Some creative souls in Sweden animated a Super Mario Bros. adventure with beads, and the end result is nothing short of awesome, amazing, genius, and great. I think this may be one of the best things I’ve ever seen on YouTube.
For two more shorter adventures, check out the filmmakers’ SMB playlist here. Oh, and here’s a behind-the-scenes / making-of video, which is conveniently in Swedish.
The headline kind of says it all.

Hey, remember that brilliant interactive Saved By The Bell YouTube game? Well, the geniuses behind that — the Fine Bros — are back with the equally ambitious and enjoyable Mad Men: The Game. Must I really say anything more? Go give a whirl, and don’t forget that Mad Men is finally back this Sunday. Wheeeeee!!!
I was going to do a photocap of The Real Housewives of Atlanta, but Bravo’s photo gallery (from where I pull my images) seems to be broken. Instead, check out this video of a bearded dragon playing Ant Crusher on a smartphone.
I’m gonna name him Nene!

If you like Justice as much as I do (the musical act, not the concept — although, I like that too), then you might just get a kick out of this 8-bit rendition of their single, “Audio, Video, Disco.” I don’t know about you all, but when I hear this version, I imagine playing the most amazing Mega Man level of all time. And voila, my inner geek just came out to say hi.
Get out your glow sticks and cheap cologne: it’s a totally Euro-tastic techno cover of one of the greatest video game tunes of all time — The Legend of Zelda! Finally, the wonderful, nostalgic theme song of our youth presented in the Rumanian dance club style we always knew it could shine in. Color me happy / dancing.
*note that the composer of this clip, R Master, may not in fact be European at all.
This guy’s kid refused to get out of bed; so what’s a dad to do? The answer involves water and recreating the video game Doom. I like his style…

The massive video game convention known as E3 came to town last week, and since I am a video game geek at heart, I headed into the thick of it to check out the new games and over-the-top presentations. It was a blast, as usual; although, I didn’t have any exciting star sightings this year (last year I saw Method Man, Redman, and Jason Sudeikis). Well, I did see Zachary Levi from Chuck, who was very handsome in person, but I didn’t take a picture because a) I don’t watch Chuck and b) well, there is no B. I did want to ask him why the hell he sang at the Oscars, but my curiosity wasn’t that intense.
Anyway, after the jump, check out some random pictures of games, geeks, and goings-on. Continue reading
This is random but perfect. I only wish it were longer…
