Daily Graffiti: Huge Mural Features Mega Man, Big Daddy, Metroids, Sonic, Mario, and More!

The above photo taken by Takayuki Yoshida (aka TaktheTalk) is on a wall somewhere in Colorado. The mural features well-known gaming icons like Sonic and Mario, with some lesser-known gaming heroes like Mr. Driller and Billy Hatcher. There’s even some never gaming mascots like the Castle Crashers, Bioshock’s Big Daddy, Pipboy from Fallout 3, and even a Raving Rabbid.

Below are some more pics of the same wall, taken by Seetwist.


Here’s a shot of Big Daddy on the other side of the Alameda Video Game Wall, also known as Alameda Alley.

Brock Davis aka “Laser Bread” has broken down iconic imagery from classic video games into basic shapes and colors for some pretty striking results. In case you’re not quite as geeky as you thought, the above image is Brock’s take on Dig Dug.

Check out Donkey Kong and Missile Command below.

You can find a buttload more of Brock’s amazing work like this painting of Luke Skywalker as a piece of toast popping out of a toaster on his Flickr page.

8-Bit Hip-Hop Video Features Mega Man, Mario, Pac-Man, Kirby, and More!

This video for the song “Follow Me” by Pato Pooh featuring Adam Tensta is just brilliant. It mixes classic 8-Bit gaming sprites with some 2009 glossy design aesthetic. The song also has a chiptune vibe to it that’s actually pretty awesome.

Seriously, you need to watch this.

You can also download Pato Pooh’s entire album here. Just click the link that says LADDA HEM ALBUMET GENOM ATT KLICKA HÄR.

I kept hoping Mega Man would shoot the princess at the end.
