There’s a fine line between being a fan and being a fanatic. This Nintendo-themed Frat House is off the charts fanaticism at its very finest. A chapter of Sigma Phi Epsilon decided to turn their master quarters into a Nintendo fanboy’s dream.

The frat features a laser shooter staircase, a Duck Hunt inspired foyer, paper-mache characters, and other Nintendo references that us geeks can truly appreciate. The photos of the crazy house say it all. We bow down to you fine sirs. (more…)

Light Saber Remote Control makes Jedi jealous

Remote controls are usually a dime a dozen. A flat piece of plastic with assorted buttons strewn on one side is a nice generic description of most remote controls. The Light Saber Remote Control adds some flavor to the same old, same old. Design company Taito, designed the Light Saber Remote out of sheer spite for the conforming designs of remote controls, while adding a geek enhanced skin of Star Wars fanaticism.

The Light Saber measures 7.87″ in length and contains the same general control buttons you might find on a normal remote control. They come in a selection of either off-white color or a black/off-white color. For only $20, you can own a remote that recently deceased remote control inventor Richard Adler would be proud of displaying. — Andrew Dobrow

GEEK ALERT: Batman obsession turns into Batman body mods

Filed under: Hacks, Wearables

Thinking of the pain this man must have endured for a tattoo on such a sensitive area of the body makes us cringe and shiver. As you can see, someone took their fanaticism of the Dark Knight a tad too far, brandishing Batwing eyebrow ink in the process. Now, we’ve known some pretty hardcore comic fans, but this is pretty ridiculous.

Hands down this is the most painful proof of comic obsession we have ever seen. We’ll admit it’s kind of cool as a concept, but to actually have it done? We don’t know what’s more disturbing. This or the equally odd, but intriguing wristwatch piercing. Wow. Wow. Wow. Wtf? ZOMG! — Andrew Dobrow

Mod-designer Chris Lucas seems to be a fan of the Kill Bill movies. In fact, he might need some professional help concerning his passion for the great, but not classic, Tarantino films. Though we must admit, in this case obsessive fanaticism has brewed up some nice mods for the Xbox 360 and a desktop tower. If you’d love to be reminded of the Black Mamba’s blood splattered across your electronic casing, these face plates are a perfect project for you to take on. Regardless of if you liked the movie or not, these designs just look bitchin’. Desktop tower pic after the jump.
