A Bucket of Tennis Balls…

Ok… I’m getting tired of real life Mario re-enactments, but this one demands your attention. It’s worth it alone to see the guy playing mario eat a mushroom. Then a flower. And then mercilessly hurl tennis balls at his friends from point blank range in the interests of physical comedy.

Forget Mario Party! It’s Mario Politics!

Nintendo Gal posted this on her blog (which you should be reading if you’re not already) earlier today. It’s an advert for a Dutch political party based upon Super Mario Brothers. Not just loosely based on it mind, this thing has the music and sound effects right there in the advert.
I know nothing of the […]

Mac Mini in a NES

It’s no secret that I’m ever so bored of NES mods, but occasionally a mod comes along that you can’t ignore… Brent Housen was crafty enough to gut a NES and replace the aged innards with a spangly Apple Mac Mini…
I’m not sure I’d do this myself seeing as though the mini looks so darn […]

Mario race, hold the karts…

In 2002 Mario speed run masters Jeff Ninneman and Jason Harmer raced each other in front of a crowd of braying, cadaverous halflings… Well… A crowd of people.
The game is of course Super Mario Bros on the NES, which Jeff and Jason have both finished in times of 5:11 and 5:09 respectively. It’s clear the […]

NES Lego scenes

My good buddy Blake Snow over at Infendo made a “post” on his “weblog” recently about a collection of retro gaming scenes rendered from tiny little plastic bricks…
“Tish and Fipsy!” I said, “Plastic bricks? Preposterous!”
Tonight I dine on a feast of my own words, for the scenes of which Blake’s weblog hath spake are indeed […]

NES Pad messenger bag…

No… This isn’t a tutorial to convert a NES pad into a messenger back… That’s ridiculous… This is a story in pictures about a forum-dweller named “frogz” and a messenger bag that’s been designed to look like a NES pad…

Awesome… Via Joystiq

Kill Mario…

Recent trackbacker Will has a weblog… That’s how he trackbacked this site… On it there is content, as there usually is with these things… Within that content there is a link to a thing which I thought you might enjoy…
Everyone knows the first volume of Kill Bill was far better than the second, but would […]
