Last year, EA held an Internet poll on who should grace the cover of Madden ’12. The publisher made sure every team was represented with a player, though that hardly meant it was the team’s superstar. In fact many people, including myself, wondered why some of the players had a real opportunity of being a cover athlete.
Apparently, EA found the voting a success because not only are they repeating it once again, but they’re doubling the amount of players who fans can decide on. (more…)

One of /film‘s favorite artists Olly Moss, imagined the Japanese Mario poster above. Titled: スーパーマリオ (Super Mario), the imagine depicts Princess Peach being stalked by the famed plumber’s arch-nemesis Bowser.
On a side-note, I would personally display the red version of this poster; it just gives off this uneasy sinister feel.
As of now, you can’t purchase the pictures but when (or if) you can, I’ll let you know.
What do you think of this sweet retro Mario clock? I think it’s pretty freaking awesome, even with a Goomba attached to the famous plumber’s crouch — swaying back ‘n forth…OUCH!
The 8-bit inspired clock was hand crafted with wood, and created by Etsy seller ClockworkOregon. It’s also fairly inexpensive, costing only $60.

These Pac-Man lights are a few years old, but I thought I should share them to you.
As you can tell, it’s Pac-Man eating the light bulbs, as if they were the pellets in the game. And right behind him are the evil ghosts that have been terrorizing him for the last 20+-years.
Bendedetto Bufalino and Benedict Deseille created these lights for the Geneva, Switzerlands’ Festival of Trees and Lights.
After the jump, check out some more pictures of Pac-Man doing his part to increase light pollution. (more…)
Way back when the 3DS was announced by Nintendo, it was promised that Game Gear titles would be released for the unit’s Virtual Console.
Next month will have been a year since the handheld was first sold in stores, and we have yet to see any former Game Gear games available in the digital store. But thanks to some investigative work by Tiny Cartridge, it looks like the promise made by Nintendo is on the verge of becoming fulfilled. (more…)
If you grew up in New England, surely you would know about the American restaurant chain called the Ground Round. As a child it was one of the top places I would wanted to dine. Not because the food was incredible, in fact, it wasn’t great at all. But they had one thing…and that was a small arcade room. I would order my food, and beg my Mom for a few quarters and mash some buttons as my burger was being grilled.
Looking back on it, there were two titles I distinctly remember playing all the time at the ol’ Round, and both titles were developed by Konami, AND both were extremely popular 90′s TV shows. One was Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles. And the other…the FREAKING The Simpsons. (more…)
