			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>What could be cooler than playing <em>Pac-Man</em> on an arcade machine that was almost completely made up of LEGOs? <a href="http://www.bigbenbricks.com/" target="_blank">Ben Fleskes</a> of Portland, Oregon, built <a href="http://www.bigbenbricks.com/ben/lego/pacman/pacman.html">this amazing machine</a>. The only thing is that it probably won&#8217;t stand up to the typical abuse that an arcade machine goes through.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-33270" src="http://technabob.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2010/05/051910_rg_LEGOArcadePacman_01.jpg" alt="051910 rg LEGOArcadePacman 01" width="600" height="885" title="051910 rg LEGOArcadePacman 01 photo" /></p>
<p>You know what I mean. There are sometimes, especially in arcades, where you just bash the buttons and the machine as hard as you can. If you do this with the LEGO arcade, you&#8217;ll probably end up with a pile of LEGO bricks! I also doubt the LEGO blocks surrounding the joystick would appreciate  cigarette butts being put out on them.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-33271" src="http://technabob.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2010/05/051910_rg_LEGOArcadePacman_02.jpg" alt="051910 rg LEGOArcadePacman 02" width="600" height="800" title="051910 rg LEGOArcadePacman 02 photo" /></p>
<p>Regardless, the machine is really cool. Never mind the fact that it can  actually play 48 different arcade games, not just <em>Pac-Man</em>, thanks to a <a href="http://www.jammaboards.com/store/48-in-1-multicade-pcb/prod_194.html"> 48-in-1 JAMMA arcade board</a>. So games like <em>Galaga</em>, <em>Arkanoid</em>, <em>Donkey Kong</em> and <em>Frogger</em> are also along for the LEGO ride.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Planning a geeky wedding? Here&#8217;s a tip for you- create super-detailed, individualized video game avatar name cards for each guests.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-2611" src="http://technabob.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2008/06/avatars.jpg" alt="avatars" width="520" height="266" title="avatars photo" /></p>
<p>This couple took this project very seriously. The Mr. lovingly designed individual placecards for 77 guests, assigning each person his or her own specially chosen avatar. The Mrs. came up with themes and appropriately assigned each guest to the appropriate game table.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-2612" src="http://technabob.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2008/06/avatars2.jpg" alt="avatars2" width="520" height="117" title="avatars2 photo" /></p>
<p>Each table included characters from one game, with retro games like <em>Pac-Man</em> and <em>Zelda</em> represented, as well as newer faves like <em>Guitar Hero</em> and <em>World of Warcraft</em>.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><em><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-2610" src="http://technabob.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2008/06/avatar3.jpg" alt="avatar3" width="520" height="233" title="avatar3 photo" /></em></p>
<p>I know people stress about their weddings, but I can&#8217;t believe the incredible amount of effort and artistry that went into this! You can see all of the pictures and get the details <a href="http://www.weddingbee.com/2008/06/12/a-geek-wedding-part-i-the-table-signs-and-escort-cards/">here</a>.</p>
