As Ryan suggested the other day, why not play beer pong to entertain a group of guests you’re having over? It’s a great way to keep the party alive and get drunk at the same time. Except now, some shitty game publisher is ruining the sport forever by publishing a game called Beer Pong for the Nintendo Wii. Riddle me ...

Problem: Richard Gaywood has an Xbox Live Account with the username “RichardGaywood.” This is a legitimate use of a gamertag. Microsoft gets a complaint about Dick Gaywood’s name and his handle is removed. Solution: Your name is Dick Gaywood, dude. I really suggest getting your name changed. Link

A lot of you are under the impression that the consoles I selected for my 10 Worst Gaming Consoles of All Time post were chosen for the fact that I simply don’t like them. You couldn’t be further from the truth with that assumption. The Nokia N-Gage being a portable console and my half-assed rant aside, I believe that in ...

Looking to get the most out of your DS? DS Fanboy has compiled a great homebrew guide for all you coders and hackers who are interested in using the Nintendo DS as a development platform.

This latest piece of legal software, KORG DS-10, stays true to the homebrew movement and offers an emulated version of a KORG analog synthesizer. You’ll be ...

Mario fans will most likely go apeshit over this lamp. It’s a fantastic, smoothed out replica of the mushroom power-up from Super Mario Bros. that doubles as a lamp. But it’s not just any lamp. It’s an Ambiance Lamp. That’s right. Experience the ambiance this lamp has to offer whilst you drink Absinthe and listen to chiptunes in your beautiful ...

UPDATE 5/21: Make sure to check out this post, too: Sorry to Disappoint, Fanboys. The console wars were more ferocious than any other war in history. You could say they top the Vietnam War, but you won’t. Many companies would rise and fall through the video game crash of 1983, yet only one would prevail to be the most terrible. ...

Did you know that gaming consoles can contain materials hazardous to the environment? Of course you did. How else would a Playstation 3 crank out those sick graphics without some kind of processing unit that’s guaranteed to rot the earth. Then, in comes Greenpeace to spoil everyone’s fun. This year, it tested the Nintendo Wii, Sony PS3 and Xbox 360 ...

This is the shit. Sorry, but there’s really no other way to describe my excitement for this mod. For under $100, including the cost of the controller, Dave was able to create a full-fledged MIDI controller from a wireless Guitar Hero guitar. Wondering what you can do with it?
