Rely on a bulb made out of pixels and you’ll likely be left in the dark. This ain’t no 2D world, sucka. We need light with three dimensions.
I could see this working in a awesome in a totally pixel-themed room, but other than that this shit will just look out of place and pretty useless. I love it, but only in the right circumstances.
You’ve got to complete the pixelated feng shui you were going for at your pad. Finally, coasters that’ll match your wallpaper and yard decorations. At first glance, these look no different than a series of coasters linked together for you to rip off accordingly. But, upon closer inspection, they turn out to be so much more than that.
Each coaster is made up of 110 individual one centimeter squares that enable you to make your own custom pixel creations out of them. It’s art you can make yourself, for yourself. They come in two colors: pink and blue. A stack of 50 coasters goes for around $8 bucks, which is a steal. You’ll have more coasters than you’ll ever know what to do with. So, why not give the art thing a try? You’ve got nothing to lose except your high score.
The Pixelation forum came up with a neat contest for it’s users. They poked at the question, “what would modern games look like on an original Gameboy?” They ask their users to re-create screenshots of their favorite modern games in pixelated Gameboy-form.
You’ll find games like Guitar Hero, BioShock, ICO, Okami, Sam & Max, Flashback (not so modern but very cool) and so many more. Needless to say, we’re very impressed with some of the images their community has come up with. Kudos, guys. The forum is now holding a contest for user’s to make their own Mega Man level, with the only restriction being the graphical limitations of the original NES games. Show ‘em what you got.
