The Toaster NES Mod: Suddenly Mornings Are Way Better
If you have an NES sitting around your house, it's probably collecting dust underneath the bed or on the top shelf of your bedroom closet, right? It's definitely one of those things you can't get rid of, even though it was replaced long ago with a fancier, flashier console. For those of us who grew ...
Charms: These Geeky Gaming Charms Will Make You Giddy
Charm bracelets were really popular a few decades ago, and then when people started decorating their iPhones with charms a few years ago, they made a comeback. Those iPhone decorations were part of a trend that came and went quickly, but the charms themselves are still very much alive and kickin. Pe ...
Video Game Controllers Upcycled Into Office Supplies
If you are like me, you have tons of video game controllers at your house. They are stuffed in whatever cabinets and drawers will hold them, and many of them are covered in dust since they are old or defective. For whatever reason, it's hard to get rid of them, even when we don't use them anymore. T ...
iCade 8-Bitty: Retro NES Controller For Your iPhone & iPad
The retrofication of gadgets and pretty much everything around us is something that is really dear to my heart. I love the memories connected to gadgets that I used to play with when I was a little kid, and that is likely never going to go away. That is why when I find something truly awesome, I get ...
Pink Pearl Nintendo 3DS: Limited Edition For Valentine’s Day
Pink is my favorite color. Regardless of what it is, if there is ever a possibility to buy it in pink, I do. I even have a pink tool kit. It's complete with everything I need to do minor repairs, and everything is pink, even the hammer and the tape measure. You can see a picture of it here. So, when ...
Pop Bottles: An Unusual Mashup Of Alcohol & Toys In Bottle Designs
It's not everyday that we see popular toy brands mashed with popular alcohol brands. It's an unusual mashup that of course sends all kinds of pop culture messages. I've always enjoyed seeing creative bottle designs, and these are definitely interesting. The Nintendo and the Barbie bottles are defini ...
Design Inspiration: Brilliant Metroid & Ninja Turtle Nintendo Mods
I can't get enough of creative NES mods. I've written about so many of them, and they just never get old. Each one is as fun as the next, and even though I love my classic NES, it's starting to look a little boring after seeing some of the designs and mods that people have created and shared with th ...
DIY Retro Nintendo 64 Handheld Console Mod
This is a good geek test. If you look at this project and think "Why would anyone ever want to take the time to transform a Nintendo 64 into a handheld console?" you might not be a hardcore geek. If you look at this and drool all over yourself like baby, well, there you go.
I have a feeling that ...
The Fabulous Pac-Man Glow In The Dark Bra
A Pac-Man bra is definitely geek-worthy and cool. I'd wear it for sure, no doubt. But a Pac-Man bra that looks like this and glows in the dark too? Waka waka waka, I gotta stop what I'm doing to write about it. When I look at this, I can feel myself turning blue as I eat those dots. I really want th ...
NES Controlled Etch A Sketch Pad Is Doubled Up Retro
As a kid, I had one of those Etch A Sketch toys that I frantically tried to master. It didn't go too well, and now that I look on YouTube and see what can only be described as out-of-this-world Etch A Sketch skills, I am wondering if I even had fingers at all when I was a kid. I mean, the art some o ...
Custom Gameboy Zombie Mod Inspired By Captain N
This is definitely one of the cutest little zombie mods I've ever seen! I love my old Gameboy, and I have it in my treasure box for safe keeping along with my childhood teddy bear, my NES and my original Superman comic books. I don't know if I could bring myself to do this to mine, but I sure like l ...
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 ...
Retro Nintendo 64 Star Wars Tie Fighter Game Console
Since we love retro video games, we often write about them on Bit Rebels. My very first memory of playing a video game was when my father bought me an Atari. I sat in my hot pink bean bag chair and played Frogger all summer long. I was so fascinated with it, and it never got old.
I can remember p ...
Ooh La La! Sexy Super Mario Latex Cosplay Costume
Dang, Mario has come a long way, hasn't he? Or, maybe I should say she. I'm staring at this sexy tight costume and trying to figure out if I could pull it off. We've seen a lot of Super Mario cosplay and costumes lately, but this one is definitely my favorite.
This outfit is made out of rubber (l ...
The NES Lunchbox Mod For Hungry Retro Geeks
I have so much to say about this. I don't even know where to start. I absolutely love this NES mod, and I truly think it's brilliant. This is better than a lunchbox available in any store in the whole world; I'm definitely convinced of that. However, when I think about taking my own NES and making s ...
