Starring Mark Zuckerberg as Rich Uncle Pennybags! The goal is simple. Buy as much stock in the social media properties scattered across the board until you control all of the game’s money. Just watch out. You don’t want to land on Paypal or wind-up locked up in MySpace oblivion. Land on the wrong space and you’ll wind up backtraced by ...

Pac-Man Seance T-Shirt
Grandma? Is that you? No, dipshit. It’s me, Blinky. And I was just about to catch Pac-Man at his last life. So if you’d be so kind, would you please shut the fuck up and send me back to the game? Thanks a lot. This Pac-Man Seance t-shirt is currently being voted on at Threadless. If you’d like to see ...

You know what they say about stop-motion? Each minute of footage takes about 6-7 hours to film, give or take. Sure, it’s labor intensive. I’ll give them that. But can it handle the superb sci-fi RTS action of StarCraft? It can… to a certain point. While it sure as hell looks awesome, even LEGO bricks can’t solve the problems of ...

People have started receiving their Starcraft II pre-orders in the mail. Of course, the first thing they’re going to do is through the disc in the ole drive and start gaming away. Not so. Blizzard is restricting the general audience of getting a head start over everyone else by blocking access to the game until tomorrow. When attempting to play ...

Taking inspiration from my two favorite geek icons of all time, Flickr user mrksaari created these real-life Super Mario zombie cosplay costumes. Princess Peach looks like she’s holding her own just fine, so I’m pretty sure the Mario clan has a new objective. And I’ll give you a hint. It starts with “b” and ends with “rains.” While mushrooms were ...

It was devastating the first time you heard it and it’s just one of those things that doesn’t get easier to stomach. Yes, when I found out that Tetris didn’t exactly follow the laws of physics I was completely blindsided. “What else aren’t they telling me?” I thought. Next I’ll be hearing that Dr. Mario doesn’t even have his Ph. ...

Rumor has it that the Princess has been kidnapped. Again. I swear, sometimes it feels like she’s doing it on purpose. Anyway, lord knows I’m way too drunk to go on a ever-lasting quest to save that attention whore. Using my unstoppable power of Hassid, I can create a golem. A man of the Earth. But not using dirt. Oh, ...

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

Inspired by the original SNES version of Super Mario Kart, the game’s board game counterpart recently made an appearance at the Tokyo Toy Show 2010, far from our own shores, but close enough to inspire a hardy “DO WANT!” to escape my lips. The idea is that two players each have a separate, parallel track around the board, and around ...
