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 ...
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.

Soft & Fuzzy: Creative Felt Designs
I love felt. I don't know what it is about it, but it's a great material. It's got the yin and the yang. It's soft, yet tough. It can be colorful or dull. It's so versatile you can wear it in the form of socks or clean your car with it. I would probably drape myself in felt if it were socially accep ...
Simpsons Parodies: Famous Games Get A Makeover
To say that The Simpsons is not one of the most successful cartoon shows on the telly would be quite untruthful. The series has gone on forever it seems, and the jokes are sometimes nasty and evil. However, there is always a sense morale in the way that they tell their stories, at least sometimes. I ...

Fully Functional Paper Origami Cell Phone Design
It's funny how we go on and on about what tomorrow will hold as far as technology.

New World Record: The World’s Tallest Lego Tower
When I read that there was a new world record for the tallest Lego tower, my brain didn't really comprehend how tall it would be. This colorful tower of geeky goodness looks like it touches the sky!
