Sesame Street Fighter

Technabob — Mon, 17 May 2010 12:50:29 +0000

There’s something just so wrong, it’s right about this Street Fighter and Sesame Street mashup.

Artist gavacho13 combined classic characters from the children’s TV show with the ultimate fighting game to create some really insane new characters with names like Kernie and Beryu, Pig-Li, C. Monda and Baldog.

In a split second, my childhood memories have at once been defiled and supercharged. Check out the complete Sesame Street Fighter collection over at gavacho13′s deviantART gallery.

Bioshock Mobiles: Let Big Daddy Tuck Junior in to Bed

Technabob — Sun, 02 May 2010 03:15:30 +0000

I guess you don’t have to put this up in your kid’s nursery, but that’s the first place that jumps to mind when I see a mobile hanging from the ceiling. Of course this Bioshock mobile might give your young one permanent nightmares, so you might want to be careful about where you hang it.

Artist SaltyandSweet makes these disturbing mobiles from the world of Rapture, complete with Splicers, Big Daddies and Little Sisters ready to hang wherever you see fit.

Each one is laser-cut from solid black mat board, and can be found over at SaltyandSweet’s Etsy shop for $33 (USD). Sorry, no Big Sisters included.

Princess Peach’S Castle N64 Casemod is Just a Little Over the Top

Technabob — Mon, 20 Jul 2009 01:08:46 +0000

This insane looking N64 has to be one of the most creative video game casemods I’ve seen in quite a while.

When I first saw the photos of this thing, I actually thought it was some sort of wedding cake. But hiding beneath the Princess Peach’s castle shell is a fully-functional Nintendo 64 console.

The castle design really does look like the original 3D Princess’ castle in Super Mario 64 – except you can look all the way around this one without fumbling to use the camera on your controller – and the texture maps are better on this one.

According to the eBay listing, “the exterior of the castle has been molded to look like the bricks and roof tiles, then painted. The mural of Princess Peach is a very detailed mosaic and the five flags are made of cloth.” The modder also managed to maintain all of the original ventilation, even when the top half of the castle is put in place.

If you can believe it, this thing was on eBay for 10 days, and after a dozen bids already has sold to one very lucky bidder for just $100 bucks. I bet they could have sold it for lots more if they had only waited for me to report on it

Custom Xbox 360 Speaks for Itself

Alisha K. — Tue, 16 Jun 2009 12:05:53 +0000

Some folks, when they make something as great looking as this custom Xbox 360 console, they give you the skinny. The rundown, if you will. A list of specs. A retelling of the effort, the hours that went into their craftsmanship. Not this guy. Nope. deviantARTist EvilDan is ready to let this one speak for itself.

The purple and green color scheme is nice, and the spikes are a great touch, but the killer thing here is that screen. And look! Even the avatar matches the console. That’s attention to detail there.

EvilDan has a number of custom items on his deviantART page, but this one is certainly the most eye-catching. If only there was any more information about it!
