I like it; it's clever. Kind of classy for tramp stamp.

Don't add anything on the back -- leave it up to the viewers' imaginations which movie they're watching.

Waterloo Labs states that different parts of the human eye have different electrical charges. Align electrodes with those movements and you can measure them with an electro-oculogram. These signals can then be translated into commands in a NES. Then it's a simple matter of inserting the Super Mario Bros. cartridge.

Malte Jehmlich and Matthes Mikysec made an analog version of a racing arcade game. They built a cardboard tunnel and set up a remote controlled car with a camera. Then they built an arcade cabinet for the screen and controls. The track is designed to look like the 1995 game Wipeout.

Cartoonist Eric Feurstein lampooned John Marston's adventures in Red Dead Redemption by chronicling 24 hours of his life. This is 9:12 AM.

Well, sometimes you have to move the plot along, even if it means that the PC's actions don't make sense.

Xbox's new Kinect gaming platform may seem nifty and high-tech, but as this video shows, it can't do all of the things that Connect Four can. It's four times as advanced -- or else, they would have called it "Connect" instead of "Connect Four, right?. Comedy courtesy of IGN.

Marvel has a page of preview art for Deadpool #1000 by Phil Bond. You can view the full page at the link. I gather that Canadian government representatives are trying to persuade Deadpool to work for them.

An anonymous family facing the foreclosure of their home found a box of old comic books in the house. Most are now worth only a few dollars. But one was the prized Action Comics #1 -- the first comic book to feature Superman:

In a statement released through ComicConnect, the owner of the prized comic book said the family was still "a little shell shocked" after the unexpected find. "I was so nervous when I realized what it was worth," the owner said. "I know I am very fortunate but I will be greatly relieved when this book finds a new home."

Last Thursday, the couple's copy received a 5.0 VG(Very Good)/Fine rating on a scale of 1 to 10. It could fetch upwards of $250,000 when it goes up for auction on ComicConnect.com from Aug. 27 through Sept. 17.

Flickr user Ryan Palser made an AER9 Laser Rifle from Fallout 3:

I built it from scratch, using mostly wood and sheet plastic. It's an amazing design, and was a great learning experience. Being the first "realistic" prop that I've attempted, I'm pretty stoked about the final result. I got the blueprints from Harrison Krix over at Volpin Props.

This is fun! Ed Fries of Code Mystics put together a playable version of Halo that resembles a classic Atari 2600 game. When you start, go straight up to find a gun. Use the arrow keys to maneuver and the spacebar to shoot.

The comedy team Smosh consists of Anthony Padilla and Ian Hecox. In this video, they explain why it would be bad for cartoons to be realistic using scenes from alternative versions of Pokémon, Dragon Ball Z, The Simpsons, He-Man, and others.

1971 saw the birth of The Oregon Trail -- one of the earliest educational computer games. It was originally text-dependent until later versions included reasonably impressive graphics. The above video is a trailer for a non-existent movie that stays faithful to the game, courtesy of the comedy sketch group Half Day Today.
