You know how Yoshi loves his apples. So it’s no surprise that he couldn’t resist such a shiny fruit as the Apple logo itself. This Yoshi Macbook decal is available from LapTatt, and it’s a great way to build-up even more geek cred, if you care about that sort of thing. Link [via]

While I’ve probably only played with about 10% of these if I’m lucky, the all-encompassing nature of this photo demanded to be shared. How many can you spot that you’ve actually played with before? Do you see anything missing? Link [via]

I never made it to this level, which I think might be a good thing. I never would have been able to conquer the cameltoe mothership. Grab your own cameltoe-inducing (or camel-knuckle if you’re a dude and planning on wearing these for yourself) Space Invader Tights for the very hipster price of $80. Or you can try to make your ...

There’s something about the packaging of Atari-era games that really strikes my design fancy. The minimalistic bit style was both honest and gorgeous. I actually don’t think I’d mind if modern movie posters were designed in the same style. Some modern posters could certainly use the revision. Or at least a few zombies added here or there. Hit the jump ...

I missed out on the original NES and SNES systems during their heyday, but at least I got to fool around with the Sega Genesis when new games were still being released on a regular basis. And boy did I play the hell out of my system. NHL ’94 and Sonic, baby. Hours of fun. Increasingly, more kids from Gen-Y ...

Get your stop-motion gear ready and prepare for mimicking. Mario gets a little raccoon-y in this Super Mario Bros. 3 stop-motion video by YouTube user smartkid82504. Link

Real guitarists love to bitch about how the Guitar Hero-esque game controllers hinder the complexity of real-life guitar playing. And to be honest, they’ve gotta point. As a guitar player for the past ten years or so, it pains me to see 12-year-olds pick up a game controller and think they could even have a shot at picking up the ...

There’s nothing I enjoy more on a frigid Jersey night than cranking up the heat, slipping on my Snuggie and cuddling with one the fluffiest pillow I can find. These awesome Super Mario Pillows would satisfy both my needs for comfort and geekiness, all in one fell swoop. These Mario, Bowser and Goomba pillows were created by Flickr user renatahashimoto, ...

I’ve been getting back into SNES recently. It had been at least ten years since I even looked at the system, but then I received a copy of Super Mario World for Christmas. Forget about it. Now I can’t leave my house without some sort of SNES accessory. I just can’t bare to leave my poor console behind. I don’t ...
