Before Painting Your Car, Consult A Picture

It's hard to find fault in any Xterra owner who takes it upon themselves to paint their rear hatch with the controls of a Game Boy...if they do it right. We'd love to be the types not make fun of people who try really hard at something and kind of miss on the execution, but we're just not that secure. So spot the big screw-up in the comments!

Oh, and that said, this car, spotted on the street by one intrepid photographer, is more than a little fantastic. And it's not likely to be replaced by various forms of emulation any time soon, which is a plus.

Yes, We Could Use Adorable Classic DS Covers

I'm generally pretty good about restraining from DS accessories purchases, but these classic Nintendo cases from an Etsy seller are a little piece of fantastic. Constructed of hand-sewn felt, the pieces are far from polished, mass-produced products, but that's precisely what makes them so charming in the first place. Pick one up for $13 or both for $21. In continuing with my fast food metric of the day, that's anywhere from 3-5 value meals.

Nintendo Forever Abandons Famicom

SEGA isn't the only company disowning vintage consoles. Starting October this Halloween, Nintendo Co., Ltd. will no longer provide hardware support for the Famicom. The console was originally launched in Japan back in 1983, and Nintendo continued to service the machine all these years. With the rise of the Virtual Console and original Famicom parts becoming harder and harder to locate, Nintendo had decided cease repairs. What's more, Nintendo Co., Ltd. will no longer repair the Super Famicom, the Nintendo 64, the Gameboy and the Gameboy Pocket. Virtual Console or not, this strikes me as sad.

Music Time!


I have totally given up on buying music. I don't go around stealing it, it's just that there's a lot of people out there who are making great tunes are willing to share them for free. It's for the love of the art or something important-sounding like that. Today, Kotaku Tower got an email from lad in Ireland who writes: More »

Clip: Gameboy Commercial

It seems to be Nintendo video day today so I have one last one for you. This time it's a GameBoy commercial featuring a giant armoured robot thing that shooots blue lasers out of it's fingers. Apparently the blue laser has the power to transport human boys into the misty land of the GameBoy nebula. When used by humans, however, the blue finger laser can be used to destroy your robot enemies. More »

The Konami Code Tattoo

Shannon over at ModBlog has posted this pic of a young lady's rather saucily placed tattoo that I'm sure will make some of you a bit overexcited and still others of you go "Um...why?" While I appreciate the sentiment behind the Konami code part, I feel kind of bad for her that she will have to go through life with that rather poorly done Gameboy right where every boyfriend and or girlfriend will have to be faced with it every time they want to get "biz-ay".

Clip: Japanese Metroid II Commerical

Wow, Japanese commercials are so freaking awesome! This is a spot from 1992 advertising Metroid: The Return of Samus in Japan. Interestingly, the only time you see any actual gameplay footage is towards the end in a reflection in Samus' helmet. The comic book styling and use of what looks like an animated Samus action figure makes this commercial a real standout. Flynn De Marco

The Brothers Brick: Lego Nirvana

The Brothers brick is one of those sites it's almost impossible to stop looking at. They gather the best Lego creations from around the "blog-o-tubes" and display them in one, easy to browse place. The range of work is incredible, covering alien spaceships, mechs and a nice variety of video game related subjects. To save us all the trouble of having to search out all the great video game pieces, my robot half-brother Neiro over at Destructoid has gathered the best of the best creations into a little gallery for your perusal. The newly added Gameboy piece (pictured) by the Brothers Arvo is especially impressive and even has a battery compartment, Lego batteries and a Game Pak. Bravo! Flynn De Marco More »

And The Gameboy's Name Is...

I know you've all been following the saga of the masturbating Gameboy with baited breath. First there came the video, which ruined the childhood memories of thousands. Then came the contest wherin the bits, bytes, pixels and sprites team sought your aid in placing a label on this madness. Now, finally, fear has a name. More »

Name The Overly Excited Gameboy

Those of you who saw the NSFW animated Gameboy video I posted here a couple of weeks ago are probably scarred for life. bits, bytes, pixels and sprites not only have an interview with the author of your sweat-inducing nightmares, but a contest as well. They are offering a chance at providing a name for everyone's favorite pretty pony princess, with the winner receiving an original Gameboy with a game of their choice.
The only problem I can foresee here, is that after watching the video in question, most people pledge never to touch their original Gameboy again. It's like being touched as a young child by a circus clown and then having someone offer you a free clown mask. Either you break down sobbing or become the maniacal clown killer from some 80s horror flick. Don't blame me when the Gameboy killings start. Michael Fahey More »

The Ipod/Gameboy Love Child

Child Killed By Water and Electricity

Tragedy struck as a 7 year-old London boy vacationing with his parents on the island of Phuket died of electrocution, having attempted to unplug his GameBoy from the wall while still dripping wet from a dip in the pool. A truly sad story, and I cannot imagine what his parents must be going through, but the press in the UK are having a field day. Here's some headlines: More »

Holy Game Boy To Smite Enemy Pokemans

This wee lad's shit-eating grin shows that he fully understands the ultimate gaming power that only the blessing of one Mr. Jesus H. Christ can grant. He's pictured touching his clamshellerific Game Boy Advance SP to the The Stone of the Anointing, "believed to be the place where Jesus' body was prepared for burial" in the Church of the Holy Sepulchre, way over there in Jerusalem. Why? He's absorbing the sanctity of Our Lord into a portable gaming device, of course. More »

Steam Powered Gameboy
