Fresh Apparel for Gamers at LASTACTIONCOWBOY.COM

Our good friend thatgirl tipped us off that a friend of hers has officially launched LASTACTIONCOWBOY.COM. It’s a new online clothing store for gamers, or people who wanna’ see punk rock chicks in nerdy underwear. I won’t tell you which side of that fence I’m on, but I will tell you that those Blooper hoodies […]

Crytek Re-Considering PC Exclusitivity

This is kind of ironic stumbling on this piece of information today. I was just at Cash Converters on my lunch break and picked up Crysis on PC for $5. The game itself sold a decent amount and recently became available on Steam which is always a plus for me but if it’s $5 over […]

Wiki Wednesday: Lina Medina - The 5 Year Old Who Gave Birth

The above picture was taken of Peruvian girl Lina Medina when she was only 5 years old. Technically, 5 years, 7 months, and 21 days. And she was also 7 months pregnant at the time. Wait, what?
Long story short: she hit puberty early, got pregnant, her family took her to the hospital because they thought […]

The Cans Festival in London

Of all the weekends to not be in London….oh wait I never am. For those that are, don’t miss out on the Cans Festival going on May 3rd-5th. Tons of big name’s attending including the ever so popular and controversial Banksy. Hit up the jump for “rules” as well as artist lineup.

Realistic Bowser Sketch

Remember that scary ass Mario we posted up awhile ago? Not quite to the point of realism but this Bowser also looks creepy as shit. The artist, Marcus Blättermann, did this completely in Photoshop (show off!). I actually own a baby tortoise and now I’ll probably have nightmares of her turning into this overnight, so, […]

New Logo for the ‘Office of Government Commerce’ Totally Looks Like a Dude Jackin’ It

One important thing I learned while going to school for graphic design was this: ALWAYS LOOK AT YOUR SHIT FROM EVERY ANGLE! This logo cost £14,000 (approx. $27,527 USD) and now they just look like a bunch of jagoffs. Pun intended.
The logo, for the Office of Government Commerce, was intended to signify a bold commitment […]

Custom DIZIGN Made From Code Lyoko Figure

John from Toycutter made this spiffy budget version of Erick Scarecrows DIZIGN figure (previously seen here). It was made using a tiny-ass Code Lyoko figure. Props on a job well done! Check out his process here.

Tetris Chocolates

Take the addictiveness of Tetris and combine it with the tastiness of chocolate to form a Voltron-like structure of awesomeness. These Meiji Chocolate bars come in White Chocolate (easy puzzle for n00bs), Milk Chocolate (medium difficulty), and Dark Chocolate (expert level). They’re available for about $7 over at Strapya World.
Oh, and they’re not really chocolate. […]

Portable NES Plays Cartridges, Not ROMs.

Remember that awesome solar-powered portable NES that we featured a while back? Well, this is like that, only not as awesome. The FC Movile takes AA batteries instead of sunlight, and it doesn’t play ROMs. But it’s still kinda’ cool, I guess. I mean, at least you can look awesome while you play with oldschool […]

Buff Monster Cake

How delicious does this cake look? This was made by Buff Monster’s brother and is was about 12″. Looking good, anyone want to make a Squid Cake?…..that sounds gross actually.

Tokidoki’s SDCC Exclusive Kaniza

Vinyl Pulse dropped the news on this Kaniza fig from ToyQube designed Simone Legno, and it’ll only be available at this year’s San Diego Comic Con. Not sure how much it’ll be, but Kaniza’s typically run around $13, so seeing as how this is a limited piece by a hot designer, I’d say it’s probably […]

Get A Life: Source Released

video by gordanbadman

Not many single player mods come out for the fact that they’re usually played and forgotten. I’ve had some bad experiences first hand, from map design flaws or confusing ass puzzles that only the development team could figure out.
Get A Life features 11 hours of gameplay spanning 4 chapters as well as […]

Survive the T-Virus in Style with the Urban Security Suit

Tim Smith designed this Urban Security Suit with style in mind. Not only does it looks fresh as hell, but it’s lined with freaking Kevlar! So you can rock the gas mask to avoid catching any airborne viruses that could potentially turn you into the walking dead, AND you can rest assured than bandits won’t […]
