Taking inspiration from my two favorite geek icons of all time, Flickr user mrksaari created these real-life Super Mario zombie cosplay costumes. Princess Peach looks like she’s holding her own just fine, so I’m pretty sure the Mario clan has a new objective. And I’ll give you a hint. It starts with “b” and ends with “rains.” While mushrooms were ...

It was devastating the first time you heard it and it’s just one of those things that doesn’t get easier to stomach. Yes, when I found out that Tetris didn’t exactly follow the laws of physics I was completely blindsided. “What else aren’t they telling me?” I thought. Next I’ll be hearing that Dr. Mario doesn’t even have his Ph. ...

Rumor has it that the Princess has been kidnapped. Again. I swear, sometimes it feels like she’s doing it on purpose. Anyway, lord knows I’m way too drunk to go on a ever-lasting quest to save that attention whore. Using my unstoppable power of Hassid, I can create a golem. A man of the Earth. But not using dirt. Oh, ...

Owww… my childhood. At least he hasn’t moved on to designer mushrooms. I had an idea that Mario was a dealer. But a user? I knew not. It’s that pesky Luigi that got him into this mess. I just know it. I know it was you, Luigi. You broke my heart. Link

With a starting price of $20,000, the SNES-inspired iCon Bed isn’t for the casual gamer. But for someone who has devoted what amounts to several years of total gaming time, this bed is probably one of the coolest things you’ve ever seen. Equipped with a Hollandia adjustable 3D mattress, the iCon Bed also comes fully stocked with gadgetry goodness, including ...

I haven’t had this many drinks on a farm since, well, ever. Ok, there was that one time in Tijuana, but let’s change the subject, shall we? STOP GIVING ME THAT LOOK. I swear, the horse was asking for it! Farmville Coasters complete your obsessive attempt to integrate fake farming into your daily life. Congratulations, you’ve never had a withered ...

I don’t know about you guys, but when I have a hankering, there’s a considerable shortage of easily available foods that will satisfy my geek tooth. The Bacon AT-AT is long gone and all of my cupcakes have been successfully shot at people’s faces with a cannon. So, alas, it’s time again to throw on the ole apron and get ...

FrontierVille has really taken off as of late. With an active user base of 16.3 million monthly gamers and growing, Zynga might just have another Farmville on their hands. FrontierVille users were recently greeted with a new incentive. Poo collection. Yes. Poo collection. The new Manure Collection allows users to collect an assortment of animal fecal matter and share it ...
