steampunk-inspired monster arcade cabinet
September 29, 2009 by Syndicated · Leave a Comment
Arcade cabinets are just cool#8211;there#8217;s no way around that. However, when they#8217;re built completely from the ground up, in a whole nifty steampunk motif, complete with a little touch of Frankenstein? Then they even make that ol#8217; Pac-Gentleman look#8230; okay, that#8217;s still pretty incredible, too.
It plays games! It plays#8230;

I was surfing around over on Flickr this morning and stumbled onto this awesome Space Invaders shower curtain.
It#8217;s the perfect complement to any video game themed bathroom (you know you want one). It would look great alongside a Mario Kleenex box or with Pac-Man tile work or a Donkey#8230;
this was an old school triumph: asciiportal

So, emPortal/em was never a pile of eyeball candy or anything#8211;it looked as good as it needed to look, with some really neat visuals that resulted from looking through portals, adorable turret buddies, and delicious cake, but it#8217;s not like anyone was trying for a graphical feat there. However, this new#8230;

I know that Halloween#8217;s still more than a month away, but after seeing the awesomely cute Barf Vader, I decided to do a thorough research on #8211; okay I hit Amazon. and Etsy. More on that later; let#8217;s just say that most of the costumes will make your spawn ten#8230;

The #8220;modern high heels#8221; phone is the perfect gadget for the..uh..person who collects novelty handsets. What? People have collected far weirder things. At least this one is useful.
It would have been a funny device if the shoe was actually the phone, instead of this weird bloated inner foot form#8230;

Skeptical about the PSP Go? Apparently, someone is worried you might be, since Sony has released a memo stating that the system will have 16,000 various downloadable items available at launch. That#8217;s a pretty impressive number, at least on paper.
Of course, 13,000 of those individual items (give or take)#8230;

These paintings by pixel artist Jude Buffum show what happens when cute 80s kids toys take each other on in a battle to the death, emMortal Kombat/em style. Looks like CareBear has ripped out Teddy Ruxpin#8217;s heart in an awesome finishing move known as the #8220;heart attack#8221;. (also known as the#8230;

It looks like there are Big Daddies for all sorts of emBioShock/em fans: cobbled-together Big Daddies, beaded Big Daddies, and even emedible/em Big Daddies (which look great, despite the appetite-killing mental image), and now? A sculpted version. Just keeping things fresh.
Nice work in clay here, with a lot of great detail#8230;
