Our biggest fears have been realized. Terrorist groups no longer find satisfaction in just blowing themselves up, now there are reports of terrorists being trained to make detonators out of SEGA games. The terrorists have gone too far. Taking apart classic games for use in terrorist activities is not only a disservice to retro collectors all around the world but also threatens everyday gamers like myself.
Sorry to burst your bubble, pirates, but it seems that Nintendo’s next handheld unit will block flash carts used for pirating games. It took Nintendo a long enough time to take legal action against the creators of such flash carts as the R4 or N5, now it’s making damn sure that no one is going to illegally emulate its games.
The following flash carts are confirmed not to work on the Nintendo DSi:
Wearing a tuxedo without these cuff links should be a crime. Artist Laura Swingle hand crafts these highly detailed clay Nintendo cartridges in to a variety of jewelery pieces. Laura’s Etsy shop offers a limitless supply of creativity as she is open to taking requests on turning any two games into these cuff links, so long as she can find the cover art online.
Besides the popular Mike Tyson’s Punch Out, TETRIS, Super Mario Bros 3, Paper Boy, Bubble Bobble, Zelda (gold cartridge), Dr. Mario and Metroid games we all know and love, Laura will also accept requests for Sony PlayStation games. The cuff links range from $19-$22 dollars depending on how much of a pain in the ass your order is to fulfill. So, don’t go too crazy and try to request a Lester the Unlikely pair of cuff links: it’s just not happening.
It doesn’t take a genius to realize that your local grocer’s shopping cart is packed with germs. Between the babies shitting in the seat and those Dunkaroos smashed underneath a case of soda, there’s said to be over 1 million germs on a cart. Now a system called PureCart could give you a clean shopping cart every time.
The low-cost solution apparently works as follows:
…the PureCart System uses an FDA and EPS approved quick-drying sanitizing solution to quickly clean the entire cart. Sanitizing a cart is as easy as pushing it through the cleaning station where the solution is automatically sprayed on, and for non-wheeled items like a basket or a child seat a wand is also provided to make purifying them just as easy.
Sounds great and all but I think I’ll just stick to the bottle of Purell.
They say malt liquor tastes better on the street. I wouldn’t know because I don’t live in a cardboard condominium but I do enjoy my malt liquor. Apparently so do designers Barry Sheehan and Gregor Timlin for their concept of the Shelter Cart in light of Designboom’s mobile living/storage competition.
It’s your standard cart but flip it over and you’ve got yourself a chillin’ bachelor pad. Why stay homeless when you can have the luxuries of life without the bullshit that comes along with paying for utilities and doing your taxes? Invite all the ladies over, but please, no sex in the champagne room. The cart was made to raise awareness about the issue of urban homelessness, not for breeding more hobos. Everyone’s screamin’ for change.
