I think we can all agree that biggest problem with retro video game characters is all of those jagged edges. I mean really, you could cut your hands on those sharp pixel corners. So what’s the solution? How about smoothing them out and making them fuzzy?

At least that’s what…

You know, I was just thinking the other day how I’d like a Rubik’s cube for my desk. And while I’m partial to the Mega Man Rubik’s Cube (which, I presume, goes “pew pew pew”) the classicist in me is more… partial to this Pac-Man Rubik’s Cube (which, naturally, goes

I guarantee you this is the coolest video you’ll see today. All I can say is that it was pulled off at a “super-secret” festival in the Northeast of England, and that it involves a building, a projector and Pac-Man.…

Certain images from the classics of gaming are burned indelibly into our brains; they are so iconic that they are recognizable not just to gamers, but to nearly anyone who has paid attention in the last couple of decades. And if you have to put something game-related on a messenger…

While Pac-Man and his family keeps on lapping up the praise – and coins – of gamers around the world, his brother Stap-Man has largely gone unnoticed, even though he’s actually useful. Stap-Man has spent countless hours helping the cubicle-inhabiting man, the equally unsung heroes of the modern era. Stap-Man,…

I really love these whimsical folk art renditions of classic video game characters, handmade from bottle caps.

Etsy artist BottleCapArt turns discarded beer bottle caps into pixel art. Each creation is handmade from bottlecaps, paint, pine, and tons of hot glue. My fingers hurt just thinking about the burns the…

What would happen if Pac-Man was on twitter? A whole lot of trouble, that’s what.

I laughed my ass off when I saw this hysterical illustration by Scott Hampson. Scott, will you please make T-shirts out of these? I’ll be first on your list.…
