It's Wednesday night. You have no date, a two-liter bottle of Shasta, your all-Rush mixtape, and, now, this impossibly good Space Invaders (http://kotaku.com/tag/spaceinvaders/) clone built on Futurama's epic "Raiders of the Lost Arcade" (http://www.comedycentral.com/videos/index.jhtml?title=space-invaders&videoId=162725) vignette from the third season of Futurama.
Seven months in development. Shinobi's Place has released "Invaders! Possibly from Space!" to the wild - free - for PC. It recreates Fry's fight against Lrrr's (http://futurama.wikia.com/wiki/Lrrr) invading horde ("Increase speed, drop down, and reverse direction!") with so much more - episode dialogue, power-ups, and of course, the all-Rush mixtape soundtrack. That means at least three IPs infringed upon here. I can only hope that Taito, Fox, Matt Groening, and Rush can come to a quick agreement that something this awesome must be allowed to live. In case they don't, run go get it quick before it is C&D'd to death.
