Nintendo Katamari: They See Me Rollin’
Wow, I definitely want a print of this. Artist Tom Preston managed to squeeze in some truly obscure references. Bosses from Super Mario 2?! And look at Luigi crying. Perfectly captures what a pansy he is. I don’t care how high he jump.
Anyone know who that guy is on the left next to Pikachu?
Take a [...]
Batman: The Diminishing Returns
If you click over to Portfolio.com, you can check out this fun graphic that details how Batman’s ROI (rate of return) has shrunk from over 600% in Tim Burton’s first Batman film to a loss over -14% for the legendarily horrible Batman & Robin.
Rumor has it that The Dark Knight will gross over 65% [...]
Geek Photoshop Graffiti: Wow
Wow!
Check out this beautiful Flickr set by artist Paul (The Wine Guy).
He’s amassed a collection he calls “IT Everywhere“. Unfortunately these photos aren’t actually real. They’re photoshop jobs he’s created. They look pretty damn fantastic though. Bravo Paul. Bravo.

Super Mario RPG Added to Wii Console… In Japan
Ah, the Nintendo Wii’s Virtual Console. You contain so many amazing, brilliant games. Like Urban Champion, Kid Icarus, NES Soccer… wait a second. Those games are terrible! Give us something we want!
Well, Japan managed to get a sweet deal the other day on their virtual console. Super Mario RPG was released. One of the last [...]
LEGO’s One-of-a-kind Blade Runner “Spinner”
Holy Geekgasm, Batman! When Boing Boing TV visited with futurist and legendary geek Syd Mead, they came across a custom, one-of-a-kind LEGO version of the Police “Spinner” car from Blade Runner. It was presented to Mead by LEGO when he attended a design summit in Billund.
In all honesty, I would have picked it up [...]
Quake 3 + Springfield, USA = Very Impressive Video
We here at Geekadelphia love us some good editing. For the sake of the video linked here, we may want to note that a certain affinity for The Simpsons also accompanies us on a daily basis. That being said, this Quake 3 mod combines not only these two beloved elements, but also rocket launchers. Ooooh, [...]
Gameboy Foot Controller: Joey Mariano, Chiptune’s Guitar Hero
Joey Mariano, a local Philly Chiptune artist better known as Animal Style, created this glorious Gameboy Color Foot Controller, on which he has managed to create some amazing eight bit madrigals. Check out some additional photos of his gear here.
Using the power of the Gameboy sound chip, Mariano’s madrigals blend the body of early role [...]
Pac-Man + Samurai = Pac-Samurai
Behold, the ancient Pac-Man.
Uber talented illustrator Jared Moraitis created this gorgeous image of a samurai Pac-Man fighting several Japanese themed ghosts. Prints of the illustration are available, on 11″ x 17″ cover stock paper. I just dropped Jared a line, because I have got to get my hands on one of these. Framed. In an [...]
GeekArt: Video Game Controllers
Artist Butt Johnson (that’s no typo) drew up this beautiful collection of video game controllers. There’s even an R.O.B. controller. Unbelievable.
Wish I knew more about the artist. What I do know is that I’m printing it out and framing it. Visit the artist’s official website for the full size image. The small one above does [...]
Bionic Puppy: Cuter Than Bionic Comando
This adorable little puppy, who supplies us with endless comparisons to Lil’ Brudder from Homestar Runner, was born, alas, with no front legs.
Named Hope, this little Maltese puppy gets around using model airplane wheels as front leg and her hind legs to run around. She was taken in by a Maltese Rescue in Chattanooga, TN [...]
