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.
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?
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.
As an admitted Snuggie lover, I know what sort of effect the Snuggie can have on your love life, or lack there of. The Snuggie is such a sterile piece of gear that even those of you in steady relationships will notice a steep decrease in sexual activity once you purchase the blanket with arms.
But all of that negativity is almost worth it thanks to the new Street Fighter IV Snuggie design. I could go a few months with just me and my hand if it means cuddling up with this beautiful piece of fleece.
King Midas might have missed his true calling. Transforming gaming consoles into golden pieces of luxurious entertainment. Computer-Choppers offers a sneak peek at their PS3 Slim dipped in 24-karat gold.
Only five of these golden geese will be produced, so the price is sure to be even more extravagant than just a “normal” golden PS3.
Even if my NES were still around, I doubt it would work. There’s something about sitting around in a dusty closet that doesn’t work well with the functioning hardware of gaming consoles. But don’t let it’s inability to work get you down. There are still plenty of possibilities.
The NEStickle is a Sanwa joystick, including buttons, built right inside of an old defunct NES console. The stick with compatible with Xbox 360, PS3, PS2 and even Windows, Mac and Linux machines. While the NEStickle is certainly not the most space conscious gadget, if nothing else it’s an awesome example of console recycling.
I’ve never claimed to be the most hygienic blogger among us, nor have I claimed to vacuum my humble apartment as regularly as I should, but I imagine if I had a cleaning rig like this, I might just set-out to clean my home at least once a week.
Utilizing five different Roombas instead of only one, which we’ve seen previously, this Pac-Man Roomba set-up insures that you have a little amusement while the Roombas do their jobs. The genius creator behind the Roomba Pac-Man game has also rigged the system up so that the ghost Roombas can distinguish the Pac-Man Roomba from the rest, thus setting into “chase mode.” Alright, enough talk, let’s get cleaning. Check out the vid after the jump.
When I think wedding cakes I think five foot tall tiered monsters, not one leveled gaming cakes. Don’t get me wrong, I think this cake would be absolutely AWESOME for a birthday or anniversary or even just a gaming get-together, but I think something as sacred as a geeky wedding calls for a little more than a single level Tetris cake.
They also don’t take into consideration the basic premise of the game. If these piece were all in place, the lines would have already vanished into your score. Come on people, think!
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.
