Next Generation Super Mario Packaging Store Displays
Recently I have been mesmerized by the intricate designs of store displays. They go to extravagant lengths to make us buy their stuff, and it usually works. Unfortunately we don't have many here where I am located, but I get my fix by checking out the displays that are available on the Internet. And ...

How We Use Our Brains [Infographic]
I don't know how many times a day I stumble over the fact that we're only using 20% of our brain while 80% is utter gray matter that is constantly idle. If we're only using this little of our brains, what could possibly be hiding in the other 80%? Maybe it is purely for development, or maybe it's fo ...
Beautification: The Star Wars Millennium Falcon XBox Mod
I think it's obvious to anyone reading Bit Rebels that we really like geeky cool stuff, especially gadgets that have been customized or modded. It's really nice to know that we aren't just sticking to the same ole boring designs that we sometimes see in the stores when we're hunting down our next ga ...
Retro 8-Bit Super Mario Ghostbusters Mashup
Some of you may have seen my post about the Depixelization Software that I wrote about the other day. It's basically an algorithm that transforms pixelated retro game art into smooth and up-to-date graphics. I have a sneaky suspicion that it compiles it into vectors which in turn makes the art not o ...
In A Perfect World: Life’s Daily Annoyances Illustrated
Have you ever had a day when you woke up at the wrong time because the AM/PM got mixed up on your alarm, then you walked to the kitchen only to realize there was no milk to put in your cereal? You reached for your iPhone, but it was out of battery. I haven't had a day that started out that rocky in ...
For Music Lovers: The Handmade Guitar String Bracelet
This is creativity at its best. Who would ever think to hand roll vintage sheet music and carefully coil steel guitar strings to create a beautiful bracelet? Tanith Rohe, a jewelry maker from the San Fransico Bay area, did. She is a self-proclaimed urban archaeologist and thrift store shopper.

World Record In Stiletto Racing (Yeah, It’s Possible)
I love high heels. I've been wearing them for years. I started out wearing them because I'm short, and every cosmo girl knows that nothing can make you feel more large and in charge than a hot pair of stilettos. However, I'm not going to lie, it takes practice to get used to wearing them. You have t ...
Sink Your Ship With The Battleship Drinking Game
Hmm... I can't decide if this looks like fun or if it would be a puking disaster. Brazilian design student, Mauricio (Tony) Harion, created this new version of the classic Battleship game. It's for adults only, and it's called Enigma - Battleship Drinking Game.
According to Coroflot, "It's played ...
Facts You Probably Didn’t Know About The Nintendo Company
I'm sure you know by now that we love Nintendo on Bit Rebels. We write about it a lot, and we've covered everything from the original NES all the way up to the Wii. I still remember the first time I discovered Mario. I was just a kid, and of course, at that moment I was convinced I had to get the Ma ...
Potato Portraits: The Real Life Potato Heads
A potato is a versatile little veggie, isn't it? Not only can we cook it about a million different ways, it can also be used as an artist's canvas. Next time you are sitting home bored on a Saturday night, just grab a potato from the kitchen, and you'll be guaranteed hours of fun. Ok, maybe not, but ...
Tiny Planet Photography: A Creative Way To View A Panorama
Panoramas are just plain cool, and this tiny planet photography takes it to a whole new level. A panorama is a wide-angle view of a space, and it's usually found in the form of a painting or photograph. Creative artists frequently use a panoramic view to illustrate landscapes and historical events. ...
Creative Photography: Dramatic Effects Of Red & Black
Earlier this month, I wrote an article called The Beauty Of Selective Color Photography. It highlighted the photography technique which involves converting a photo to black and white, but leaving some parts of it in color. It's truly a stunning effect.
In addition to using the contrast of certain ...
This Smooth Criminal Cover Will Mess With Your Head
Growing up I listened to my share of Michael Jackson (bless his soul) songs and became mesmerized by the lyrics just like everyone else. His songs have evolved into different meanings for pretty much everyone that has listened to them from the time they were kids all they way up until they are adult ...
8-Bit Characters Depixelized: Awesome Futurfication Software
I sometimes get really bummed out that the 8-bit era has ended, and the original artwork created in the '80s is forever over. Sure, we can create pixalated art pieces today, but that doesn't really make it the same, does it? No, it's the memories connected to the artwork that make it retro and cool. ...
Make A Functional Star Trek Door For Your Home
I love Star Trek doors. You don't have to be a Trekkie to know which doors I'm talking about. I was trying to figure out today what it is about those doors that makes them so cool. I think a big aspect of it is the way they sound. That woooooooosh sound when it opens is so geeky, and it always puts ...
