This is awesome, and you should do this — Play Super Mario in your browser compliments of HTML 5! Yeah, it’s not the smoothest gameplay ever. But…it’s Super Mario…in your browser. Thank you, Robert Kleffner.
I can finally die happy, as the one product I’ve been waiting my short 29 years for has finally become a reality. The bridge of your nose will never get any happier than this, that chuck of skin where the top of your ear meets your head, will never feel as special as it will when you drape these beauties on your next-gen face.
Dzmitry SAMAL Eyewear brings us the most exciting face candy we’ll ever see. For those of you born in in the 64bit days probably have no idea what I’m talking about. Before your “dressed in black just like a” Sega Genesis, we had a console, well, a couple consoles that were lacking on the definition. Us older people used to play games in the single numeric bit value, that left a long lasting spot for the desire to continue the 8bit lifestyle. 26 years or so later from the first NES I brought home, I still have one, it isn’t the original, but that worked up until probably 2002 – 17 years, yet my XBox 360 didn’t last 3. I still have my NES hooked up, and still give it a ‘blow’ at least a couple times a week. 8bit nostalgia will be here longer than any other 80′s addiction – well, minus cocaine. Nothing else has been a constant in our hearts as long as the 8bit days have been, and now it can be just as constant on our drab faces!
I thought this was pretty damn sweet. And since I have two copies of an old Bugs Bunny Birthday Blowout game for my NES, one of them is becoming a new Wireless router. I know I have brought the fury when it comes to the raping of NES products, but since I have two of them (I stole one from a friend when I was like 8 years old), I am going to use it for this project.
Found this through Kotaku, which was found by them over at Instructables. I am definitely going to give this a shot.
I’ll have to dig up my soldering iron. But once I do, this one is on like Donkey Kong.
If you took Super Mario and Twitter, threw them together in a room, in to which they conceived a child, Super Twario would be it. It’s a “social game” of sorts — your tweets are turned into platforms for your character (a rabbit) to jump on. But it gets more involved. When you jump on/hit the platforms, you have the option of reading and replying to tweets. Bolstering your score comes by way of other, Twitter-esque events: tweets, gaining new followers, Follow Friday mentions, as well as being ReTweeted. Rounding out the uber social status of this game is the fact that it is Game Center compatible. So yes, all of your friends (and strangers) are included in the fun.
The concept is definitely unique. It’s cool to see a game built around a living, breathing social stream. Of course, you won’t really ever know how it works if you don’t try it out. Fire up the App Store on your iPhone and set down your $2 to get started. Hop inside to check out a video showing it in action…
How awesome would it have been to blow away ducks, kill King Koopa, and chase down that big Ape called Donkey Kong all while having your hands massaged with the gentle oscillations of a spinning piece of metal? My oh my. A vibrating NES controller, you have my heart. I just wish you had it 20 years ago. If only…if only…
Now, if you knew me (which you don’t), you’d know my deep love/lust for the NES and all NES type NES things. I have loved the original Nintendo Entertainment System since it showed up under my Christmas tree like 25 years ago or whenever it was. I have had a couple of them. Unfortunately, I no longer have my original console, but I do at least have one that still works. Granted, the reason it still works is because I have lungs that double as NES-saving bags of air.
I could go on and on and on raving about my beautiful little console of the gods, but I won’t. I’ll just leave you with something that I know some of you will have to change your pants for, but if you are like me, you will want to murder someone because of the blasphemy this video contains. This is anti-nerd if you will. This is killing such a perfect box of love. Honestly, even if my NES was dead and no longer worked, I wouldn’t mod it. I wouldn’t have the heart to rip it apart and shove the components of another into it. I couldn’t do that. Perhaps another more realistic analogy: If my wife were dead and gone, I wouldn’t shove the working lady parts of another into her just to seem cool for my friends.
This hurts my eyes and my feelings. I’ll leave you with the video. Go ahead and bash me in the comments if you must. But know this — I’m all for the mod scene. I’m all for taking apart your red ringed xbox and putting a toaster in it. But this is wrong, and will get you no where but Hell in my books…
Video after the break. But seriously, no one wants to do this…
You can go to any audio/electronic store and find some kind of synth in which you can drop a small fortune on. But why spend so much when something so great can be had for pennies…well…3,000 penies? Nerds who want to really show off their roots and knock out a few awesome digital beats to boot need this — the NES Controller Synth.
As you can see, it’s a synthesizer jammed inside of controller. Crazy, I know. But hey, they sound pretty awesome. You can claim one for yourself by heading over to Michael Rucci’s Etsy Shop and plunkering down $30. Hop inside for a video showing it all off…
We’ve seen plenty of geek-ified home decor here at Gadgetsteria over the last couple of years. But nothing is perhaps as nerdy or cool as the larger-than-life NES Coffee Table. Built by a dude who goes by “Matt”, the NES Coffee Table features some clever hidden storage bins, power outlets hidden in the controller ports, and even a controller with actual working buttons.
For a piece of furniture, it’s pretty spectacular. I’m not going to lie; I want it. But don’t trail away after a simple glance. Hop inside for more pictures and a detailed video further highlighting the magic that’s happening with this little gem…
Another day, another NES mod. Today (well, tonight for me) we’re going to look at the Glowing TRON Theme Nintendo. As the name implies, this NES glows. But not just reactively. The UV powder and paint charge and actually glow on their own for a decent amount of time after the blacklight is pulled away. Trippy!
Now all we need is a fog machine, some thumpin’ beats, and someone willing to whip this bad boy around in the air. Yeah, retro rave here we come! Check it out after the jump…
