Megaman Remakes are cheap? $800 for an Earthbound Ruler, Custom GameBoy for music, and creepy 8bit-real-life art!
Hopefully there’s not too much blood spilt after our writer Paul has decided to have his say about the modernised remakes of the Mega Man series? I’m having a good giggle at the article! Hope you folks enjoy it too!
Okay, so many of you have heard about Stadium Events going for ridiculous amounts of money on eBay right? Well how about loads of money for a friggin ruler?
THAT thing went for US$800. So there you have it, tis the season to auction off priceless retrogaming collectibles (Although if anyone has a PAL copy of Secret of Mana to donate to the website, that would be great, thank you) ;)
Something that is worth grabbing either for fun, or for a band/music project (It’s given me ideas that’s for sure!) is a customised Game Boy from Thretris.
I’m verrrrry tempted! This is designed to use the Game Boy for audio sequencing, and that blue (backlit) screen looks amazing! Just as amazing as this T-Shirt:
Like we care about the non-gamers anyway, right folks? ;) Finally moving onto something quite creepy.. quite QUITE creepy… THIS artist by the name of Jimiyo has made some creepy, yet amazing artwork to pay homage to Link as well as Mario;
Bravo! See you folks tomorrow!

Sunday 7th February 2010: Lady Galaga, Mega Man vs EVERY boss, Mario Rap and bling bling to match!!
Hi folks, it’s been a while since we posted something, so we’re going to try a new formula. Every evening, usually around news time on the television, we will post to you top findings for the day in one article instead of bombarding folks on Twitter and Facebook with numerous posts. So here we go:
Spotted this on the web, American rapper Pharrell Williams showing off his videogame-themed bling bling!

Yes please! Speaking about rapping, Collegehumor has a great video inspired from the GameBoy classic Super Mario Land.
Still stuck in my head.. Speaking of things which are hard to get out of one’s mind, are 25 of the worst video-game stock photos collated by GameSpy AU. You know what stock photos are right?

Now, like every other internet (ab)user like myself. I’m a sucker for funny videos from YouTube, extra points for manic on top of funny, and even more bonus points for retrogame-themed, on top of manic, on top.. well you get the idea. Is Mega Man (or Rock Man) powerful enough to defeat every boss in the one room? Find out from this video here:
What’s hard to find is decent wallpaper on the web, especially really slick ones dedicated to retrogaming. Well look no further, here we have DeviantArt artist Orioto with a breathtaking homage to R-Type:

Maybe the internet knows that valentines day is around the corner, and it knows how to trick a guy like me into falling for someone.. One way could be with this poem on a T-Shirt perhaps?

Whilst on the gag-reactionary topic of love, and wanting love, the internet has also informed me also that Lady Gaga is single and looking for a boyfriend! Well..

So that is it for today’s daily findings. Hope you enjoy this new formula, if not, please let us know!
