What better way to enhance your game experience, then to swallow this gum during a bout of Wii Boxing. The little peppermint chicklets come packaged inside a life-sized Wii-mote shell.

Homer Simpson,Bowser,Jessica Rabbit…Now Sonic.

In the immortal words of John Wayne, “This is getting Re-God-damned-diculous.

I think my dreams have just come true. A cute girl playing games on a huge ass NES controller? Why does this never happen at my house? The NES Coffee Table can actually be used as a controller during game play, and it also provides excellent space for storing away all of your gaming gear.

I was never much of a Duck Hunt fan. That damn dog just laughed at me whenever I missed a shot. But anything Nintendo that is also a lamp is all good in my book. Here’s a qoute from the Nintendo Goddess who made it:

“A regular cartridge was too small a base, so I measured one and made a 1.5 scale replica out of cardboard, and screwed the gun to it. I weighted it with stones, and then tackled the shade.

I picked up a $2 shade at the re-store, a pack of fun foam, and voila! After hours and hours of cutting pixellated shapes, I was done! A little dab of glue to secure the shade, and… ta dah!”

Girls devoting their time and energy to all things Nintendo please me… She’s welcome here at PopTherapy anytime. Maybe we can make a Mega-man lamp together, then hump to an NES game theme.

It’s a dream of mine.

I’ve known all along that he’s a real dude. Going to work 9 to 5, exterminating Koopas and Goombas and going on plumbing jobs with his bro Luigi, then heading home to bang the princess and have a TV dinner while watching Mythbusters. Business could probably be better though, so he is always on the hunt for coins. But man, what a life.

You the man Mario. You and your sweet un-Nintendo like van.

Are we taking the “real” thing too far now? After Jessica Rabbit, Homer Simpson, Mario…This is what the real Bowser would look like. You know, if dinosaurs still existed. Would that make Mario a plumber caveman?

This Bowser is a dark and scary mofo.

As if you didn’t have enough Space Invaders crap in your home, they have now invaded your kitchen and want to help you chop your Earthly food for consumption. It does have an awesome retro look.

Slam your knife down on this guy again and again in revenge for quarters lost in the 80’s.

Check out this great post from the people at Mightygodking.com who claimed to have found a genuine working Atari 2600 at a garage sale, complete with a huge stack of classic games. In reality, it’s a huge post of classic video game artwork that’s been updated with titles and descriptions that more accurately reflect what’s being depicted on the cover. I mean really, how did the artist come up with those over-the-top covers when the games barely featured a few pixelated sprites? It’s pretty amusing.

Mario Kart Wii has been almost as highly-anticipated as Super Smash Bros. Brawl for the Wii was. It sold over 300,000 copies on launch day in Japan. However, it was outdone this week in sales by some bouncy animated boobs. Bokudake no Kajitsu is an erotic title for the PSP. What’s shocking is that Mario Kart was beaten by a game about sex. Then again, sex is what most gamers probably crave the most.

Boobs VS. Mario Kart. Boobs have won.

Tetris addicts have to get their game on whenever they can. There’s not always a game console handy after all. You’ll be slightly pissed off however, to find out that this “Chocolate bar” is not edible. The object of the “game” is to fit all of the chocolate-looking pieces into the included clear container.

Sorry, but I can’t get past the fact that it looks like chocolate and I can’t eat it. This makes it actually more frustrating then a real game of Tetris. It will cost you $7 and a trip to the nearest store where you can get candy.
