Video Game De-Makes: Bioshock for the Gameboy?
The people over at Pixelation ran a clever contest, challenging their users to design screenshots of modern games… on the Gameboy. Bioshock, Twilight Princess, Guitar Hero, Metal Gear Solid, Psychonauts, Final Fantasy XII… nothing was too sacred to be de-maked. I’ve got to say, Bioshock is definitely my favorite out of the bunch I’ve seen.
We’ve [...]
Shy Guy Plushie: Cute & Throwable
I don’t know about you, but I sort of just want to buy this little guy, pick him up, and hurl him at someone. He’ll have to be upside down, of course, with his little feet wiggling furiously in the air.
Ah, Super Mario Bros. 2. The worst in the series, but possibly the most memorable [...]
LOLTrek: An Internet Phenomenon, Revisited
While surfing around the interwebs the other day, I rediscovered LOLTrek. I would state that surely you remember this internet phenomenon that swept the blogs in the summer of 2007… however a handful of people I sent the link to (accompanied with LOLs & ROFLs) were experiencing it for the very first time.
The guys at [...]
Guinea Pig Olympics: More Entertaining Than The Regular Kind
If there is one thing that absolutely bores me to tears, it is the Olympics. If you couldn’t tell from my rambling about video games, comic books, Legos, and movies, I’m the exact opposite of an athlete. Seriously, typing this blog post is making me hungry.

Discovery Channel’s Shark Week Pedicab: Wow
If there’s one thing my girlfriend can’t get enough of, it’s Shark Week on the Discovery Channel. I know, I know, you thought I was going to say me. Well, you were dead wrong. She likes sharks.
Apparently the Discovery Channel hired artist Stefan Paulos to create this here pedicab. I’m really hoping it shows 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, [...]
Hotwicks: Finally, A Candle That Smells Like Columbus Boulevard
It’s a candle and an alibi all in one! You don’t smell like a stripper, you just smell like a candle.
This is our favorite candle. After hundreds of hours of research and a lot of dollar bills we succeeded in capturing the legendary stripper scent. If you don’t know what a stripper smells like just [...]

Introducing Slobsofgaming’s tribute to these geek-goddesses that someone should make a calendar out of. Also, Eric, I took care of getting Samus’ contact info - I sent her an email on the [...]
Nintendo DS Faces - Ben Franklin
Cybger Gadget will be releasing some lovable Nintendo DS Lite system cases in December, featuring the faces of two characters from the children’s show Gachapin.
That show is huge in Japan, but not so popular in Philadelphia. In an attempt to capatalize on this fact, Philadelphia has issued their own DS case.
100% real picture after the [...]
