A really cool flash video of the Mario story.
Boing Boing has a link to one of the coolest games ever, only even cooler. Wolfenflickr combines old-school gamer favorite, Wolfenstien, and a flickr stream to spruce up those ugly nazi paintings orginally found in the game. Have fun kids, and remember, Hitler was a failed artist too.
A hardcore detailed Mario wedding cake. My honey wants one of these for our wedding now. Seriously though, I couldn’t make myself cut that cake…it’s just too cool. Neatorama has more details.
I am in coolness overload with this awesome post on WebUrbanist featuring 20 examples
of fantastic geek art.
Mad props to the Firefox graffiti. Don’t forget to check out the skeltons of famous cartoon characters by Hyungkoo Lee.
Hi all,
I wanted to let you know that at Comic Con I have interviews 
with the creators of the new Strong Bad videogame (I’ll also be demo-ing it).
I also will be interviewing Adam De La Pena, the creator and writer of Code Monkeys and Minoriteam.
If you have anything you’d like me to ask these people, let me know so I can add the questions to my notes. Thanks!
UPDATE: The interview with Adam of Code Monkeys is not going to happen at this Comic Con. Sorry to disappoint.
A vibrator for your Wii remote that comes in men and women’s designs. Video game sex toys, it’s finally happened.
And I thought my Wii was fun NOW.
Hey all you anime fans, video game nerds and other losers who can never understand why they can’t pull a chick even though they still rely on virtual sunshine, here’s your chance to finally touch some titties. Rejoice geeks, Battical has informed the world of the existence of this 3D anime mouse pad available at ninjagizmos.com will let you fondle your day away without having to bother with that pesky “talking to real people” thing.
At least it’s ergonomic.
InventorSpot has a list of four cool video games that are educational as well as fun. I’m not too crazy about most educational video games, but he posted the OG “Oregon Trail” and “Where in The World Is Carmen San Diego.” Where on earth would I have been without those beauties?
Also, he forgot Mavis Beacon…while much of the game was kinda lame, the grocery store conveyor belt game to teach you the number key pad rocked. Seriously, it was awesome.
