Mario Party

I am jealous, confused, and a little terrified.



See the whole set of pictures from the party.

What is this I don't even

A glimpse of things to come?

Eclectic Method - 8 Bit Mixtape from Eclectic Method on Vimeo.

Well, not really. But still a pretty cool (and somewhat disturbing) montage from Eleclectic Method.

Lucky Brother

boobalay1983 has made an awesome set of NES cupcakes for her brother's 21st birthday.

From her description:

Chocolate devil food cupcakes, filled with peanut butter and fizz whizz filling and iced with chocolate cream cheese frosting, topped with a fondant disk.
I was heavily influenced by these amazing super mario cakes here on flickr and had to have a go myself, for my mad gamer bro.

See more of her cupcakes here.

Great job, boobalay1983!

Excitebike Design Guide

Everyone likes designing courses in Excitebike. No one likes trying to remember which letter corresponds with which obstacle. That's where this Excitebike Design Guide comes in handy.

"Tetris" couch

This designer came up with a couch inspired by Tetris.



I never like Tetris-related furniture for two reasons:

1. Having a full line of Tetronimoes makes no nerd sense because that line should clear when completed.

2. Putting gaps between your Tetronimoes so you avoid #1 ends up just looking awkward, because then you usually just have single black blocks.

This couch suffers from problem #2 as well as a problem of its own...how exactly are you supposed to sit on this thing? Oh, he tells us we are supposed to sit like this:



I can't see this party lasting that long. Blue Guy Left will be dying for a back rest within 20 minutes, and there's no way Blue Guy Right stays on his elbow like that for more than about 15 seconds.

This looks much better suited for a customizable ottoman collection.

NES Max

Real men don't need turbo buttons or wingtips on their controllers. Real men get thumb blisters and carpal tunnel, and they enjoy every second of it. In my opinion, the NES Max falls under the same category as the Game Genie: For cheaters only.

NES Coffee Table

I'm going to get the NES comforter set, and then I'm going to buy one of these coffee tables. Eventually, I will turn my couch, refrigerator, toilet, and blender into giant NES replicas. My goal is to live in a house where everything is a Nintendo. Thanks to mattcyborgelt, I'm well on my way.






Controller ports as functional power plugs? That's just sick.

The best NES comforter set you'll see today

There is no way this guy isn't getting laid like 100 times a day, right? Girls love nerds, and this guy is obviously a huge nerd. And I am jealous beyond words. Not even of the girls. I want the bedset, dangit.

"Duck Hunt is a home video blood sport..."

Go on...

"...with no blood..."

"...and a sense of humor."

Martin Levin, you teasing bastard.


"Then there are tennis, baseball, soccer, Kung Fu, and action games that I resisted sampling because of their addictive potential..."

Yes, yes, yes! I am going to get hooked and then play the shit out of these games all day.

"...Just kidding."

I hate you, Martin.
