Sure, it aint no crystal skull, it’s cooler cuz it’s from a decapitated cyborg. It’s the kind of crap you find when aliens and mad scientists have a yard sale, so you buy it for a few bucks even though you don’t need it. Then you put it on your desk and forget about it, until some asswipe teleports into your room from the year 2134 demanding his shit back and calling you a skullfucker and all kinds of other crap.

At least that’s what happened to me. But I fixed their ass good. I sold the thing to Skynet, or cyberdyne, or whatever the hell it’s called.

If you’ve ever wanted an NES or Genesis controller belt buckle, you are in luck geeky readers. You can also get SNES, Atari, and NES Advantage styles. They range in price from $30 to $50. Hold your pants up in style while you’re shooting for the high score in a classic game of pocket pinball.

Word of warning: The Atari joystick one makes it look like you have a second retro wang.

A Nintendo fan from Russia, with far too much time on his hands, shows his love for Super Mario with this awesome paint job on his car. It’s got 1UP’s, enemies, mushrooms and goomba’s. In fact he has an entire level of Super Mario Bros.

One of the few perks to being a good looking blog writer, is that sometimes people will send you stuff. Panties, requests for sex, notes from irate husbands, etc. Hasbro sent me this Super Soaker Bottle Shot so I could try it out and let you know what I thought.

The only downside with all water guns is that eventually you have to refill it. The Super Soaker Bottle Shot allows you to screw on a standard plastic bottle instead. In fact it can even accommodate a 2 liter soda bottle allowing you to reuse them as back up liquid ammunition for when you’re in the heat of battle.

I wanted to test this properly so I gathered an accomplice and hit the road. My plan was simple. To see how many wet T-shirts I could outfit women in, in a very short time. My goal was an entire town of women with wet shirts! It was bold but necessary. First, we hit the stores and stocked up on about 200 2-liter bottles of coke. We got some smaller bottles too, just in case.

Then it was go time. We loaded our truckload of 2-liter ammo in a van and we were off. From the drivers seat I cruised around for women, while my back-up gunner had ammo at the ready.

Kid Icarus is one of the coolest games ever made. If you’ve never played it you never had an NES. Pit is an angel who has been trapped in the Underworld. He’s given a magical bow by Palutena, Goddess of Light, to help destroy Medusa, Goddess of Darkness, and restore peace to the world. Pit is awesome.

There are rumors that Kid Icarus is going to be revived.

The artwork we’ve published comes from a pitch document we got our hands on in the early part of 2008. Since then, sources have told us the game’s artwork has advanced considerably. Despite this artwork not being reflective of the game’s current standing, we’ve decided to share it so fans can get a look at what Factor 5 has experimented with.

The last nugget of information we have to share with you is in regards to the game’s plot. At the time of the document’s writing, Factor 5 had imagined a plot starring a grown-up, adult Pit, who is “cursed for thousands of years for a crime and becomes a ‘fallen angel.’” The pitch adds that “a tattoo on Pit’s arm bears the inscription of Pit’s crime.”

This Steampunk Iron Man action figure makes me want to see a movie starring this version of the armor. How cool would it be to see Tony Stark in this suit in Victorian England? This action figure is so amazing cool, I can feel it kicking my ass!

I hope Action figure manufacturers are paying attention. This is the kind of cool stuff geeks want!

Jeff de Boer is an artist who believes that cats would look cooler if they were wearing a suit of armor. I have to agree. I can easily see an alternate reality where cats are knights, fighting fire breathing mouse-dragons. That’s right, a crazy bizarro world were armored cats make humans piss in a box!

This guy has been making armor for animals since the 90’s, and he began with protective gear for mice (see pictures after jump). Then he found himself making cat battle armor.

Note: Do NOT show this to your cat! Right now we are the superior species. They must never know that they can be clothed for battle.
