The Lego of Zelda

The Lego of Zelda

How cool would it be to have our very own Lego theme? Well Mingles has gone out of his way to work on his own rendition in hopes to bring this to light. Nintendo, Lego, do you copy? Over the last year I have personally spent a huge amount of time designing these 3D models of LEGO scaled items from the Legend of Zelda series. Despite being able to manufacture them to… Read more

Nintendo spoils a great commercial

Nintendo spoils a great commercial

Clean it good! I recently read that Nintendo changed a commercial they maid for Mario's 25th anniversary. I looked up the videos and noticed the difference.  The first video is the original video that shows this kid come home, turn on his old tv and change it to channel 3.  He then blows on the cartridge , pops it in, and starts playing.  I loved this commercial! It turns out that Nintendo… Read more

Mini Arcades

Mini Arcades

In the spirit of procrastination I decided to post about a mini arcade I found.  I'm not sure if this is old news, but it's interesting.  This guy built mini arcades using a turbo grafx 16 and a sega genesis.  He used these mini ps1 portable screens, a retro arcade stick you hook up to a tv, and old systems.  They came out pretty nice! The post is in Spanish, but you… Read more

Retro-arcades and Hipster Culture

Retro-arcades and Hipster Culture

In the picture you can see one of my friends playing pac man.  He took me to this bar, full of hipsters, table arcades, a… Read more

New old games

It's oldschool! It's back in 3d form! Withall these advancements in 3d games we always come back to good 'ol 2d (and by 2d I mean on a 2d plane) game play.

What do you all think? Do… Read more

Metroid Fan Comic

I recently found this comic and really enjoyed the art.  I was surprised how well some of the later images were illustrated.  The story is a little odd, and the writing needs a bit of work, but the art is top notch! Some nsfw illustrations, but overall it's fine.  For those of you not used to reading manga, remember you read from right to left then move down. I remember loving comics… Read more
