Just How Big are the PS5, Xbox Series X, and Xbox Series X?
Holiday season 2020 should be a good one for video gamers, with the impending release of next-gen consoles from both Sony and Microsoft. Both the PS5 and Xbox Series X pack graphics capabilities on par with many gaming PCs, so they need room for all of that hardware and cooling tech. We’re starting to get some perspective of just how much space these new consoles will take up in your living room cabinet.
Now that we have official dimensions for both consoles, Keisawada, an illustrator in Japan, decided to create some computer-generated models to put their sizes in perspective. The image above shows the relative sizes of a PS5 in vertical mode, an Xbox Series X, and a Nintendo Switch for comparison. When placed alongside each other, you can see that the PS5 towers over the others, while the Xbox Series X takes the prize for girth.
While it initially looks enormous next to that display, it turns out that’s a relatively small 32″ TV that they’re standing next to. Still, with the PS5 measuring 390mm x 260mm x 104mm (15.3″ x 10.23″ x 4.09″), it’s about 18% bigger by volume than the original PS3, which was known for its gargantuan size. The Xbox Series X is a bit shorter at 301mm (11.85″) high, but its portly 151mm x 151mm (5.94″ x 5.94″) footprint means its more than twice as thick as an Xbox One X.
If you’re interested in saving space, and you don’t care about a Blu-ray drive and physical game media, The PS5 Digital and Xbox Series S are smaller. The PS5 Digital isn’t much different in size from the regular PS5 at 390mm x 260mm x 92mm (15.3″ x 10.23″ x 3.62″). However, the Xbox Series S measures in at a downright svelte 305mm x 275mm x 53mm (12″ x 10.8″ x 2.08″), making it by far the smallest of the next-gen consoles at launch.

Thought-provoking visuals that challenge the way you perceive objects around you
Quarantine times has our imagination kicking into overdrive as we stay at our home or safe haven and by now, looking at the same 4 walls is making you see things (unless you’re lucky enough to live in a spacious place with a yard or a pool) When it comes to creative visualization, however, designer Jose Navarro takes the prize! Using a blend of Photoshop, Illustrator, and a high dose of imagination, Jose takes a twist on everyday objects to create thought-provoking visuals that take a hard look at life and are sure to give you some food for thought. And who knows, this may just inspire you to see beyond the obvious and let your creativity flow.
For instance, his piece titled CONVICT-19 is an apt description of the mood of the planet. While we all sit quarantined, we are just waiting for the moment COVID dies down, getting the virus in control or literally chained up to free the human race…
Pharmaceutical Vampires come out and play with the creatures of the night. Afterall an addiction is an addiction, be it for drugs or for blood.

Choose your partners wisely, what you choose will be what you will get more of and this is a life lesson.
Cut Life is a visual ode to the fact that life needs more green instead of the blades cutting down our forests.
I do imagine in prehistoric times, the genius caveman used Ladybugs to roll and count his moves while playing Dinosaurs and ladders (because if you have dinosaurs to worry about, no snake is going to scare you!)
Titled broken, this thought-provoking visual speaks of soul mates that come from the same shell, but differences break them apart.

This Alien Stop-Motion Flip Book Is a Terrifying Work of Art
Animated flip books are usually pretty cute and simple. This one, however, is complex and terrifying. The artistry that went into this creation is just inspiring. In this flip book, no one can hear you scream.
This stop-motion style flip book was made by artist Serene Teh and was actually commissioned by 20th Century Fox to celebrate the 40th anniversary of the Alien franchise. That’s 40 years of alien horror that has kept us glued to our seats. What you see here isn’t just any flip book, but a masterpiece. Seriously, check out the video. Watch Serene flip through the book, as it tells a horrifying story of aliens with an appetite.
Even Jonesy the cat makes an appearance as an alien tries to eat it. No worries though, Ripley shows up and save the day, firing like 100 rounds into the Xenomorph. Eventually, the Xenomorph is jettisoned off of the ship through an airlock. That’s how you take care of an alien infestation, and it’s what airlocks were built for. The good guys always win you alien bastards! Now stay out!
