Comparison chart shows the relative sizes of machines and monsters from the worlds of gaming and film

The infographic, which has unsurprisingly gone viral, shows the relative sizes of all the most famous machines and monsters from the worlds of gaming and film by placing them, for scale, next to a pixel-sized human, the Sydney Opera House, the Titanic and, for good measure, the Great Pyramid at Giza.Unusually for the world of high geekery, there seems to be widespread consensus that the author, a 16-year-old American who goes by the handle, Lexinator117, has done a pretty accurate job.

The result is an eye-opener. I mean,SRRL50D Main Specification manufacturers and exporters had you even heard of the Reaper Destroyers from the game Mass Effect 3? No? Well, listen up – it turns out they are the biggest baddies in the sci-fi playground they're even larger than the Starship Enterprise, which I thought was massive, but turns out to be smaller than the Titanic.That's not the only world-rocker either. Those huge-looking AT-AT walkers from Star Wars turn out to be smaller than the Statue of Liberty. And King Kong... pah, he's absolutely tiny.If you remember the heyday of giant arcade halls filled with stand-up coin-op machines, then you'll also remember that one day they seemingly all disappeared. What was it like to live through that bygone era?

The Final Day at Westfield Arcade—a SRRL50F Main Specification manufacturers and exporters by Andy Hunt—explores what it felt like to have a digital childhood evaporate as its main character tries to jump to adulthood.Many of the strong memories we have about certain games has to do with what we were doing in our lives when we encountered them. If you first played Pac-Man when your parents divorced, all that ghost-gobbling might mean something a little different. Here's a synopsis and you can read the opening pages from The Final Day at Westfield Arcade in the preview below.
