Retro Super Mario 8-Bit Wedding Invitations
These are the geekiest, most creative and fantastic wedding invitations I've seen in a long time. I remember last spring when Richard wrote about the guy who proposed to his girlfriend in a very Super Mario Bros way. The video went viral, and I'm curious to know if that happy couple is already marri ...
Tetris Art: A Luigi Pattern Created While Playing Tetris
I remember Tetris in the arcades in the '80s. It was always next to Pac-Man, Galaga, Space Invaders, Arkanoid and the other classics. Tetris was a little different though, and it attracted a different kind of player. Tetris was known back then as being the video game for the "smart kids," and I didn ...
This Geeky Kickass NES Mod Makes Me Hot & Heavy
Is it weird that I get so excited over a well-done, glossy, geeky NES mod? I hope not. We see a lot of these mods, but rarely are they as nicely done as this. The last time I saw an NES mod that was this cool was the one that was turned into a fabulous to-die-for lunchbox. If you want to see that on ...
Super Mario Fans: Geeky Wii Video Game Charm Bracelet
I don't know what's going on lately, but it seems like geeky jewelry is becoming more and more popular. Each week we feature items from Etsy and other similar sites, and the designs are getting better and more creative each time. This bracelet is one of my favorite ones I've seen so far.
This is ...
The Best Cosplay From Comic-Con 2011
Everyone knows that Comic-Con isn't about the cosplay, but at the same time, the cosplay is one of the coolest parts of the event. I've never been to Comic-Con, but I've read tons of articles about it. I'm always drawn to the cosplay pictures for some reason.
The cosplay at that event is just so ...
Creepy Cool Illustrations Of Mario’s Enemies
What do you get when you mix a love of playing Mario games, some insane sketching talent and a dash of dark energy? You get these very creepy cool illustrations. I stared at these for a while just admiring the details. We've featured a lot of different Mario artistic interpretations before, but I've ...
Evolution Of Nintendo Characters
Ahh... Here I am, in the land of Nintendo. It's a little strange since we usually leave it up to Richard to cover all the Nintendo goodness on Bit Rebels since he is so good at it, but I couldn't resist today. Last night I was feeling particularly retro, and I downloaded the original Donkey Kong on ...

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. I remember being a little kid sitting in a bean bag chair in the cold basement of my parent's house for hours playing Frogger with a simple joystick controller. I ...
Mario’s Best Friend Yoshi Is Now A Zombie!
I really like Yoshi. He's a precious little cutie, so when I saw this zombified version of him, it was a little disturbing to me at first. I found myself feeling like I needed to protect him from the evil people that lurk in the world, especially those that want to turn him into a zombie.
Donal ...

The Electric Power Research Institute Inc. (EPRI), a nonprofit organization that conducts research and development related to the use of electricity, recently did a study to determine which gaming console is the most energy efficient between the Sony Playstation 3, the Microsoft Xbox 360 and the Nin ...
The Stay Puft Marshmallow Man In Rare Form
I can't decide if this is cute or creepy. It seems Jason Freeny is at it again. Last month, he created a 3D anatomy Super Mario sculpture that showed Mario's insides. Richard wrote an article about it, and since I've always thought Mario was kinda cute, I liked it.
However, this time it's a li ...
Finally: A Health Benefit From Playing Video Games!
Well Halleluiah! Finally someone has proven that there is a health benefit to playing video games, well, if you have a lazy eye that is. Typically, people that have a lazy eye have to put a patch over the good eye in order to force the lazy eye to become stronger. It's a long grueling process.

Pretty In Pink: The New PlayStation 3 Wireless Controller
I'm a gamer, a girl and a geek. I love the color pink. I remember when I wrote about this pink Juicy Couture Keyboard. I was so excited to finally see some fashion and style added to our desk since we spend so much of our day sitting there.
Now for the gamer girl who wants to kick her boyfrien ...
Disturbing Comics To Make You Laugh (or Cringe)
I'm a big comic book fan. I'm hard to please though when it comes to comedy, so my favorite comic strips are usually the ones with dark, unexpected, even gory humor. I like those comics that take familiar happy characters and turn them into something completely different. Those are really the onl ...
Geek Alert – Gameboy iPhone 4 Case
There is something about mixing old technology with new technology that is so much fun. It brings us a feeling of nostalgia and memories of the past, yet still makes us feel like we are on the edge of new developments in the present and future.
