I was a huge Magic: The Gathering nerd for the majority of my early-teenage years. I dabbled in other trading card games, including my short-lived Star Wars trading card phase, but Magic was always the one that stuck around. Flickr user Ochre Jelly attempts to enter his contribution to the modern trading card gaming world with LOLcat trading cards, a ...

This is what happens when “Finish Him!” becomes “Finish Your Dinner!” Fatalities meet�hospitality�with what I’ve decided to call the “Moral” Kombat shirt design. I have no idea what the actual title is, and frankly don’t care. Whatever it is I’m confident my title is better. Oh, Raiden, you’re such a gentleman! I wonder if Sub-Zero is going to spend the ...

Designed by Nick Kim, this Sliding PSP concept incorporated a retro?aesthetic?with modern mobile practicality. The sliding console controls hide the display when the PSP isn’t in use, so there’s a reduced worry of screen scratching and probably less smudging too. What I really like about this is that it’s probably even smaller than the original PSP design. Smaller = easier ...

I always say I love pixelated gadgets, just for the fact that they have a way of making the rest of your surroundings look like they’re in HD in contrast. But there’s something else. There’s the ever-important geek cred boost to your reputation, of course, but there’s something about the geometric blockiness of both 8-bit items and LEGOs and even ...

For those of us who were raised during the 80s and 90s, Duck Hunt brings back memories of hours of pointing a gun at our televisions. If you grew up during the peak years of the NES, Duck Hunt was the coolest thing on the market, one of the only games at the time that had a dedicated peripheral. But ...

Photojournalist Robbie Cooper spent three years searching the world for virtual world gamers, photographing them and comparing them to the avatars they created in their respective games. So what do our avatars say about us? If we design an avatar of the opposite sex, does this say something about our internal desires? Do our avatars ultimately embody everything we wish ...

If you were wondering why Mario was naked, I think we just discovered this answer. This sly dog stole his most prized outfit, and oddly enough an outfit fit for a plump Italian plumber just happens to fit this pooch to a tee. What a coincidence. For $16.50, you can dress your pup as either Mario of Luigi, whomever you ...

Alright, let’s just be honest here. This Rubik’s Cube isn’t going to be winning any beauty pageants in some alternative universe where Rubik’s Cubes actually have intelligence and hold their own contests. Unless, of course, Rubik’s Cubes have a whole different definition of beauty. Maybe multi-colored, multi-textured, torture device-looking gadgets are their�definition�of a really hot bod. Probably not though. Unlike ...

Based on Michelangelo’s famed sculpture, La Piet (which you can see after the jump), designer Kordian Lewandowski used a block of polystyrene foam to complete his very own work of art – the Nintendo-inspired Game Over sculpture. Measuring slightly taller than an averaged sized man (seems to be about six-feet tall), Game Over mixes the drama of Renaissance art with ...

Even fictional plumber’s have nightmares. And if Mario does in fact dream, this is 1-Down Mushroom is surely the culprit that keeps him up at night. While he’s never actually seen one in the wild (or so he tells the cops), in fact their actual existence is questionable, his mother used to tell him that if he didn’t go to ...
