The Kiss Controller: Video Game Controlled By Smooches
Well dang, this could be better than Kinect! Instead of using your body as the controller, you use your tongue. Ok, maybe it's not better than Kinect, but it still looks like a lot of fun. This little gadget combines two of life's guilty pleasures, kissing and playing video games. That's right, ...
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 ...
The History Of Gaming: From Oscilloscope To Virtual Reality
I have always wondered how people can ignore the power of gaming and say it's utter play. Of course it's play, but one must not forget that it is because of play that we have the technologies we have today, no matter what it is. It's from the trials and errors that we have developed into the speci ...
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 ...
201 Megaman: Megaman Is Now Every Hero You Can Think Of!
Any respectable geek knows his or her Nintendo history and could probably confirm that Megaman is the definition of "mega" any day of the week. I used to play the game when I was younger, and I finished it the first time I played it. It wasn't because I was kicking butt, but because I just couldn' ...
Nintendo Hero Typography: Words Speak Louder Than Images
How come we always value things in visual mode instead of reading the charismatic words of wisdom? It's no coincidence that movies are doing better financially than books. And as you might understand, I am not talking about the Bible or any other book that has been on sale for decades. People sim ...
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 ...
Cartoonified: Super Mario In Retro Cartoon Style Posters
I am not sure of how many incarnations of Super Mario games there are out there, but I am sure there are a lot of them, right? They are always playful, colorful and most of all immensely addicting. The first Super Mario game for the NES was, for many, the one game that made them buy a Nintendo gam ...
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 ...
So Analog: See Retro Media Storage Come Alive As Toys!
For the first time in a long time, again, I am completely inspired through every atom of my being. The reason for this is none other than the retro cool of old storage media. Now you might think that I have finally cracked, but stay with me for a second. We all know that the cassette, cartridge a ...
How To: Pimp Out Your Car Super Mario Style
Are you a Super Mario fan? Mario completely invaded my life about a year ago when my son discovered him. Ever since then, Mario and all of his friends seem to be a permanent part of my house. Whether in the form of a Wii game, a Nintendo DS game, a stuffed animal, a shirt, a screensaver... they a ...
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 ...
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.

The Real Murder Game Controller: Gone Too Far?
I was a big gamer back in the day, but back then, ten years ago, it was different than it is today. Since then, I've kind of lost interest since so much of the games are all about killing and violence.
I agree with what Richard said in his article "The $7,000 Arcade Bowling Game Is Here!" He sa ...
