September 12, 2015 by Andrew Girdwood Leave a Comment

Do you run a fantasy RPG which has a world strangely filled with entirely mundane fauna and flora. How would that even happen? This infographic from AvasFlowers takes to the works of fiction to compile 80 of the best alternative plants into a single, handy, list. The result? An infographic loaded with inspiration and enough […]

Cats love to be fed to Chain Chomps

June 25, 2015 by Andrew Girdwood Leave a Comment

Chain Chomps are common enemies from Mario. They first appeared in Super Mario Bros. 3 and, as it turns out, cats love to crawl inside their gaping mouths and snuggle down. Okay, this particular Chain Chomp isn’t your traditional Mario enemy. This Chain Chomp is a custom made bed by Catastrophic Creations. Oh yes, Catastrophic […]

Mad Max: Fury Road meets Mario Kart mashup is a work of art

May 24, 2015 by Andrew Girdwood 3 Comments

A great idea that’s been brought to life with skill and imagination. This is Mario Kart: Fury Road – a parody trailer – and it brings the crazy driving of Mario Kart to life with the crazy driving of Mad Max. I shall call it Mad Mario. What’s your favourite part?

Bob-OMB t-shirt

December 17, 2014 by Andrew Girdwood Leave a Comment

Bob-OMB is a limited t-shirt design by Mark Chilcott. You can pick it up, while stocks last, from Cult Collective. There are only 100. You’ll get a signed and numbered card to mark your purchase. I like t-shirts like this but then wonder whether I should wear them or not. Is it really a t-shirt […]

Beyond 8-bit; an evolution of video game music as a surprising acapella

August 6, 2014 by Andrew Girdwood 2 Comments

Okay, I’ll admit. I’ve seen plenty of Mario and Sonic acapellas now. It’ll take a little bit more than that to earn a blog post these days. Step forward Triforce Films. This isn’t just an acapella (with a touch of cosplay). This is a tour through the evolution of computer game music and that means […]

Remember that time Karen Gillan dressed as Mario

December 25, 2013 by Andrew Girdwood Leave a Comment

As we’re gearing up for the Christmas Special for the 2013 Doctor Who there is time to catch up with what actors from the show’s past have been up to. Karen Gillan, for example, got into cross-dressing cosplay. Well. Sorta. Here we see her as a rather cute looking Mario. Where did these pictures come […]

The tasty, tasty, Super Mario World cake

November 30, 2013 by Andrew Girdwood Leave a Comment

I’m not a fan of eating mushrooms and I certainly wouldn’t put them on cake. That said; this Super Mario World cake looks good enough to eat and it’s the mushroom that steals the show. This is a cake that watches you. Via Geek Art Gallery.

Super Smash Wars: Star Wars meets Nintendo in this mashup parody

November 2, 2013 by Andrew Girdwood Leave a Comment

May the triforce be with you. How many Nintendo characters can you spot? There are game references and hidden sections a plenty in James Farr’s clever animated Super Smash Wars. This is Star Wars as it might have been if Nintendo had wanted to throw a bunch of their favourite characters into a space opera. […]

Is this the ultimate Nintendo orchestra medley?

September 29, 2013 by Andrew Girdwood Leave a Comment

This is The String Player Gamer’s opus. An orchestral cover of many of your favourite classic Nintendo tunes. Nicely, the medley doesn’t linger too long on any one tune so it’s fairly fast paced and there’s plenty of variety. The musical nerd also manages to blend the tunes together skilfully and collection works as a […]
