Atari 2600 Wallet

Thu, Jul 2nd, 2009

Etsy seller Nilesz recycles old Atari 2600 game cartridges into wallets. Each one is assembled by hand and requires over 2 hours to repurpose from game to wallet. They sell for $35 to 55 and make a fine conversation piece for all you old school gamers, like myself. Pretty cool? idea!

There’s even a cool video of a hungry wallet in action.

Max and the Monster

Tue, Jun 30th, 2009

When you were a kid, didn’t you get into a whole bunch of mischief? Sure you did. Although you probably didn’t chase the dog with a fork, dressed in a wolf costume, you still got sent to your room. I created this illustration inspired by the beloved children’s picture book classic, Where the Wild Things Are by Maurice Sendak. I got the idea from Terrible Yellow Eyes, a collection of works by contributing artists who share a love and admiration for Sendak’s work. Now go to your room! No supper for you!

A relationship map of the characters in the X-Men universe.

If you don’t believe me check this out: X-Men Universe Relationship Map. If you’ve got the time you could always verify all of it at Marvel. My question to you is: when did Wolverine become the center of the universe?

Note: To find Wolverine, just look for the biggest batch of lines.

Starting to get hot outside? Here’s something to cool you off. Ice Breaker – It’s a physics-based puzzle game involving vikings, chunks of ice and frozen vikings. Just click and drag your mouse to slice through the ice in order to save the frozen vikings by getting them back to their longboat. Get all the vikings to the ship to complete each level.
