lens of Inception - itself filled with Nolan's own homages to filmic surrealism - but it's most interesting argument comes in its underlying theme that films themselves are the greatest example of illusory surrealism.
