Some of the most iconic objects in the history of video games have to be the barrels that Donkey Kong tosses at Jumpman as he climbs girders to rescue his princess. Jumping over those barrels and smashing them with a sledgehammer were the key gameplay mechanics of Nintendo’s breakout arcade game.

This barrel-shaped Legend of Zelda themed arcade cabinet is not only fun to play, but a great piece of home decor too. It comes from Redditor LetsbuildsomeShit. He is living up to his name big time with this awesome build. This Raspberry Pi 3 / RetroPie-powered arcade machine is completely custom.

These handcrafted Barrel Mugs are made individually from American white oak slats and lined with stainless steel. That means that every mug is a beautiful one-of-a-kind product. They won’t alter your beverage’s taste, but it will up their presentation for sure. 

It’s like beating Kong in a barrel… Wait, that’s not how the saying goes. But you can say it now. This custom-built Donkey Kong tabletop arcade machine has been put into a barrel. Why? So you can drink and game of course.
