Thanks to all of the modders out there, you never really know what an object is. Take this one. Looks like an old NES cartridge. It is, but it’s also an external hard drive. Until now, hard drives have not looked cool, but now you can have one in any NES cartridge you like.

Etsy seller 8-Bit Memory takes old NES cartridges, stuffs a hard drive inside and just like that you have a cool external drive. It will cost you $120 for 250GB, but he will make any size for you and with any cartridge. For an extra fee. What game would you choose? Contra? Street Fighter?

This dude is big pimpin. How many rupees do ya think he spent on all that bling? It’s an odd image. It makes me want to vomit for some reason. Is he the coolest dude ever or just some guy who needs an ass kicking? Maybe a bit of both.

If you see this dude walking the streets dressed like this, go ahead and give him a hug. Then kick him in the balls and steal his bling. He needs both.

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.

Anyone who has ever had to give NES blowjobs(that’s what I’m calling it) to cartridges in order to play them, will be able to appreciate this.

You know, NES blowjobs…On the old NES system, the cartridge contacts would get dirty and you used to have to take it out of the machine and blow the excess dirt out, then stick it back in. Sometimes the game would play, sometimes it wouldn’t.

So, anyway, this guy actually made an old NES cartridge into a Harmonica. So, now he blows into it for fun. Video below.
