If the Castle level of Super Mario Bros. sounded like this I might not mute my TV whenever I reached this point in the game. Something about the original castle theme just irritated the hell out of me. That’s probably why it never reached the same iconic level as the other levels themes.
Props to the band Nylithia for the awesome death metal rendition. We really need a mod for this, so developers, get on it.
Some might say Pac-Man is making a comeback, I say he never left.
Fill your mug with your favorite heated beverage and watch as the answers to the mysterious of life are revealed. At least with the Pac-Man Mug you won’t be destroying the environment or even worse, looking like some cocoa-toting grandmother.
How do you take your Jack Daniel’s? I prefer mine with a twist of strategy and just a hint of geekery. Oh… and three ice cubes please.
The Jack Daniel’s Chess Set encourages drunken chess tournaments, which can never end good. What experience I have playing chess under the influence ended with one broken chess set and a trip to the hospital for an emergency extraction procedure.
In preparation for the tremendous Christmas rush, EA Sports has taken it upon themselves to open a pair of stores, one in San Francisco, one in Boston, dedicated to only one game: EA Sports Active.
Sure, the demand for Active is so exceedingly high that normal retail outlets are sure to be bombarded with a stampede of eager EA maniacs… really, it requires its own storefront? And not only one… but two? And are there actually people in there that aren’t employees? Who are these people?
Thretris creates these awesome custom painted NES consoles. Pictured here are the Kill Bill, 80’s and Sky themes.
My girlfriend has been begging me for an original NES system for Christmas. Now if I can just get her a custom painted pink and girly console, we’ll be set.
I’ve debated building a shrine to the NES for years now, but I’ve never actually gotten around to acting on the idea. Spotted over at the Super Potato retro gaming store in Akihabara, Japan, this 7-foot tall throne was made entirely out of Famicom cartridges, creating an apt shrine for the gamer who demands to be the king of his own domain.
Sometimes realism isn’t exactly what we want in our video games. We want to escape, not be hassled by the reality of… reality. Cracked.com hosted an awesome Photoshop contest, encouraging their users to come up with ways to make video games just a tad more realistic, hence somewhat less playable. Some of the results were absolutely genius.
Here are a few of our favorites, but their are a whopping 27 of these photos over at Cracked.
True Scrabble geeks know that a game can never last long enough. Before you know it there’s no more room to create new words, the scores are tallied and BOOM, you’re named the winner, as usual. But us Scrabble junkies demand a more in-depth experience.
This Extra Large Scrabble board is equipped with 441 squares, compared to the standard 225. The game also included 200 letter tiles instead of the usual 100. So basically you’re getting two games for the price of one. Or one large game for the price of two. I dunno, I was never great in math.
Monopoly is one of the most widely played board games in the entire world, so it shouldn’t be too much of a surprise that players (or at least UK players as of now) can finally create their own personalized version of the game, featuring custom street names, places, spaces and icons. Hell. you could even create your own recession version if you really wanted too.
As long as your willing to shell out the £79.95 it costs to create your own game, Firebox allows you to personalize the board game in six easy steps. Uncle Pennybags would be so proud.
This might just be Mario and Luigi’s attempt to get their name in the papers only days before the release of the new Super Mario Bros. Wii game, but apparently the two plumbers were spotted assaulting a NYC cab driver.
Don’t get too discouraged quite yet, your two favorite plumbers still might have a chance. Number one, the attack was on Halloween, so it might not be the REAL Mario and Luigi, but perhaps the work of two impostors. The fact that it happened in 4D also lends credibility to a fake. A third man, who was wearing a tuxedo, is also being sought. No mention of if they were packing mushrooms at the time of the incident.
