The one thing that I’ve always loved about pixelated fashion is how it makes you look high-def in comparison. Wearing low-pixel items makes you stand out out in a crowd, even if said crowd isn’t stuffed pack with geeks. People react to pixels in a way that goes behind gaming. Pixels are an ultimate symbol of retro style. Samal Design’s ...

I know, summer has barely begun, but it’s never too early to start hunting for that perfect Halloween idea. Kiel Johnson and Klai Brown created this awesome 8-Bit costume, lovingly referred to as “Gary,” by cutting out large cube-shaped pixels out of high-density foam sheets. The pixels are attached to an articulated cardboard structure to provide wearability in all three ...

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 ...

You wanna talk all that mess on us and think we’re not going to retaliate? Nah, man. Nah, nah, nah. Homey don’t play that. Don’t underestimate us geeks. We can get down with the best of the gang-bangers and we come bearing air power. All of those hours of playing Grand Theft Auto were not for naught. The DuraCoat Glock ...

Very Important Pixels is a site that creates pixelized images of famous figures and characters. Why couldn’t low-bittage always be this cool?

Ok, so this costume WOULD have been awesome had we heard about it, say, a week and a half ago, but alas, Halloween has come and gone and now we’ll have to wait another full-year before we can dress up in this Low Resolution costume, and possibly make up for our awful Borat costume we’ve worn for the second Halloween ...

There’s no rule that says your house has to use some standard font when it comes to the numbers that hang on your door to identify your address. So spurge a little and plunk down $6 a number for these pixelated, gamer numbers from Art Lebedev. Great coloring completes the look and even from afar your house will already look ...

This guy is a fucking genius. Servotron, the man behind the tapestry, is a cross stitching genius who has recreated the entire world map of the SNES classic The Legend of Zelda: A Link to the Past out of whatever it is you stitch with. Very cool, but if you thought this was badass, wait until after the jump…

Slick marketing is an evil and effective way to get things done your way. Take for instance the Pixos Super Studio I found on Random Good Stuff. At first, it looks like a cool kids toy that uses water and beads to paint “pixelated” pictures that can turn into toys. The product description states: Just add water, and watch in ...

Your cellphone doesn’t quite have the power the PSP has, though it’s trying. The Seiko Epson Corp are pushing the future of cellphone software forward with their 3-D display for mobile phones. With about 500 PPI of resolution, this 3D display is a sight to see with no 3-D glasses needed: “[It’s] one of the world’s highest resolutions of direct-view-type ...
