And it’s in good company. Also being inducted to the Strong National Museum of Play’s Toy Hall of Fame this year is the ball. That’s right, the ball.
I always felt the Game Boy never got its true dues. The Game Boy was it. Still is “it” as far as I’m concerned. What other handheld console can you honestly say had more influence on the handheld gaming market than the Game Boy? I rest my case.
They don’t make gaming consoles like they used too. Do you think a PSP would be able to withstand a Gulf War bombing and live to tell the tale? That’s exactly what this Game Boy has managed to do.
Despite being blown into a burnt plastic mess this Game Boy still somehow maintains the ability to trudge along its gaming destiny, still playable and for the most part, surprisingly intact.
We’ve seen Mario’s henchmen in LEGO form before, but never have we seen the man himself quite like this. Weighing in at a massive 110 pounds and standing 5 feet 9 inches tall, this life sized Mario model is completely structured, modeled and built using over 40,000 LEGO bricks. The pictures do all the talking here.
Built specifically for the Netherlands’ Game Mania by Dirk VH, the result of this massive undertaking is to be sold on eBay, with all proceeds heading off to charity, most likely to aid starving plumbers.
The Wiimote is much more of a versatile tool than I think even Microsoft could have imagined. People have hacked the Wiimote to create some zany and awesomely practical mods. But I think “lawnmower control” is a new one.
The Casmobot Lawnmower is navigated using nothing but a hacked Wiimote and the crafty engineering by several scientists at the University of Southern Denmark. The mower syncs with the Wiimote via Bluetooth, allowing the user to control the cutting edge, the direction of the mower and even allows you to set a autopilot mode, in which the mower only mows within a designated area.
I’m really digging this Space Invaders fabric I spotted over at Sprite Stitch. I would so rock a pillow set made out of this cloth. My house is just waiting to be upholstered in this material.
Somehow I don’t feel my girlfriend would be very supportive of the idea.
Nintendo’s president Satoru Iwata says that the company is debating whether or not a future model of the DS will take a book from Amazon’s book marketplace device, the Kindle, and offer digital downloads over the mobile 3G network.
With this business model, Nintedo DS users wouldn’t be required to pay a monthly fee for 3G access, but would pay an overhead price included in the retail pricing, basically providing the user with a one-time fee for lifetime access to the network. Providing 3G downloads would allow users to download DLC on-the-go. If much of your town or city is still Wifi-less, you might want to consider petitioning for this idea. Though these days, most major cities are Wifi’d from border to border.
There’s something about Pac-Man that draws car owners to paste him all over their vehicles. This car might not have the gullwing doors have the last Pac car we posted about, but what it does have is an additional dose of Packy flair.
Everything down to the rims is adorned with Pac-love, and I’m simply loving the custom leather upholstery. This is one retro gaming-mobile I would not be embarrassed to rock around my town.
Things have really changed since the days of NES game releases. Ok, maybe things haven’t changed that much.
These wheatpaste game covers are the result of AltrdBst’s handy work. Taking us back to the good ole’ days when racism was acceptable and assassination was expected.
The detail on these lighters is insane. I wish I had kept my hands on my old Sega Saturn and Genesis consoles. Sonic the Hedgehog taught me everything I needed to know to grow into the adult I am today. Sure, I’m an adult that laughs at the word “boobies” (lol) every time he hears it, but still. These Sega Zippos are almost exact clones of their console counterparts.
You know how your Sega Saturn would start spewing flames from its side if you used it too long? This is sort of the same thing except actually useful.
A man of many identities, Lincoln was ashamed to showcase his geeky side, even if that geekiness happened to be a century ahead of his time.
Let’s thank Secretary of the Treasury Joe D! for providing us with this excellent rendition of the greatest president ever.
