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.

Check out this tiny Super Nintendo papercraft console. It was created by Chilean papercrafter ryo007, and even has a pair of even smaller controllers AND a set of game cartridges. If you want to make one yourself, ryo has the cut-out diagrams on DeviantArt.

ryo is obviously a master Jedi of papercraft. I salute you, fellow geek.

I tried to make one of these one time and it ended in a bloody mess of paper cuts. So when my neighbor saw me working with scissors with a blood stained shirt, he was nice enough to make a phone call. The cops busted in the door and questioned my sanity when they saw the project. When they saw all my magazines with the letters cut out and my wall devoted to Princess Peach porn and Paris Hilton, they had a few questions for me.

Time to get your geek on.

• Forget the honey-do list for one weekend. What could be a better use of that new Makita belt sander than the power tool drag races? “Blown Big-Block Belt Sanders . . .Nitro Burning Funny-Saws. . .Wheel Standin’ Weed Wackers…” More pictures and information here.
• The record to solve a Rubik’s cube is 9.18 seconds. Me? I’ve never even come close to solving that thing. Maybe I need this DIY kit to teach me how to become a speed cuber.
• This DIY Sega arcade cabinet is a geek’s dream. It has a large Sony display on top, a car audio system built in, and it houses not only his PC, but a PS3, and Xbox 360 as well.

If you’re looking for a cool gift for the Nintendo fanatic in your life, check out these plush Gameboys. They have some very cool cartoon style happening and are made by KungFuCowgirl on Etsy. They measure just a bit larger then actual gameboys and will only set you back about $14.

This hand-painted Super Mario themed Wii features a scene from the classic platformer. It even has a 3-dimensional Mario busting out of the side. It was done using a large amount of modeling clay and Bondo.

There’s a tutorial over on Instructables, showing you how to do the same thing. The creator says he is probably putting this one up for auction in the next week to raise some cash, so watch ebay if you are too lazy to make your own.

Blu-Ray Laser Phaser! - video powered by Metacafe

First off, this guy’s hypnotic voice makes me feel like Data himself is explaining things. Basically, you just install a Blu-Ray laser into a Star Trek phaser gun and you have a shiny new geek toy. It costs less than $100 to build, and possibly your eyesight.

I’m gonna try this myself over the weekend. If you don’t see any updates on Monday, it’s because I haven’t seen anything since Saturday.

Here’s a set of cool, slightly odd and creepy Star Wars dolls featuring Chewbacca, C-3PO, a Clone Trooper and some others. Made by My Paper Crane.

Very crafty indeed and they look easy to make. Great project for DIY enthusiasts who love all things Star Wars.
