Looks like Mr. and Ms. Pac-Man finally got hitched. At least that’s what I first gleaned when I stumbled onto this geektastic Pac-Man wedding cake.
Actually, this wasn’t the main wedding cake, but actually a groom’s cake that blogger The Domestic Scientist recently made for a friend’s wedding. And while the cake is fully edible…

I wish I had some extra cash right now, because I’d really like to have my own freakin’ rocket launcher – vintage Spanish bazookas are being sold right this instant at Centerfire Systems (store tagline: “Save Money.

It’s been a little while since we featured any Space Invaders around here. So here goes nothing… Space… Invaders… Mailbox…

Looking for a fun way to wrap your presents this holiday season? Nothing says “I’m a complete gamer geek” like these Tetris block gift boxes.
Each colorful Tetris brick-shaped box measures 1 3/8 inches (3.5cm) deep (other dimensions vary), which means they’re not going to be big enough to hold that Lexus that you planned on giving…

Yuta Sugiura and his colleagues at the Graduate School of Media Design in Keio University had a valid starting point – most of the software or hardware input systems today have no direct correlation to the command to be executed, and so are not that easy to master. As high-tech items like robots become more…

Fans of the classic Japanese Anime series Gundam will recognize these familiar items. Except instead of firing deadly projectiles, these miniature weapons fire ink onto paper. Well, they don’t really shoot ink, they just write like any other ballpoint pen. But they sure do look cool doing it.
