Flickr member Redbeard Math Pirate came across this collection of extremely hard to find Atari 2600 games. See if you can recognize any of them:

For some reason I can’t any find these in my closet between my copies of Pitfall and Adventure. I swear I nearly wore out my paddle controllers playing Zardoz. There’s nothing…

You can grab these DIY paper cut-out Mario, Piranha Plants, question mark blocks and a variety of tasty mushrooms over at CubeeCraft – where everyone has a square head.

The Nintendo DSi has only been out in Japan since last November and already the line is expanding to include a new range of very bright colors: pink, green, and blue. Not, it must be said, the blue that’s coming to the United States this spring, either.

Been dying to do over your bathroom decor with a Hitchcockian theme? Well I can think of no better place to start than with these accessories.

Imagine the surprise of your roommate when they wake up tomorrow morning to find this Blood Bath shower curtain hanging in place of the old one. Whether they think…

Video games make all sorts of activities fun. Cooking Mama makes cooking fun. Harvest Moon makes farming fun. Lode Runner makes self-torture fun. Can a video game make biochemistry fun?

Try DNA Heroes, a flash game that combines Guitar Hero with…well, actually nothing. It’s just GH with electronic music, and instead of notes you get amino acids scrolling down the…

Vista users, dust off your IE or Automatic Updates, because next week the Release Candidate of Vista’s Service Pack 2 will be available for download. The update will updowngrade your OS to Windows XP. I’m kidding.

Some of the things contained in the update include – I swear I am not making this up –…

Remember the AT-AT Walker ghetto blaster? Well apparently not only the Empire gets its own boom box. This R2-D2 sound system is part of the Hype Hustle Rip-Off exhibition by artist Bill McMullen over at LA’s The Constant Gallery.
