Basically a musical exploration through gaming starting from the dawn of the Atari 2600 system up to the peak of Super Nintendo, progressive metal covers of video game music make this video about as awesome as early gaming video chronologies get. Link

I know it must be hard living without your daily sugar fix when you’ve become accustomed to munching on sweets whenever you want. Just because you’re dieting doesn’t mean you have to cut out the candy completely. Just make it a little harder to access. Deter yourself from overeating by adding a little challenge into the mix. The M&M Dispenser ...

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 ...

While hard copy books might be on their way out with the increasing popularity of e-Readers and digital reading, most people are still stuck in the olden days of just plain reading a book. The great thing about the Kindle and other e-Readers is that the devices always save your spot, even if you have to drop the reader in ...

But see, I don’t dare. And I’ll tell you where you screwed up. 25% of the profits go right the Child’s Play charity. Which means 75% still goes to some dude. Look, I’m not feeling very charitable.

The solar panels do all of the work. All you have to do is hang the lights and enjoy. Not only do you get to save a butt load ...

I’ve debated building a shrine to the NES for years now, but I’ve never actually gotten around to acting on the idea. Spotted over at the Super Potato retro gaming store in Akihabara, Japan, this 7-foot tall throne was made entirely out of Famicom cartridges, creating an apt shrine for the gamer who demands to be the king of his ...

Best Buy’s Black Friday ad has leaked, which means it’s time to do some serious itinerary planning for the big day. See, I like me and my fiancee set up a full contingency plan based on what we want the most for us, then comes gifts for others. Come on, we need to set priorities people! Strategy is the name ...

Even if my NES were still around, I doubt it would work. There’s something about sitting around in a dusty closet that doesn’t work well with the functioning hardware of gaming consoles. But don’t let it’s inability to work get you down. There are still plenty of possibilities. The NEStickle is a Sanwa joystick, including buttons, built right inside of ...
