Holy shit. Apparently Miyamoto still has some ideas lodged in that adolescent skull of his. Nintendo has recently filed a patent application in the US for a system that will potentially aid gamers via computer controlled characters in sections too difficult for the player to overcome. This idea comes straight from Miyamoto who is worried that some games are too ...

The tank is back. This time around he’s not throwing cars and crushing skulls with lifeless paper arms. No sir, this tank is born anew thanks to Craftster user windgie79 who crocheted Amigurumi dolls of the entire infected cast of Left 4 Dead for her husband. The witch, the hunter, the boomer, the tank, the smoker — that’s all of ...

Don’t say anything. Just don’t say it. This cake is the most badass baked good I’ve ever seen. We’ve had a shitload of cakes on our site and some were pretty awesome-looking, especially this LEGO Batman cake. But this dragon clutching a D20 D&D die? Holy shit. Is it even a cake?

On the other hand, seeing this papercraft Tank inspired by Valve‘s latest multiplayer zombie-fest, Left 4 Dead, makes me wish I was confronted by a real life Tank face-to-face so it can bash my skull in rather than me crafting a model of it out of paper. Look how shapeless and thin ...

This is perhaps the most depressing t-shirt design I’ve ever seen. I can’t think of a better time to come across it than right before the New Year. This way, I can wipe the slate clean of any desire to start up my own arcade right here in my own town. This shirt reminds me that no matter how enticing ...

Zero Cool and Acid Burn battle it out in Wipeout in the movie Hackers. Why let the fun stop there? Sebastian Arts created this beautiful LEGO Wipeout Racer that’s full of detail. Think you could do better? Tough call. Link

The 3-D work he did and the typography in the video are top notch. The production style is engaging and the fake British narrator really completes the look. Be sure to give ...
