I never imaged that Goombas could be so tasty. Turns out they’re as tasty as the non-fungus form of mushrooms. That’s right; Mario mushroom cupcakes and some oddly cute looking Goomba cupcakes. Deviant Artist Tomo Chi is the brilliant brain behind this collection. The green ice cream cones were a last minute decision and a […]
Chompy piranha plant earrings
My gut feeling here is that these rather painful looking earrings will sell well. Let’s face it; they certainly earn plenty of geek points. The piranha plant is famous but it’s pretty hard to do anything with it visually. Step forward Lizglizz and her Etsy shop who proves to be the exception to the rule. […]
Nintendo characters as X-Men
Artist unknown – shout up if you know – comes this fantastic four X-Men meets Nintendo panels of art. My favourite, without a doubt, is Colossus Kong. In second place is Cyclops Luigi and Rogue Yoshi. How would you rate the collection?
Super Mario proposal
Warning – there are loud squees in this video. I think we can forgive these particular high pitch tones because of the situation. Here’s the scene; the girlfriend is out – so the boyfriend designs a Super Mario room. This room includes a “floating” box. In that box there’s a wedding ring. Oh yes; this […]
Sexiest Mario is an ice skater: Super Mario Bros at the ice skating world championships
Not really sure what to say about this video – except my new record for watching ice skating is 3.39 minutes of it. We have both Mario and Luigi in this video. There’s a chair too – did you know you could ice skate with a chair? Got to wonder how many in the crowd […]
Super Mario Bros capella cover for Japan relief effort
I’m impressed with Jimmy Wong. I’ve only just found his YouTube channel but he’s a talented chap and a rising star. It’s not just his music that stands out. It’s his intelligence and his thoughtfulness. Case in point; he’s put all his music on iTunes. Buy it and he’ll donate all the profits to charities […]
Excel Mario
At the start of the day we had the clever geeky joke and art of Excel Batman. While I’m not going to say that the Batman art wasn’t sophisticated (it’s certainly far better than I could do) I am going to suggest that other talented people could do better. For example, Mario fans might be […]
Cult games amigurumi
Today’s trip to Etsy and too cute to ignore geeky amigurumi spins by t0fugurl’s store. It was the great collection of Pacman and Ghosts that first brought this store to my attention but I’m now rather fond of Bobomb. What’s your favourite?
Freak Mario to save Mario?
This is a bit messed up. It’s a YouTube video designed to grab the attention of Shigeru Miyamoto the creator of Mario. It’s messed up. Really, it’s hard to say much about this freakish video except that the author clearly thinks Mario has been lead down the nightmare path to destruction. Freaky. One more time […]
Mario Paint does Doctor Who
How do you rate the current Doctor Who theme? Similar but a little bit different? Imagine how it might sound if it was played using Mario Paint. Actually, you don’t have to imagine any longer. Thanks to the talented Levus28 we can now all sit back and enjoy Mario Paint being used to play the […]
