Now here is a bookshelf that will have Mario jumping. Dennis and his girlfriend Judith built this custom Super Mario Bros inspired bookshelf for their apartment. Can you say DYI bad asses? Naturally the shelves are made entirely out of wood, while the warp pipe was built from a garbage can and some clever use of regular ol’ paint. For more details hit up the original source neatorama.com.
Thanks Rony for the tip.
I wish I had an 8bit wood — I really do. You would too if you saw what the guy at 8bit wood does with lumber. It is a simple idea really, he cuts wood into tiny perfectly square pixels, glues them together to represent characters in his favorite video games and then finally seals the wood. Voila!
Sometimes the world’s greatest ideas are the simplest. See more at 8bit Wood.
Joseph from Monster Gallery has illustrated this gorgeous limited-edition artwork of two Atari joysticks. The only downside is that the artwork is only 3 1/4″ x 3 1/4″. Fortunately for us the artist has priced it right at $4.20.

I admit, this is old news. However, every time I mention the famous Gigantic NES Controller Coffee Table everyone seems to draw a blank in disbelief. I then have to boot up Firefox and Google the darn thing. So here it is for everyone to see, if you haven’t already, the Super-sized NES Controller Coffee Table created by Kyle Downes. The kicker? The thing actually works as a controller for the Nintendo Entertainment System.
Kyle was nice enough to share how he created the coffee table on his blog (now never updated), so have at it!

You will be hard pressed to find someone who thinks the PSP is the greatest handheld system ever made, however the hardware from Sony has its share of fans. One of those fans is norsuneiti. She went out of her way to hand craft a delightful pillow that looks exactly like a PSP system, only much bigger.

LTL Prints is serving up wall decals and graphics of the indie game sensation BIT.TRIP. Our favorite is naturally CommanderVideo Running. We are not entirely sure what LTL Prints means when they say “LTL Premium Wall Graphics combine space-age new materials with state-of-the-art digital production technologies”, but we are guessing they mean their prints are the best of what’s around and you should just pimp up your wall yo!
Although an 8bit finger hanger will be a more wonderful memory to a PC gamer than a console game, anyone can appreciate an 8bit throwback.
After purchasing a Playstation 3, Stephane Perruchon, a long time fan of the Sony Playstation controllers, wondered what a coffee table that made use of two gigantic Playstation 3 Dual Shock controllers would look like. His vision turned to this product render of the Playstation 3 Dualshock Controller table. Though the table is only in render form, our geeky heart palpitates rapidly with visions of one of these in our living room.

My days with an Atari were brief thanks in part to the the day my pubescent hands held a Nintendo controller. Regardless, I was stoked when I saw this set of Atari controllers being used as coat hangers. The product was created by Felipe Morales in 2005 as part of an eco-project.
Though you can not currently purchase one, you can admire it — like art.
