The Japanese equivalent of our homeland’s NES, the Nintendo Famicom (short for Family Computer) system is no doubt the system that influenced modern Japenese game designers the most during their childhood. Everyone had one. It was like the Dial Soap or the Michael Jackson’s Thriller of the Japanese youth. Famicom made a splash worldwide for the long-lasting effect it would ...

Owww… my childhood. At least he hasn’t moved on to designer mushrooms. I had an idea that Mario was a dealer. But a user? I knew not. It’s that pesky Luigi that got him into this mess. I just know it. I know it was you, Luigi. You broke my heart. Link

In a surprise keynote held at Apple’s Quahog division headquarters, Stewie Jobs announced the new iPhone 5. Stewie spent most of the keynote highlighting the device’s newest features which promise to kill Lois in ways before thought unimaginable. Slaughtering your family in the name of world domination? There’s an app for that. At least, there is now. Link

I love Fridays. And unicorns. But most of all Batman. Oh, oh and robots! Again, I love Fridays. The “Batman riding a robot unicorn” print was being sold on Etsy but has since been sold out. Who knows, you might get another shot. Link [via]

Ahhh, Jell-O Shots, the number one pastime of sororities across the country. But I bet you’ve never had a Jell-O-based beverage quite like this. These Jelloware cups are actually made out of Jell-O, jiggly and unstable, but totally fun and we imagine they’re pretty tasty too. Made by design troupe The Way We See The World, these Jelloware cups came ...

OK, so it might not be an Apple-approved model, but it gets the job done. For $250, which is more than the phone itself, even when bought with a new wireless contract, ColorWare will paint your iPhone 4 (much like they did for previous models) in any color combination you desire. So, yeah, for $250 you’re paying for a little ...

Created by Robert Cadena for a Cthulhu-themed art contest, Fail Cthulhu makes quite a larger splash then a loan fail whale. Because Cthulhu does not take social sites prisoner, under any circumstances. Once you’re in its grasps, your day has come. Once you smell him, it’s already too late. Link [via]

After all of the world’s major cities are decimated my nuclear weapons, engineers of the future might decide to rebuild with a cheaper building material alternative. Case in point, Jell-O. The Golden Gate Bridge would be a hell of a lot tastier, that’s for sure. You won’t want to hike through the city streets without a spoon and some Cool ...

Most city dwellers rely on their feet more than anything, but there are more than a handful that prefer to cruise around their respective hoods on wheels. Most of these bikers you’ll see with backpacks or messenger bags, because when you live a city, leaving your bike parked on the street without a lock and chain is not an option ...

It’s about time Comic Sans earned some respect. When Cleveland Cavs owner Dan Gilbert authored a scathing letter of hate directed at LeBron James after his decision to leave C-Town, there were apparently no other fonts that illustrated his anger quite as well as Comic Sans. And it’s a good thing too, because I feared that Sans would never get ...
