I have been lucky in that none of my gaming systems have ever died (although my first PS2 wont read disks anymore after I left it running for 4 years straight) so I don’t have to worry too much about any zombie consoles.  Apparently one Game Boy died a horrible death and has come back to life as a zombie and is ready to eat some gamer brains!  Now that I know my Nintendo Game Boys can become zombies, I think I will move my collection (I have way more of them than I should) into a locked safe or something.

I almost never play flash games because over time they seem to like to make my browsers ground to a halt, crash and I lose everything.  Luckily, when I do play them, I have never come across a game quite this evil.  In the hilarious and NSFW (language) video, some guy is trying to play some Super Mario Bros knockoff game that is clearly designed to make the gamers life absolute hell.  Take everything you remember about Super Mario Bros, throw it out the window, replace Mario with a cat and you have this horribly frustrating game.  If you watch this and are in a masochistic mood, you can give the game a shot here.

I’ve never been one for sweaters but part of that is likely because I have never seen a sweater aimed at geeks when I walk into one of the local department stores.  Well, I guess when you can’t find something you want on the shelves, you can always make it!  It looks like that is what happened in this case resulting in this guy getting an AMAZING looking Super Mario Bros sweater vest.  This is definitely a true geek!  Now for a confession… I’ve never wanted a sweater vest more than I do at this moment.

Like most gamers, I spent many hours as a kid playing Super Mario World.  It is probably my favorite Mario game and it seems to also be the favorite Mario game of modders too!  Well, somebody (I don’t know who because the video description doesn’t say who created this) apparently has a lot of time on their hands and decided to create a custom Super Mario World level and scripted it to match some amazing music.  Not knowing who the creator is, after watching this, I shall just refer to them as the god of video games.  Don’t let the length of this video (11 min) put you off, it is worth watching and will completely blow your mind!

The only fashion sense that I have is for geek fashion (check out my other blog, Fanboy Fashion) and I’d say this reversible NES controller messenger bag definitely qualifies as geek chic.  When it comes to carrying around my laptop and other assorted gadgets, I usually prefer to have a full blown backpack however if I am traveling light, I often use a messenger bag although it isn’t nearly as cool as this one.  For the NES fans out there looking for a messenger bag, you can order this from Amazon for $36.99.  A word of warning, there is no padding in this so if you want to protect your gadgets, you will have to add that yourself.

I always dread having to do plumbing tasks around my house so I can identify with Mario’s desire to quit being a plumber to pursue something that makes him happy.  I’m not sure running around jumping on turtles and avoiding fire breathing piranha plants is my idea of fun but whatever floats Mario’s boat!  At least there is always a princess waiting for him at the end of the day.

If there is one thing that sounds really tasty right now, I would definitely have to be some 8-bit Super Mario Bros cupcakes.  I can’t even imagine putting that kind of time in just to make the cupcakes have an 8-bit look.  I would have eaten the cupcakes long before the 8-bit characters and objects from Super Mario Bros ever made it on as the topping.  I guess that is why I don’t cook.

One of the first things I tend to notice on a woman is if she has a pair of really awesome earrings and this pair of Goomba earrings would definitely qualify.  Super Mario Bros lovers that also wear earrings are sure to love these awesome goomba earrings that you can by from Etsy seller lizglizz for $18.  These would be great for those of you that also bought the Piranha Plant earrings.  A word of warning though, you might not want to wear these around anybody named Mario in case they get the urge to jump on your head to try to kill the Goombas.

It never ceases to amaze me just how awesome some console mods are and this is no exception.  Apparently one NES gamer with a love for Super Mario Bros decided to paint up his old console in yellow and what I would say is a reddish-orange and cut a window in the top of it that looks like a question block from Super Mario Bros so that you can see into the console.  I’d say his console mod turned out pretty well!  There are more pictures in the source link below.

I always find it interesting what happens inside of companies when employees celebrate a milestone in their time with the company.  In companies like Microsoft, when somebody celebrates a new year with the company, they have to bring a pound of M&Ms in for every year they have been with the company.  Well, apparently Nintendo does things a bit differently.  Recently, to celebrate one employees loyalty to the company, they gave him a bronze Mario statue to celebrate his 20 years with the company.  This is pretty awesome!  Congrats to Jerry Danson, Senior Manager of Systems and Engineering for spending 20 years with Nintendo!
