Pussycat Doll Ashley Roberts In Crysis 3 Nanosuit Body Paint Cosplay

Jeremy Bray — February 22, 2013 — Leave a comment

When Crysis 3 was announced, I was extremely excited as I loved the previous Crysis games and I enjoy seeing just how much performance I can squeeze out of my gaming desktop to be able to run the most demanding of games. Unfortunately, its lack of availability on Steam is pretty much a deal breaker for me. Hopefully EA ~~will pull their head out of their butt~~ will wake up and realize that gamers hate Origin and would much rather use Steam but I don’t really see that happening anytime soon. Anyway, while I wait and hope that eventually Crysis 3 comes to Steam, I can still enjoy some amazing nanosuit body paint!

Former Pussycat Doll singer Ashley Roberts is the woman sporting this amazing Crysis 3 inspired nanosuit body paint cosplay. Not only am I amazed at how well the body paint turned out, it goes great with those combat boots!

I am curious to know how long this took to apply because there is a lot of intricate detail involved in this nanosuit body paint cosplay.

Pac-Man Thongs Will Look Great on Any Gamer’s Feet [pics]

Jeremy Bray — February 22, 2013 — Leave a comment

Are you a gamer that loves to wear a pair of thongs (the kind for your feet) when you are at the pool or a public shower like the one at the gym? If so, then I think I may have found the perfect pair for you! Nothing says I love retro video games quite like wearing Pac-Man games on your feet!

Although these awesome Havaianas Pac-Man thongs are available to buy, you might have some issues ordering them. You can order these Pac-Man thongs from this site although judging by the domain, the site is from Brazil and unless you are good with their language, you might have some issues getting them ordered or figuring out just how much you are going to have to pay for them. Since I only speak English and some Klingon, I can’t even figure out if they ship internationally so if somebody can translate and let us know more details in the comments below, it would be much appreciated!

Super Mario Bros Cat Tree [pic]

Jeremy Bray — February 20, 2013 — Leave a comment

Being a big lover of cats and having a couple myself, it is safe to say I am a big fan of cool cat trees. In the past, I have posted some really cool ones like the Star Trek cat tree (my favorite) and even a TARDIS cat playhouse. Well, now we can add Super Mario Bros to the list with this cat tree that any cat is sure to love!

Super Mario Bros fan and Instructables user Geckoo_Designs created this amazing Super Mario Bros cat tree for their cat. Although I think the lighting of this picture is a little poor to be able to get a really good look at the cat tree, it is good enough.

For those interested in making their own Super Mario Bros cat tree, although its not up yet, Geckoo_Designs plans on putting up a guide for building your own. The guide is supposed to be up within the next week so keep an eye on his Instructables account if you want to find out how you can tackle this DIY Super Mario Bros cat tree.

Portal Companion Cube Dice [pic]

Jeremy Bray — February 15, 2013 — Leave a comment

Tired of playing with just normal dice? Sure, some color can change things up again but they still look pretty much the same so it doesn’t put that much spice into your tabletop game. However, if you are a Portal fan and are looking for a dice that is a little different, how about playing with a Companion Cube dice?

Etsy seller niquegeek is selling these awesome Portal Companion Cube dice for $29 each.

I will admit that $29 for a single dice is a bit crazy but these aren’t your average cheap dice. These Companion Cube dice are 3D printed and then fired to make them into solid steel. You also have your choice of numbers on the side or traditional Companion Cube harts (which seems like it would kind of defeat the purpose of being a dice). They are also hollow so they are much lighter than they look which I would say is a good thing.

This Bowser’s Castle Groom’s Cake Will Blow Your Mind! [pics]

Jeremy Bray — February 14, 2013 — Leave a comment

Having grown up playing all of the Super Mario Bros games, it is safe to say I have a love for the Mushroom Kingdom. Perhaps that is one of the reasons I post so many Mario cakes. Its not that they don’t deserve the recognition because they all do, I think I just tend to notice them more than many other cakes. Well, when I saw this Bowser’s Castle cake, it really caught my attention! I don’t know if I have ever seen a cake with this kind of detail on it!

This incredible Bowser’s Castle groom’s cake was created by the incredibly talented cake makers at Christopher Garren’s Let Them Eat Cake. I am in awe over the incredible amount of detail and beautiful color on this Super Mario cake! I be this cake had to have cost a small fortune to demand this level of time, effort and quality.

I could be wrong, but I suspect this was probably the groom’s favorite part of the whole wedding. I know it would be my favorite part!

Old School Tetris Necklace [pic]

Jeremy Bray — February 12, 2013 — 1 Comment

One of my favorite games growing up was Tetris. While I don’t play it much these days, it is still one of my all time favorite games. As a kid, I used to be damn good at it. I would never have a game where I would have less than 200 lines. I believe my record was 303 lines although I would say my average game was somewhere around 275. At that point, it gets pretty impossible.

Well, if you are also a fellow Tetris lover, Etsy seller gemsgemsOnEtsy is selling this awesome Tetris necklace for just $15 that I am sure you will love! They are made to order and you can specify things like color and braid so if this isn’t quite your style, you still have options. I am very tempted to order one for myself as soon as I finish this post!

The Force Was Definitely Used to Make This Angry Birds Star Wars Cake [pic]

Jeremy Bray — February 12, 2013 — 1 Comment

Angry Birds cakes and Star Wars cakes are quite common these days, but you don’t see too many Angry Birds Star Wars cakes. In fact, I think the only one I have seen before today is the Angry Birds Star Wars cake I posted a while back with a giant Chewbacca bird on it. Well, as nice as that cake was, it can’t hold a candle to this amazing Angry Birds Star Wars cake!

This beautiful Angry Birds Star Wars cake was created by Lori’s Sweet Cakes for her son’s 7th birthday. I hope her son realizes just how lucky he is to get a multiple tier cake for his birthday, much less one that looks this good! My mom used to be a cake maker and I don’t even get cakes like this!

For those unfamiliar with the movies or at least the game, the levels represent The Death Star (the top), the middle layer is Tatooine, and the bottom layer is Hoth. No details on what kind of cake it is though.

Pokemon Beer Pong Table [pic]

Jeremy Bray — February 8, 2013 — Leave a comment

Considering I don’t drink beer, I would have absolutely no use for a beer pong table. However, I still enjoy seeing really geeky beer pong tables. In the past, I have posted a really cool Legend of Zelda inspired beer pong table as well as another Legend of Zelda beer pong table that is a map of the NES game. Well, now it looks like the Pokemon world is getting in on the action with this amazing Pokemon beer pong table!

Reddit user legabwej created this amazing Pokemon beer pong table while in college (of course). It is made to look like two people battling a Blastoise and a Charizard on a couple of Game Boy systems linked together with a cable. I’d say he did a pretty amazing job with it!

Barack Obama Singing The Pokémon Theme Song [video]

Jeremy Bray — February 8, 2013 — Leave a comment

Pokemon Logo

Having grown up playing the Pokemon games on my Game Boy handhelds as well as watching the cartoon every time it aired, I still find myself humming or even singing the Pokemon theme song (from the cartoon) on occasion. I think it might just be the best theme song to a cartoon ever made although I am quite fond of the theme song to the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles (the old cartoon, not the new one which is still really good but the theme song sucks).

Well, apparently I’m not the only one who likes the Pokemon theme song because YouTube user baracksdubs decided to hunt down and string together a bunch of President Barack Obama speech clips to make him appear to be singing the Pokemon theme song. It is quite good!

I can’t even imagine how many hours of work this was tracking down the speeches, finding the right word, cutting the clips and then stitching it all together. I am impressed!

Gotta Catch ‘em all!

Assassin’s Creed Leather Wallet [pics]

Jeremy Bray — February 6, 2013 — Leave a comment

Like I have mentioned in the past, I am not a huge fan of bi-fold wallets as I have always been a tri-fold wallet kind of guy, however I will admit there are some pretty cool bi-fold wallets that I have seen. Not too long ago, I posted a pretty cool New Super Mario Bros bi-fold wallet and while I think it is pretty cool, I think this leather Assassin’s Creed bi-fold wallet ranks higher on the badass scale.

Etsy seller TNXBCreations is selling this awesome Assassin’s Creed leather wallet for $40. The wallet may not have any real fancy features like a window for your drivers license or anything, but it is a great way to make that cute cashier at the grocery store think that you are part of the Brotherhood. I suspect if people think you are an assassin, they will go out of their way to be nice to you.
