I sort of feel like Kanye West posting about modern pop-style furniture, so of course, there’s only one thing that can be said. Wait for it…
This chair is pretty good, and I’mma let you finish, but the Mouse Pad Sofa is the greatest geeky piece of furniture of all time.
Every year around Halloween I go on a serious sugar bender. There’s something about this season that fuels the five-year-old inside of me. The problem is that I can literally look at a slice of cake and gain five pounds.
So while this Game Boy cake looks extra scrumptious with its M&M Tetris design goin’ on, I think I might have to say no to a slice of this delicious creation. Oh… what the hell… om nom nom.
I’m in love with the subtle beauty of these two awesome t-shirt concepts. The Pac-Man shirt features Packy om-nomming your buttons while the Tetris tee shows a set of Tetris blocks at the base of the shirt, but my favorite part is the long vertical Tetris block used as the zipper. Hit the jump to see the Tetris shirt.
If you’re not the type to get something quite as permanent as a geeky tattoo, a new do is a great alternative for showing off your geekiness, as witnessed through this awesome Tetris hair style.
Even if this is a little too “in-your-face” for you, there are some other awesome ways to display your love for retro gaming. Me? I’m comfortable in the fact that I’ll be a geek the rest of my life, and I’m not scared to show it.
We’ve already witnessed a few examples of ultra-realistic video game creations, but nothing that mixes the gaming aesthetic with reality quite as well as this Jump ‘n’ Run photography series by Patrick Runte.
The series features classic gaming characters in real-life scenarios, illustrating what exactly the games would look like if they were live-action rather than bit-tastic. Check out a bunch more after the jump.
Would life be easier or more complicated if Tetris was played using an airplane? Well, at least we can promise one fact with certainty; it would be a hell of a lot more expensive.
As you all as my witnesses, one day, when I move out of my humble cardboard box, I will play Tetris using an airplane, oh yes, I will play Tetris from an airplane. And don’t worry about casualties. I’ll have the money to pay off their kin. Or at least I’ll have enough money for an delicious automatic weapon.
Remember when Bush number one was president, the dust from the fallen Berlin wall had barely settled and a little handheld gadget named Game Boy ruled supreme? The Game Boy iPhone Pouch takes me back to the days of laying in bed for hours, trying to beat my own high score of Tetris.
I’ve been one of those bare back iPhone users. Letting my phone get some air doesn’t seem to have caused much damage, though the awesomeness of this pouchy case is calling my name. Either that, or those voices are back. Maybe I should get my medication dosage checked.
I can’t even begin to tell you how many countless hours of my life were once wasted on Tetris for the original Nintendo Game Boy. I was 3 or 4 years old and would play the living shit out of that game. My mother would too and could easily reach levels upwards of 100. I suppose that on the 25th Anniversary of the game, we should be thanking its creator, the legendary Alexey Pajitnov. This Russian computer scientist is the brains behind the blocks, which has sold over 125 million copies to date. Has your software ever sold 125 million copies? Didn’t think so.
Personally, I still play Tetris on Facebook, loved Tetris DS and have always wanted to play Hyper Tetris.
Wow. Look at the costume this guy made for Ohayocon 2009. It’s an old school Nintendo Game Boy made out of cardboard. But what’s this? His costume is actually a full fucking working replica? Holy shit kid. Nice work. You can actually use the cardboard D-pad and buttons to play Tetris. I’d like to know how he made this thing.
Tetris-themed items seem to be the latest trend in home decorating. We’ve already seen mirrors and ice trays shaped like the puzzle pieces from the classic video game, but now there are tiles that let you take Tetris into the shower. A British company is making Tetris Tiles that let you make multicolored puzzle patterns on the walls and floor of your bathroom.
Tetris Tiles are made from Italian ceramics and they can come in any Pantone color of your choosing. The tiles are custom cut, so they take up to 3-4 weeks for delivery.
