For those of you who have encountered the red ring of death before, the process of laying your Xbox 360 to rest should be familiar – shipping your defunct console back to Microsoft in a cardboard bow which has been lovingly coined the Xbox 360 coffin. Now, you can cut out the middle man and provide a proper burial for ...

Forget about bringing chess to the computer, it’s time to bring the computer to chess. Instructable user CrLz created this awesome Micro Processor Chess Set which is made using an assortment of computer parts. The board itself is made using the underside of a mother board, and 32 black microprocessor chips. The creator stresses that this is a work in ...

While Hollywood chugs away at making a movie for every board game and sub-8-bit video game that ever existed (I’ve even heard titters of movies based on Pong and Monopoly), there are so many film�opportunities�out there that would actually make sense… or at least cause an extreme amount of LOLz. Take The Legend of Zelda for instance. That’s just prime ...

Spotted using Google Street View, apparently after saving the princess Mario and Luigi retired from the plumbing biz, sick and tired of crawling through pipes no doubt, and decided to open their own restaurants. Mario’s is a bakery and Luigi’s serves pizza, kebobs and burgers. So if you think about it, they aren’t even really competing. They’re pretty complimentary of ...

Not remotely the first time I’ve fallen asleep with a Game Boy near my head, this Game Boy Cushion brings back countless memories from my childhood, sneaking my Game Boy under my blankets and playing into the early morning hours, or until I just couldn’t stay awake anymore.

Last post of Friday complete? Clothes come off, Azeroth loads up. Life is good. Psh, yeah right. Like I’m really going to wait until ...

If you’re tired of the never ending cycle of sending in your RRoD’d Xbox 360 to Microsoft for a refurbished console that is likely to just have the same exact problems all over again, there’s an even cooler alternative than calling Microsoft tech support. You might not be getting your gaming money’s worth, but what you lack in game playing ...

So, apparently WoW addicts are also papercraft devotees, because at least a few of them took the time to log-off of the game and create some really gorgeous papercraft masterpieces. We’re talking pretty exquisite stuff. Masterly detailed and surprisingly lifelike. Or as lifelike as video game models made out of paper can be. Some of these creations just have to ...

I’ve ceased being one of the few. I am now part of the many. Yes, that’s right. About a month ago I was sucked into the Farmville craze against my will. But I’m not one of those in-your-face Farmville players. Whenever I’m asked if I want to share with friends, I usually decline… most of the time. In fact, I ...

When he’s not making promises of baked goods or plotting his destruction of Christmas, Darth Vader just likes to chill out and play with his Wii, but not in the traditional way we’re familiar with. Of course not, come on, could you see Vader gaming to the tune of Super Mario Bros? I think not. No, the Darth man likes ...
