Video game characters are people too. Well, most of the time. With all of the blustering and bowing we’ve come to expect from ourselves when we talk about our favorite gaming character of all time, we sometimes forget the humanity of these characters. The flesh and blood. Salvaged from one of his hundreds of million lost lives, this Super Mario ...

More closely resembling an armored briefcase than a case for your smartphone, the Machined iPhone 4 Case by Karas Kustoms are anodized and prepared to take a fall, while leaving your phone intact.

The meanest damn lunch in the planet, meet Quiche the Bounty Hunter. This Boba Fett-inspired dish is hellbent on collecting the crust of every scum-bag quiche in the universe, no matter how noble their cause may be. Hey, he’s got little mini-quiches to feed. Stuffed with spinach, Kalamata olive tapenade, feta cheese and chopped red peppers, Alicia “Policia” Traveria’s (also ...

The varsity jacket, the universal symbol for jock superiority, unless you’re in the marching band, in which case you’re just an elitist prick. But seriously, I remember the kids from marching band who used to walk around in varsity jackets and they were all assholes. Walking around in a jacket with a drum embroidered on the shoulder does not impress ...

Growing up with Disney through the 90s, I thought these Disney princesses were smokin’. I don’t care if they’re animated, these were some gorgeous cartoons. But what if Disney princesses were more akin to the realities of modern America? Odds are that they wouldn’t be a size 4, I can tell you that. Ally Bellissimo of the blog �Creepy Miranda� ...
