No Backing Down: Super Mario Doesn’t Always Win
It's evident that the hero concept in gaming is slowly coming to an end. We're no longer interested in saving the girl, the world or anything else for that matter. We simply just want entertaining gameplay, and a way to kick some butt it seems.

Star Wars Birthday Cakes: There’s No Other Way To Celebrate
My birthday is a while off, but that doesn't mean I am not checking out cakes already. Celebrating birthdays to me isn't the same as it used to be. Years ago, we got all our friends to come over, and we had a blast in whatever way kids did back then. We played Nintendo, played "putting the tail on t ...
18 Pulp Fiction Characters Forever Pixel Immortalized
They have become a cult phenomenon, and they keep appearing at least once a week nowadays. I am of course talking about the pixelized movie characters that take us back to the 8-bit era when Commodore 64 and its peers founded the gaming landscape that we're used to today.

Angry Birds: The Movie (Trailer)
I don't know which is more fun to read about, the fact that a full-length film could conceivably be based on an app, or that Rooster Teeth was able to make this look exactly like a Michael Bay movie. Of course, the whole thing is a spoof.
It's cute to see some of the comments on the Internet abou ...

The Evolution Of Video Game Controllers [Infographic]
Ahh... video game controllers. If you are like a lot of geeks, you can graph your life based on what video games you played at the time.

The Kiss Controller: Video Game Controlled By Smooches

It's been done for many years now, and it comes in several different forms and shapes. The materials used are always different, but the technique used is the same.

Nanocade: The Lap Arcade Console For Hip ’80s Kids
It's rare nowadays to see something inspirational enough when it comes to gaming.

To capture the attention of the geek kids from back in th ...

The magic of entering a hall full of 8-bit music and people cheering for each other is what I miss the most, and I have no i ...

Eco-Friendly Land Art: Created From Dirt, Rocks & Leaves
Since I'm a huge fan of nature and art, I especially like artwork that takes nature as we know it and gives it a twist. For example, these photographs of pixilated gaming characters romping around outside that Richard wrote about last week were really cool!
Today I would like to share with you t ...

This Is Jada: The First Working Badminton Robot In The World
Sports have always been the main activity for kids to get their butts out the door. For grown-ups, it's a bit different since with age we seem to slow down on the activities a little and become couch potatoes.
