Hungry Hungry Hippos: The Custom Mario Inspired Koopa Version
Oh my gosh, remember Hungry Hungry Hippos? That was one of my favorite games when I was little. It was so loud and obnoxious and fun. Hungry Hungry Hippos made marbles useful again, at least for me. I was so excited today when I saw that some Mario fan with too much time on his hands redesigned the ...

Does Your Face Do This When You Play Video Games? [15 Pics]
Over the years, there has been a lot of photography that shows just how immersed we all get when we play video games. It just never gets old.

Knockoff Video Game Consoles: WiNi, PolyStation, XGame 360
This post was so much fun to write because there is just something about seeing counterfeit versions of the stuff we love that is fun in a twisted, curious kind of way. When you really think about it, there is fake stuff all around us that is pretending to look real. I'm sure some people will read t ...
Mean Green Machine: A Freaky Xbox 360 Console Mod
There are game console modders, and then there is Kier. His motto is, "Why keep it standard if you can modify it?" This particular mod looks like the Hulk, and it's just as intimidating to me. What Kier is able to do with a couple of white Xbox 360s is truly mind-blowing. The clear acrylic panel 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 ...
Whoa! A Life-Size Papercraft Link From Legend Of Zelda
I never knew how magical a piece of paper could be until I started writing for Bit Rebels back in 2009. Since then, we've featured so many mouth watering papercraft designs it could make your head spin around if you tried to view it all in one day. If you add to this the origami creations we've writ ...

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 ...
For Stylish Geeks: The Super Mario Mushroom Bracelet
Somehow I've managed to work my way back around to Super Mario Bros. again. I learned a lot from that game, and when kids these days want to play it, I don't understand why parents get so upset about it sometimes. There are a lot of hidden lessons to be learned from playing that game.
There are e ...
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 ...

The Evolution Of Video Game Controllers [Infographic]
Ahh... video game controllers. If you are like a lot of geeks, you can graph your life based on what video games you played at the time. I remember being a little kid sitting in a bean bag chair in the cold basement of my parent's house for hours playing Frogger with a simple joystick controller. I ...
Kinect SwimBrowser: Surf The Internet Doing The Breast Stroke
We all know what great exercise swimming is. When I first read about this, I thought, "Great! Now we can swim, get exercise and surf the web all at the same time." That's true if you can hack your Kinect the way David Stolarsky did.
For the 2011 PrimeSense/OpenNI Developer Challenge, he created ...
