Little Steampunk Toys To Brighten Your Day
These little designs combine two things I absolutely love, steampunk and Nintendo. These precious little minions as they are called (I call them toys), are just as cute as can be. They are like little dolls, but much more fun.
According to wikipedia, a minion is "a follower devoted to serving his ...
8-Bit Dreams: Retro Nintendo Watercolor Paintings
Have you noticed that sometimes at the end of December when we are making our list of New Years Resolutions, many creative artists are deciding what they are going to commit to doing each day? It seems like that concept is growing in popularity, and we've featured a lot of that "one-each-day" kind o ...
Tetris Inspired Sticky Notes For Your Geeky Office
When I think of the '80s, there aren't many things that make me smile more than when I think about Pac-Man, Space Invaders and Tetris. Those were the video games that defined the '80s for me. Well, those and Frogger, Galaga, Arkanoid... Okay, I admit, I was a video game junkie when I was growing up. ...
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 ...
How To: Build A Working Urinal Out Of SNES Games
Man, I never thought I'd see the day when I'd wish I could pee standing up. This is totally not fair. Not only is this the geekiest urinal I've ever seen (oh wait, I've only seen a few of those in my life), it’s also the best use I've seen so far for all those old boring as hell sports SNES games.

World’s Largest Working NES Controller
At first, I titled this article "World's Largest NES Controller." I had to go back and add the word "Working" because unlike many of the huge goofy NES controllers we've seen in the past, this one is actually functional! It's so big that the only way to control it is to stand on the buttons. Now the ...
Recycled Nintendo NES Becomes 6 Man Music Jamming Device
I don't know how many times I have wished that I never got rid of my Nintendo NES console. It has almost become something to grieve over, and I can't seem to get my butt out of the chair long enough to actually hunt another one down. I would just love to sit for a couple of hours and play Super Mari ...
Rymdreglage: 8-Bit Retro Lego Stop Motion Music Video
When geeks get creative the most wonderful things can happen. It doesn't always happen, but it does quite often, even if I may say so myself. A geek's creativity might not speak to the overall general population, but it's evident that their brainchildren usually make a high impact on social media se ...
NES Breathalyzer Game: The Ultimate Party Game
So you're having a party this upcoming Friday and all your geek friends are invited. On for the night is some retro gaming, and it's of course the Nintendo NES that is in the spotlight. What else could bring back that retro feeling of the past? Super Mario is of course the first highlight of the ...
NES Beads: The World Of NES Games In Stop Motion Beads
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. You move around some stuff, take a picture, and then you do that again a couple thousand times until you have your finished movie. Eve ...
Nintendo NES Guitar: It Doesn’t Get Much More Old School
There have been a ton of customizations during 2010, and it seems the trend is going to continue in 2011. We've seen pretty much everything become an instrument that you can actually use to rock your heart out with. What makes some of these people take their beloved epic '80s gear and mod them int ...
A Giant Functional Nintendo NES Controller Coffee Table!
Coffee tables seem to be the new trend when it comes to custom made builds by geeks. We have covered quite a few here on Bit Rebels, and we're not about to stop now. Not too long ago I wrote about a giant Nintendo NES base station coffee table that had a functional controller. The interesting thi ...
Exclusive Nintendo NES Bed Sheets For The Retro Geek
If you're like me, you probably sported some kind of idolizing bed sheets when you were younger. It could have been everything from Michael Jackson to Super Mario or even your favorite horse. For me, it was more Star Wars than artists and animals, but everyone had their pick I guess. However, when y ...
NES Zelda: The Reality Of A Hero Isn’t So Glamorous After All!
When I think back on the days when playing Nintendo was the prime reason to wake up in the morning and when the hero status of the characters I played meant more than the breakfast cereal at my disposal, I suddenly realize that those days were a long time ago. However, that doesn't change the fact ...
Zelda Art Like You’ve Always Wanted It To Look!
Wow, it just took me about one second to fall in love with the Zelda game series once again. I finished the first game in the first 36 hours after it was released (or at least after I bought it). I have never been so addicted to a game series (except Myst, Eve-Online and World of Warcraft). The m ...
