Taco Bell Back In 1982 [10 Pics]
When was the last time you went to Taco Hell... err... I mean Taco Bell? To me, Taco Bell is college food, kinda like Ramen noodles. If you've got 5 bucks in your pocket, you can get a complete meal at Taco Bell and even have some leftover.
I remember earlier this year when it was discovered that ...
World’s Smallest Space Invaders Arcade Game Machine
One of the first games I ever played in an arcade was Space Invaders. It was an amazing experience back then, and the more I played it, the more I wanted to continue. It was like a technological drug. Sure, the graphics weren't the most brilliant compared to today's graphics; however, back then the ...
34 Amazing Original Star Wars Storyboard Illustrations
I haven't watched any of the original Star Wars movies for a while, and as a matter of fact, I haven't even thought about them either. Whether that is because we are really busy here at Bit Rebels at the moment I don't know. However, now that I'm thinking about it, I need to dust off those DVD boxes ...
Carbeque: The Tricked Out Car Transformed Into A BBQ
We are right smack in the middle of summer, and if there was ever a season for barbequing and spending time with friends outside, it's now. Here in Atlanta, I can walk outside on pretty much any Saturday afternoon and smell a grill close by cooking up burgers and hotdogs. It's just a tradition here ...
World’s First Chocolate Record That Plays Music
When I was a little girl, not only did I have to walk through snow to get to the bus stop every day, but I also had to listen to music on what was called a record. See kids, we had it rough back then. We would put the record on a record player and joyfully dance to the scratchy low quality sound. Of ...
The REAL Iron Man Suit Is From China
Yeah, so we here at Bit Rebels are huge Iron Man fans. We have talked about those movies, posted articles about them and debated whether or not Batman could really kick Iron Man's butt. And no, I am not going to tell you the outcome of our debate on that one. Evidently we have a thing for technology ...
World’s Most Epic Beer Commercial
Today is one of those days when I could really go for a beer. It's like a million degrees outside, and I am sitting here with 2 powerful computers around me and an insane number of displays that are all humming this room into a Finnish sauna! Yeah, that's how hot it is in here today. I've been watch ...
World’s Coolest Nostalgic MP3 Player
Usually when things go out of style, geeks are really quick to retrofy them into new gadgets that we all can get some nostalgic memories from. They come in the form of stickers for iPhones, non-working items or just things that look and feel similar to what the original item used to express. However ...

The Evolution Of Graphic Design [Infographic]
As with almost anything nowadays, there is a history that goes back a long way when it comes to graphic design. Some people may think that this whole thing we call graphics is just something we made up when we first started using computers, and it became possible to draw simple pictures on them. Of ...
Recycled Floppy Disk Art: Retro Technology Gets A New Life
Of all the creative artwork I've written about on Bit Rebels over the past two years, this is definitely one of my favorites. It combines technology, painting, recycling and a human touch, all flavored with that retro feeling we love so much. I remember when I first saw the works of Nick Gentry. It ...
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 ...
8-Bit Characters Depixelized: Awesome Futurfication Software
I sometimes get really bummed out that the 8-bit era has ended, and the original artwork created in the '80s is forever over. Sure, we can create pixalated art pieces today, but that doesn't really make it the same, does it? No, it's the memories connected to the artwork that make it retro and cool. ...
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.
...
Retro Games Recreated: Gummy Bear Stop Motion Video
I remember writing an article a while ago about the Gummy Bear Chandelier, and I remember Diana and I discussing how much the thing would cost. We were both way off when we guessed how much it would be, and it was settled once Diana (yeah, she awesome like that) called the creator and asked what it ...
Canstruction: Insanely Retro Canned Food Sculptures
We have stated it many times before, but there is no denying that art comes in a plethora of shapes and styles. There is just no predicting it, and the more out-there it is, the more attention it seems to attract. When I was living in Los Angeles for a brief moment, I was amazed by the store food di ...
