We’ve loved almost every single Xbox 360 case mod we’ve ever seen, except the ones which are designed to glorify your fandom for the Twilight series. And seeing as we’ve only seen one Twilight-themed Xbox, I think you get the point. (We hate this damn thing) If you like this sort of crap (you might also like our great collection ...

While the Xbox 360 still has a few years left before you can dump it in the gutter with Grandma’s ashes, you know that Microsoft is already working on the design of the Xbox 720, which is likely to include the motion-detecting Project Natal, I might add. So… what could the Xbox 720 possibly look like? While this concept is ...

Not like you haven’t wasted enough hours on Nintendo. This Nintendo Rubik’s Cube features six sides of retro gaming goodness, including the iconic logos from six different classic Nintendo games including Zelda, Super Mario Bros., Pokemon, Star Fox, Kirby and Metroid. Link [via] (Thanks Eran!)

There’s not much you can do after you’ve lost all your money playing Texas Hold ‘Em. Can’t go out. Can’t order food in. You’re broke and left with a set of (I swear the damned things are cursed) poker chips. What’s a geek to do? Eureka! *light bulb switches on* An idea arises! You might be broke, you might be ...

Developed and built by robotics man Drew, this “walking machine” resembles a four-legged spider and walks with an unusual hoppish gait. Designed to entertain, entertain it does.

In fact, these Xbox 360 controller magnets could find themselves holding an honorable spot on my fridge. Each set is $20, so it’ll hardly make a huge dent in your pocket. But it ...

I’ve had chess sets destroyed, maliciously sacked by an epic battle rudely interrupting a game in mid-turn. I swore that it will NEVER happen again. I refuse to lose a game in progress just because I’m on a crusade for religious freedom. This Chainmail Chess Set is made of the same stuff I use to protect myself from sword wounds ...

For people who grew up on games like Pac-Man, Asteroids, Donkey Kong, Space Invaders and Super Mario Bros. these Retro Arcade Game Messenger Bags are like a little piece of heaven. I’m a geek, which means I tote a lot of crap around with me wherever I go. My camera, a book or two, my various electronics, a moleskine, so ...

A generous Instructible user laid out the step-by-step process of building your own custom Nintendo bartop cabinet. Warning: Two cases of Diet Coke are required for completion. This cabinet supplies you with your very own personal NES arcade console, compact into one arcade-ish interface. Link

This calculator only does a sub-par job of mimicking the Xbox 360 controller. Why, exactly, is this such a ripoff? No friggen Y button. WTF. Do the math. (Hardy-har) We’ve been short-changed. Link
