Need to do some last minute Christmas shopping? If so, SHAME ON YOU, slackers. Valve’s having a sale on some those fresh games you’ve been meaning to get your hands on.
First notable game is Red Orchestra. I’ve played this game in beta and loved it but never got around to getting it. It’s on [...]

Virtual Consolation for 12/24

There’s no game retail releases this week, but fret not. There’s some fun to be had on the VC. If none of these games suit your jaded gamer tastes then you could always be nice and gift one to a friend.
Blades of Steel (NES, 1-2 players, 500 Wii Points): Hockey. Punching. Fun.
Rolling Thunder 2 [...]

Munny Monday - Petie

It’s easy to go overboard when designing something. Often times what could have been nice and simple turns into something a little to much when designing something. Luckily, this Munny does not fit that description. It’s enough simplicity but has the detailed work that really makes it. Props to Shaun for his great custom.
A [...]

Zombie Squid

Etsy user societysedso makes some awesome squid figures, but the zombie squid is the awesomest. This chick should totally make a squid zombie hoard series. I’d buy them all. Oooh, maybe we should commission her to do an ALBOTAS octopus!! [Via Boing Boing]

Think Skateboards Jailbait Series

I’m convinced that celebrity mugshots are the new high art. Kinda’ like what Warhol did with Marilyn Monroe, artists will exploit our current celebrities for decades to come. So, for better or worse, mainstream media has found its way into our lowbrow art and now we get to see the faces that we’re sick of [...]

Old Skool Kaiju Sneak Peak

Found this waiting for me in the ol’ inbox. It’s a little sneak peak of Erick Scarecrow’s upcoming Old Skool Kaiju figure which will no doubt be wrecking neighborhoods in ‘08. Keep those eyelids peeled.

Johnny Lee: Wii Revolutioner

Johnny Lee. Google the name. Remember it. This guy is a freaking genius. This is only one of his many Wii hacks and, in my unprofessional opinion, it’s his best. I won’t even try to explain it so just watch the video. If you’re feeling man enough you can even head on over to [...]

Be a cheap bastard and make this papercraft dropship from Halo! Who needs gifts that cost money? For serious! And if you’re feeling [...]

Behold - The DS Lite Compact

Fan-made DS Lite redesign ad. Not sure if it’d actually work, but I’d totally buy it if it did. And is that the 2 Girls 1 Cup music in the background?

Paper Mario, In Real Life

Chris Lange is one crafty dude. He made the images you see 100% from Nintendo Power mags, how fresh! If you’re down for purchasing one though, you’ll have to drop a few for these. For a 30″ x 20″ collage it’ll cost about $250. Chris will do a custom size per request also. Awesome job, [...]

Death Note Christmas Figures

Kira Clause is making a death list and he’s checking it twice so look out, miscreants! These chibi Nendoroid Death Note figs feature everyone’s favorite angsty teen murderer, Light Yagami as Old Saint Nick an the insanely weird/insanely brilliant mystery detective, “L” as a slave-driven reindeer. And if you don’t like their roles it’s totally [...]

Light Up The Holidays in TRUE Geek Fashion

These are nice, but idunno about $100 worth of nice… that’s a LOT of bones to drop on a candle-holder no matter how nice it is. You could probably make your own for a whole lot less…. out of a real Atari 2600 joystick. [Via Retro To Go]
