I don’t think you need to punch this Question Block Lamp to get it to cough up its treasure. Which is a shame really. But it’s really well made and looks just like its video game counterpart when lit up. Which will only increase your desire to hit it.… |

Mole Kart for iPhone, It’s-a-Not-Me!
 |
Nintendo’s lawyers just got more work thrown their way. Mole Kart is a Mario Kart… knock-off for iPhone that you will probably never see via the App Store. It doesn’t look half bad for a rip-off, but then again all you really have to do is throw in some mushrooms, |
