Captain Picard Made in Beads

Jeremy Bray —  March 25, 2013 — Leave a comment

For some reason, there doesn’t seem to be too many people that makes stuff with beads anymore.  I remember when I was a kid, it was quite easy to go into pretty much any mom and pop shop and find something made out of beads whether it was a necklace or a holder for your tv remotes.  Well, even though it seems to have largely become a lost art, occasion I still find some cool bead art.  In the past I found some spectacular Sonic the Hedgehog bead art but now I have found some amazing Star Trek bead art!

Reddit user djkimothy made this awesome piece of Star Trek Captain Picard bead art for a friends birthday.

I’m not sure how many beads were used or how long it took to make but judging by the quality and level of detail, I would say a lot of time and effort went into this.  It was definitely worth it too because it turned out looking great!

EXTERMINATE Thirst With This Dalek Mug [pic]

Jeremy Bray —  March 25, 2013 — Leave a comment

Not being a coffee drinker, I really don’t have much use for mugs.  I think there are a lot of cool ones out there and I even have a few but drinking water out of a coffee mug just feels awkward.  However, for those Doctor Who fans out there that love a cup of joe, I have a feeling you are going to want to drink all of your future cups of coffee out of a Dalek after you see this mug.

The awesome folks over at Urban Collector are selling this geektastic Dalek mug for just $22.99.  If you are a Whovian who loves the idea of drinking coffee straight from a Dalek, I’m pretty sure this is what you have been dreaming about.  However, you are going to be dreaming a bit longer though as this is currently only available for pre-order and it wont ship until sometime in July.

EXTERMINATE!

Make Your Own Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles Coffee Cup Cozy [pic]

Jeremy Bray —  March 25, 2013 — Leave a comment

One of the reasons I am not a huge fan of coffee and other hot drinks is because I don’t like to risk getting burned while holding the cup.  Of course I know many places offer the little cardboard sleeves to go around the cups so that doesn’t happen but I think those things just make an otherwise decent looking cup rather ugly.  However, that wouldn’t be a problem if you carry a Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles coffee cozy with you!

Ravelry user Strawberry Knits is the person behind the creation of this awesome TMNT coffee cozy.  For those with the knitting skills to make your own or perhaps have a grandmother that can make you one, you can find the pattern here.  One thing to note is that this is meant to fit a Starbucks grande size cup so keep that in mind when buying coffee to put this on.

Amazing Captain America Cupcakes [pic]

Jeremy Bray —  March 25, 2013 — Leave a comment

If there is somebody that doesn’t love cupcakes, I have never met them.  In fact, without evidence that such a person exists, I would highly doubt any claims that there are people who don’t like cupcakes.  It is certainly possible that there are people who don’t like cupcakes but I am highly skeptical.  Anyway, speaking of cupcakes, I have come across some fantastic looking Captain America cupcakes I thought I would share!

These spectacular Captain America cupcakes were made by Hundred and Thousands Cupcakes.  I would say they did an amazing job as they look pretty much perfect!  I especially love the helmet ones with the wings, eyes and nose.  I can’t say I am a Captain America fan but I am definitely a fan of these cupcakes!

This Super Mario Canned Food Display Is Amazing!

Jeremy Bray —  March 25, 2013 — Leave a comment

It is rather unfortunate that I live in a place where practically nobody has an ounce of creativity in their body.  It seems that everybody is as lazy and can be and nobody is interested in putting out any extra effort to make something that is just cool.  Well, at least there are people in other places that gladly share the creativity of the people where they live so I can live vicariously though them.  In this particular case, somebody created a spectacular Super Mario display out of canned food!

Sadly, I’m not sure who created this incredible Super Mario Bros canned food display (if you know, please let us know in the comments below so we can give them credit) but I have been informed that you can visit this display at the South Center Mall in Calgary, AB Canada.  If I had the money and hadn’t heard an endless stream of border patrol horror stories, I would love to see this in person myself!

If you ever come across something cool like this where you live, hit is up through the Contact page linked at the top and send us some pictures!

Really Cute Super Mario Bento Box

Jeremy Bray —  March 22, 2013 — Leave a comment

When I cook (which isn’t very often), I can’t say I pay much attention to how the food looks.  While I love watching shows like Iron Chef America and Chopped to see the really fancy plating for their dishes, when it comes to my own cooking, I really don’t care what it looks like.  I am all about taste over making a food look fancy.  However, I do enjoy making food that looks like really geeky things.

In the past, I have posted a couple of really cool Super Mario Bros inspired Bento boxes such as the Super Mario bento box that even has a DIY video to show you how to make your own and the other one that includes strawberries and Cheez-It crackers, two of my favorite snacks.  Well, this one stands apart from those others because where the others only feature Mario’s head, this one features all of Mario!

Unfortunately, I don’t know who created this awesome Super Mario bento box (if you know, please let us know in the comments below so we can give them credit for their creation), but I think they did a great job!  I just finished eating and this has made me hungry all over again.

Custom Final Fantasy VII PlayStation Console Mod

Jeremy Bray —  March 21, 2013 — 1 Comment

I have been a video game enthusiast nearly my entire life (I got my first console on my 2nd birthday) and having grown up on older consoles, I love to see people still doing something with them.  Whether it is playing them or modding them, I enjoy seeing that people haven’t forgotten about the great games and systems of past decades.  Speaking of modding older consoles, the king of doing just that is back and this time he has modified an old PlayStation.

In the past, I have featured the awesome console mods from a cool guy named Kevin.  He was the guy that did the Donkey Kong NES console mod I posted about in the past as well as the Super Mario NES console mod and the Legend of Zelda NES console mod (my favorite).  Well, it looks like he has been up to his old tricks again but this time with a newer console.

As you can see in the pictures below, Kevin has created a Final Fantasy VII Playstation console mod.  Although I have only ever played the original Final Fantasy for the NES, I have long been told that Final Fantasy VII is by far the best game in the franchise so it seems fitting that it would get a Playstation console mod.

Great job Kevin!

Batman Snow Sculpture

Jeremy Bray —  March 20, 2013 — Leave a comment

A little over a month ago, I posted a really amazing snow sculpture of Batman fighting a shark.  When I made that post, I also asked for people to send in their really geeky snow sculptures for me to see and this Batman snow sculpture is one of the pictures I was sent.

Global Geek News reader Alyssa send in this picture of the cool Batman snow sculpture that she made.  This Batman snowman might not be fighting a shark, but it is still pretty cool!  I love how it even includes Batman’s utility belt!

Thanks for sending this in Alyssa!  If you have any geeky snow sculptures you have made thanks to the dumping of snow from recent storms, let us know in the comments below!

Lord of the Rings Four Poster Set Including The Hobbit

Jeremy Bray —  March 19, 2013 — Leave a comment

It wasn’t until a couple of months ago that I finally got around to watching the Lord of the Rings movies.  While I still haven’t seen the Hobbit, I quickly fell in love with the other movies.  While I do find them to be extremely long (I have the extended edition blu-ray disks), they are still worth the time to watch.  However, I am not yet obsessed with them to the point that I am buying all things Lord of the Rings or dressing up in Lord of the Rings cosplay.  But, if you are one of those people, I have some posters you are going to love!

Etsy seller LynxCollection (the same people that make the great Batman posters I blogged about recently as well as many others) is selling this awesome Lord of the Rings four poster set for $49.95.  However, you can get 20% off when you use the discount code ‘geek’.  The set comes with four 11″x17″ posters, one for each Lord of the Rings movie as well as the Hobbit.  If you have been looking for some cool Lord of the Rings posters to hang in your bedroom or geek cave, these are the ones you have been looking for!

This Legend of Zelda Oil Painting is Beautiful

Jeremy Bray —  March 18, 2013 — Leave a comment

While I have a huge love for art, I don’t have a big enough bank account that would support my desire to have beautiful paintings hanging all over the walls of my house.  One of my dreams is to someday own something painted by Bob Ross but at this rate, I am probably going to need to hit the lottery first before I can afford one of his works.  Anyway, I wish there were more video game inspired paintings like the one below because this is the kind of stuff I would love to hang on my walls!

The mom of Reddit user mymindisntblown painted this spectacular Legend of Zelda oil painting for them as a house warming gift.  This Zelda painting was based on a Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time promo poster that looked basically the same but I think this turned out looking a lot cooler.  This guy has the coolest mom ever!
