Space Invaders Pillow

Not content with allowing Nintendo to be the only company to squeeze the life out it’s classics, Tatio is joining in with of all things a set of pillows.

These pillows are part of the 30th Anniversary of Space Invaders and Taito’s been celebrating the historic event with numerous merchandise offers, the latest being these pillows. While these pillows are awesome I can’t help but think they’re lacking a duvet to accompany them, they feel like only half of a product. The cynic in me suspects that will arrive later. (Read on …)

Master Chief Disguised As Samus Aran

So would you call him Master Aran (sounds vaguely “Mysterious Kung Fu Master” to me) or Samus Chief? Or could this be the Bounty Hunter herself?

This custom paint job for the Master Chief was born out of the result of speculation about how closely the Master Chief looks to Samus Aran. The figure was made using the Body and the arms of the EOD variant armour and the C.Q.B variant helmet, it was then painted to match Samus’ Varia suit.

Created by eBay user deathwind000, who promises the paint won’t rub or chip off, it can be yours for a very reasonable starting bid of $1 and shipping for $7.

Up, Up, Down, Down, Left, Right, Left, Right, B, AAAAAahhhhhhhh!

From the mind of French designer John Nouanesing comes the Geekini, a very desirable NES controller (female not included). This is only a concept piece at the moment (aren’t they all), but if it were to ever go into production then you can take the Wiimote and shove it, I’m going old skool.

More pics after the jump ;)

My God, it’s full of stars…

Now this is my kind of arcade machine… it’s yellow :)

Looking like something from the control deck of a Pan American spaceplane, Martijn Koch’s Retro Space packs in arcade-quality Sanwa joysticks, pushbuttons, an Su20 trackball and includes over 100 licensed arcade classics and a suite of emulators. The cabinet also functions as an HD media jukebox, with a 2×90 watt speaker system and everything visual displayed on a 24-inch 1920×1200 monitor.

As expected there is no price on the website, but you can contact Martijn Koch for a price list and order form.

Donkey Kong Jenga

Jenga, the classic tower building game turned pub favourite is having a 21st century make over.

The  makeover sees Jenga fabulously glammed up into a variety of concepts, from sports teams and seasonal styles to a girly pink and an “extreme Jenga” one. Of course it’s the Donkey Kong one that piques the interest and quite rightly too, since the iron girders of Donkey Kong serves a perfect replacement and Mario looks right at home on too.

Importers can get their grubby mitts on Donkey Kong Jenga from the US Amazon site.

Mega Man 9 Soundtrack

Fortunately for us gamers Capcom understands that there is a market for game music (or a least they understand there’s money to be made from it). So it comes as relatively no surprise to find out that the yet unreleased Mega Man 9 is getting the soundtrack treatment. (Read on …)

First 4 Figures Sonic and Ryu

First 4 figures have managed to secure the rights produce not only Ryu Hayabusa statue, but also Sonic the Hedgehog statues too.

Ryu’s statue is based on the recently released Ninja Gaiden II for the XBOX 360, He comes equipped with his signature Dragon Sword, Eclipse Scythe, and a Falcon’s Talon. At 1/4 scale, Ryu stands at 18 inches tall and when you include his Eclipse Scythe, he stands at 31 inches tall. If you want to get hold of one of these you are going to need $349.99 and a little bit of luck too, because there will only be a Limited 1,999 pieces worldwide
Available. Get on over to First4Figures to pre-order one.

Since Sonic’s image hasn’t changed a lot over the years Sonic so will look exactly as you’d expect him to, at 12 inches tall Sonic will be a little cheaper than Ryu at only $99.99 and will be available in September. How many being made hasn’t been made clear so if you do want one you better pre-order now!

Link Amigurumi

I know this is impossibly cute , but first off, I had no idea what Amigurumi meant so I had to “Wiki it” to find out. The best way to describe it is the Japanese art of knitting or crocheting small stuffed animals and anthropomorphic creatures.

Possibly because it is Link I think this is the best Amigurumi (check me out and my new vocabulary!) i’ve ever seen. The level of detail is almost unbelievable, even down to his Master Sword, Hylian Shield, Lon Lon Milk and Ocarina, which have also been pain stakenly recreated in miniture form.

The artist artoo1121 has recreated a whole bevy of Star Wars and Lord of the Ring characters to this cute Amigurumi style, which can all be viewed on his Flikr page. Also if you would like to purchace any of his work you can do so via his Etsy page, called Geek Central Station.

Tetris Ice Cubes

I have this weird thing where I love geeky stuff, but I love it even more if it looks average in the sense that the average non-geek wouldn’t recognise its origins.

This is not born out of an embarrassment to being a geek myself, which I’m not, but more out of a case of identifying other geeks and testing one another’s geekness (lame, I know). This particular item should fit into this category (if only just) because at causal glance it’s just another ice cube tray, on closer inspection the Tetris blocks become apparent.

With these and the awesome Lego ice trays even my drinks will be suitably geeky

Video Game Play and Addiction: A Guide for Parents

A new book from Kourosh Dini, MD, titled “Video Game Play and Addiction: A Guide for Parents.” looks at gaming and asks the question are games bad for you? And hopes to de-stigmatise gaming (Read on …)
