Retro NES fans, you’ve gotta hand it to artist pixelparty for his fine craftsmanship in the creation of this life-size dog from the classic 8-bit light gun game, Duck Hunt….

I love these fun and functional clocks modeled to look like giant computer keys.

Each clock measures in at about 10-inches square, making it about 175 times larger than a regular computer key. While you won’t be able to spell out “CTRL-ALT-DEL” if you hang three of these on the…

The latest in a long line of strange and wonderful gadgets from Japan, this remote-controlled vehicle is modeled after one of those Ramen noodle carts you might see on the streets of Yokohama (mama).

Man, the classic, brick-sized Nintendo Game Boy sure gets a lot of love in the modding/hacking community. Like that retro-tacular iPhone case we showed you a few days ago. Or this Game Boy that someone managed to shove a 80GB SATA hard drive into.

A user from the MaxConsole forums,…

Of course you want to protect your iPhone from all the pesky objects out there looking to scratch up that gleaming surface, but why go with something plain? Something boring? Go piranha plant. You’ll never look back.

The case is made from Eco-felt, which in turn is made from recycled…

…and you will probably not be one of them, unless you are rich (or lucky… or, okay, rich…).

How does $3500 sound for the price of a swanky 360? Sure, it’s a little high (and will probably go higher), but just look! If you feel like dropping thousands of

Check out these awesome Super Mario Bros. high-top sneakers! Each one is precisely handpainted by Rachelle Williams of ParadoxArtistry, and covered with imagery of all of your favorite Super Mario characters.…
