Geek hero Adam Lynch decided to put a gamer spin on the traditional act of marriage proposal by creating his own custom programmed version of Super Mario World, titled Super Dez World, in honor of his fiancee Desiree. Saturday September 11th�he tells me he�s been playing around with programming video games. I think this is an awesome idea; he has ...

It’s-ah me, the birthday boy! It’s hard to believe but today marks the 25th anniversary of the debut of Mario and the gang. The design of Mario, originally planned as a carpenter named Jumpman, can really be accredited to the graphical limitations of the time. He wore a hat, because realistic hair was difficult to portray with 8-bit graphics, a ...

Oh to be young… and the child of filthy rich parents. Seriously, just the look on this privilege-faced snot’s mug makes me want to deck him. I bet he’s the type of kid who cries and whines when he doesn’t get the piece of Mario gear he wants, or “needs” is probably the way he puts it. Reality is going ...

A year ago this month, my favorite celebrity sex tape of all time was released to the public. And to this day I have not found a video which excites me quite as much. What Mario and Princess Peach lack in creativity (they’re strictly missionary) they make up for with pure voyeuristic kink. The Mario bedroom is always open to ...

I blame this all on the princess. And partly on Steven King. But mostly on the princess. Look, don’t you think after the third or fourth time you were abducted you’d maybe start to consider a safer security system? You’ve driven the poor man crazy. All Mario wanted to do was finally retire from his days of princess rescuing and ...

Living on the East Coast, I don’t hear too much about Portland, Oregon. In fact, the most I know about Portland is that it’s located somewhere between Seattle and Los Angeles, and that it has some of the coolest gaming fans in the world. How do I know it has great gaming fans? This local news story reporting from North ...

L.A.-based artist Misha has a way with geeky art. Using one of her favorite inspirations, video games, and mashing it together with some of the most iconic images from the Star Wars universe, Misha created a set of pop culture portraits which, she admits, have really grown on her. Created for the Harajuku-themed group show Sweet Streets, the Super Mario ...

If you were shoved into the professional world kicking and shoving, it’s our opinion that you should at least be able to decorate your office how you see fit. These filing cabinets, inspired by Super Mario Bros. 2, fit right into our personal style. The geek nation might be more apt to stick to business conventions if we just had ...

It all seemed so harmless.The princess was in trouble. What else was he supposed to do? A damsel in distress was always his weakness. But the guilt, it was too much. Not everyone is built for a life of murder and mayhem, no matter how heroic the ultimate goal might seem. He tried to cover up his crimes but the ...

Taking inspiration from my two favorite geek icons of all time, Flickr user mrksaari created these real-life Super Mario zombie cosplay costumes. Princess Peach looks like she’s holding her own just fine, so I’m pretty sure the Mario clan has a new objective. And I’ll give you a hint. It starts with “b” and ends with “rains.” While mushrooms were ...
