This Week in Awesome (1/19/12)

Got it posted on Saturday! (slow clap) Anyway...

Remember when you used to have to leave your house to play video games? Here's a very interesting article on the history of video arcades. (The Verge via The Awl)

Who'd have thought termites would lead to these compelling photo opportunities? (Wired via Laughing Squid)

This video surely inspired Jimmy Fallon's "found footage" of a video dating service, and possibly also the "Lowered Expectations" running bit on MADtv. (The Daily What)

And finally this week, as 30 Rock nears its final episode, take a look back at some of the show's best jokes (Rolling Stone; hat tip to Dr. H), and then check out Tina Fey's thoughts about Twitter.
