Yesterday's Daily Graffiti Spotted On Google Maps

A clever Albotian who identified himself as “random torontonian” in the comments actually found yesterday’s Sonic & Robotnik Daily Graffiti via Google Maps.

Here’s the link: http://maps.google.com/maps?f=q&source=s_q&hl=en&geocode=&q=toronto,+ON,+dundas+and+young&sll=50.079148,-122.952375&sspn=0.013715,0.038581&ie=UTF8&hq=dundas+and+young&hnear=Toronto,+ON,+Canada&ll=43.652806,-79.375588&spn=0,359.990355&t=h&z=17&layer=c&cbll=43.652911,-79.375639&panoid=oa2F1rI9oVZUwTU6rttJzg&cbp=12,102.31,,0,10.3

Makes me wonder how many other Daily Graffiti pieces are visible on Google Maps…

The first person who spots any Daily Graffiti pieces in their area gets something awesome if you take a picture of yourself standing in front of it with an Albotas.com sign. I have an office full of free stuff to give away.

Hand-made ‘Bayonetta’ Tumbler Dolls

Flickr user n-moto uploaded some pics of his custom tumbler dolls featuring Bayonetta and Cereza from the hyper-sexualized action game from Platinum games, Bayonetta. The tumblr dolls appear in the game, but n-moto has brought them to life using Super Sculpey and acrylic paint. You can check out more pics and info on n-moto’s Flickr.

If you haven’t played Bayonetta, think Devil May Cry, only instead of a white-haired dude in a red trench coat, you’re playing as a hot curvy chick in a skin-tight outfit that is actually her hair. Oh, and to spice up the action, her hair is also the source of her magic, so the more powerful the spell, the more of her hair it uses aka the more naked she gets.

6 Awesomely Geeky Business Card Holders

As a semi-professional blogger for one of the most amazing geek news sites on the internet, I tend to hand out a few business cards at conventions and press gatherings. One thing I’ve been on a seemingly never-ending quest for is a badass business card holder that says “Yes, I’m a giant nerd, but I mean business!”

After the jump, check out six awesome business card holders by Banpresto inspired by retro games. Three of these are currently available, the other three are pre-orders that won’t ship until March 2010. They’re all limited edition and the most expensive one is only $10.90!

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.

Wash the nerdstink out with NES controller soap.

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.

Here’s some cool stencil graffiti featuring a sprite of Alex Kidd from the oldschool Sega days. Fun fact: did you know Alex Kidd was sort of Sega’s unofficial mascot before Sonic came in and stole the spotlight?

I still haven’t gotten my hands on Madworld, but I hear good things. This custom figure of the game’s main character Jack is pretty phenomenal. Check out more work from the artist here.
