This potential father-of-the-year candidate painted a 12-foot long Super Mario Bros. 3 mural on his son’s bedroom wall. Each pixel was painted over a huge grid that the father drew out across the wall. The whole project took about 2 years to complete, but the father admits he slacked for about a year and a half. You can see lots of work-in-progress shots and a full view of the mural here. Thanks for the tip, Dean! 
This pixel graffiti featuring the original Link sprite from the NES Legend of Zelda was spotted in Paris, France and photographed by EvilJoe who says:
NB’s Closet makes awesome laser cut jewelry perfect for just about any nerd. Some standouts include necklaces featuring dual NES Zappers, the Power Glove, a crazy-faced Game Boy, a chainsaw, and Casio Sk-1 & VL-Tone keyboards. There’s a bunch of different colors available for each design as well; so if a baby blue Power Glove isn’t your thing, you can always opt for a color that better suits your manliness. They also make rings, dog tags, and… fish bowl covers — talk about random. But you should totally check out their bargain section for things like Game Boy cell phone charms and keychains, NES controller charms, and for the chiptuners out there, they even have LSDJ necklace charms (currently sold out) and stencils! And best of all, everything is dirt cheap! The necklaces only go as high as $10 and the most expensive thing in bargain bin is a mere $3. Oh yeah, and you also get a free cock ring with every order.
You can see more at nbscloset.com.
Been waiting for this to come out since I first heard about it some time last year. Too bad it’s for PC only.
Here’s a list of places where you can download the game for free. Hurry, before Valve makes him take it down! Let me know how it is in the comments! [Via Kotaku]
I’ve already seen a Lego version of an NES console, but that thing was tiny. This Lego NES cartridge by Flynn2000 is a real-deal-Holyfield, life-size replica. Here’s a comparison: Now somebody just needs to make a life-size Lego NES for this thing to nestle in.
Wash your stinky ass with NES controller soap from DigitalSoaps! Perfect for the nerd in your life who’s not too keen on hygiene. And best of all, it smells like Mountain Dew! Warning: If it’s your nerd’s first time bathing with NES controller soap, do not let him go unsupervised as they may try to eat the soap due to its Mountainy Dewy scent. The Etsy seller who made these is actually all sold out, but they have lots of other cool soaps at their shop like iPods, Xbox 360 & Sega Genesis controllers, Tetris blocks, and Space Invaders.

Indie game designer Eric Ruth is currently working on a Left 4 Dead “de-make” featuring 8-bit graphics and sounds and each map and campaign from the original game. Eric just wrapped up on the first mission, “No Mercy” and he expects the game to be completed by early January 2010 and he’ll release it as a free download for PC. Although, since the game only allows for 2 players as opposed to 4, shouldn’t it be called Left 2 Die? [Via Sci-Fi Wasabi]
I’ve featured countless custom designer toys and custom console mods on Albotas throughout the years, but these custom NES systems by Thretris (spotted on Tiny Cartridge) are the first I’ve seen that have sort of a designer toy aesthetic. The polish and level of professional quality on these are amazing. The line between toy customizing and console modding is just a bit more blurry.
And since we’re on the topic of custom NES consoles, check out this red velvet NES by Phil McCoy and sexy-ass Battletoads NES by Phil’s friend Greg which were also featured on Tiny Cartridge:
Possibly one of the best NES mods ever.
This is the NESticle, not to be confused with the NES emulator. Aside from the silly-yet-awesome name, it houses working Sanwa joystick parts and works with the Xbox 360, PS3 as well as Mac, Windows, and Linux machines. As cool as it is, I kinda’ wish it was facing the right way. You have to turn the console around in order to play it an everyone knows that staring at an NES’s ass isn’t as cool as staring at its frontal goods.

As somewhat of an offensive guy myself, it takes a lot to offend me, but I had my doubts about posting this. I still do and I’m sure I’ll regret it, but here it is anyway. Here’s three NES cartridge wheatpastes spotted in New York featuring mock titles such as Gran Torino: The Game, JFK: The Game, and — this one’s terrible — Jon Benet’s Killer Christmas. Ugh.
These wheatpastes are the handywork of AltrdBst. Funny or tasteless? What do you guys think? [Via Penningtron]
Modder airz whipped up this sexy NES emulator inside of an NES cartridge and it even has a video-out funtion so that you can play the games on a TV! It also plays Gameboy games, Gameboy Color games, and MP3s.
The mod was made using one of those bootleg emulators from China that shady vendors at the mall always try to sell. I wonder if anyone ever tried modding a GP2X into an NES console… Here’s a vid showing of the mod in action: [Via Technabob]
Here’s some crazy Nintendo fanboy scarification body art. The process involves the cutting and peeling of the skin, which I hear doesn’t tickle. The things people will do for their love of gaming. I actually have a Space Invader and Invincibility Star tattooed on me. Any of you guys have nerdy tats?
Keep your pimp hand strong with one of the most ridiculous casemods ever. It’s actually called the PIMPedno, but I thought PIMPtendo sounded cooler. This atrocity could be ours at a starting bid of only $50 over at ChaseTheChuckwagon. [Via gameSniped]
How awesome would it be if there were 8-bit versions of Resident Evil, Half-Life, and Pikmin for the original NES!? Someone out there with mad programming skills needs to make this a reality. Until then, you can pick up these sweet magnet sets from Etsy seller ArcadeArt for only $20 per set.
