Ximending Controller Bench
Snapped by my friend Kat W. as we wandered around Ximending - one of Taipei's painfully hip and trending shopping areas, as well as a great place to nose around for video game related stuff, but that usually happens in stores, not on benches. More »

picture mystery solved(-ish)!
Giant Nintendo Flickr Graffiti Set
Way back in May we posted a mysterious picture of a prickly 8-bit snapsot in Oslo, Norway of all places. Well, today the mystery isn't totally solved, but we do have a 70 piece Flickr set showing all (probably) the Nintendo-themed creations. Flickr member TheFunkyHorror has put a description for these photos saying "This set contains pictures of my own Nintendo-based street-art". Not only are they super cute, but there's also one picture in the set that y'all better recognize. I added that one as a favorite. More » -

Warriors Graffiti Invades NYC
Rockstar Games seems to be pulling out all the stops for their new advertising campaign for The Warriors on PSP. Andrew Yoon at PSP Fanboy found this bit of Warriors graffiti applied to the sidewalk near his home in New York City. Certainly using graffiti to promote a game is nothing new, Epic Games did it for Gears of War and Sony got in hot water for their vandalistic (yes I just made that word up) promotion of the PSP. But, is this really a good way to sell a game or system? It certainly puts the name out there, but are you really going to go out and buy a game just because you saw it's logo spray painted on the side of the local Moose Lodge? More » -

Bubble Bobble Street Art Makes Worlds Less Brown
It's the perfect cure for video games that are just too damned brown! Throw a little mashup of Bub and Bob on the outside of an historic bear garden and bring wacky colorful fun to passersby. That kind of fun is on par with packs of hunting dogs being maimed by chained, wild bears. And vice versa! More »

Super Mushrooms Popping Up *Everywhere*
Hey guys, maybe this whole mushroom tagging thing is getting a little played out. Today alone we got tipped off about two separate power up mushrooms adorning very public areas. Are there that many rabid Super Mario Bros. fans out there, looking to make their mark on the world? Is Nintendo now in the business of hiring street artists worldwide to shill copies of New Super Mario Bros.? More »

N.Y. Councilman Wants Sony to Pay for Graffiti
The PSP graffiti campaign hasn't been in the news much lately, but Queens Councilman Peter Vallone Jr. wants Sony to clean up the scribblings and then donate $20k to an anti-graffiti group, according to United Press International. A Sony spokeswoman defended the graffiti on the grounds that the drawings appeared in areas where public advertising is considered "normal," and asserted that Sony was simply "using the space differently." Will other communities and cities demand similar action from Sony? More » -

WoW Graffiti Spotted in LAX Bathroom
A friend of mine was traveling through the lovely shit hole that is Los Angeles International Airport when he was forced to make a stop in one of their scenic bathrooms in the American Airlines terminal. Much to his surprise he discovered some World of Warcraft-related grafitti scrawled on the side of one of the stalls. Being a braver man than I, said friend whipped out a camera and snagged a pic. The text reads: More » -
