Classic Album Covers Redesigned With Cute Kittens [12 Pics]
If there's one thing I've learned from watching cats rise to fame on the Internet over the past few years, it's that you can do nothing and be arrogant, yet still be successful. Ok, maybe not, but it sure seems that way. You have to admit, cats have it pretty good though. As some of us run around wi ...

DIY “They Live” Alien Masks: Retro Sci-Fi Brilliance
They Live is one of my favorite sci-fi movies from the '80s. It's definitely in my top 5. Not only am I a huge John Carpenter fan, it features wrestler Rowdy Roddy Piper. It just doesn't get any better than a story about aliens trying to take over the Earth, and human beings can't see them unless th ...

Atari Flashback 3: Get The Retro Back Into Your Life
Do you sometimes long for the retro days of yesterday? Do you think gaming and entertainment was just a little more fun back in the days? If you answered yes, you are just like me.

It’s Great To Be Alive! Retro Safety Manual Uses Scare Tactics
I have always wondered why safety manuals usually have the same style when it come to graphics. Not only that, but they seem to make the people in the manuals happy as well, and that always freaks me out. It's like they say in the movie Fight Club, no one looks like that when they are facing certain ...

Retro 8-Bit Artwork In The Stockholm Subway System [18 Pics]
Sweden is one of those countries that in some ways could be explained by the word average. We have winters, and we have summers.

4 Original Superhero Costumes: Classic Creative Brilliance
Superhero costumes have changed a lot over the years.

The costumes that Batman and Robin wor ...
Retro Super Mario 8-Bit Wedding Invitations
These are the geekiest, most creative and fantastic wedding invitations I've seen in a long time.

10 Old School Gadgets Our Kids Will Never Know [Videos]
Do you remember when you were a kid, let's say around 8-9 years old, and you saw the guys and girls that were around 18-20? To me they always looked like they were adults.
