5) Egg them on
The Nintendo House was good PR. Making the head teachers from various Los Angeles schools sit on a giganto Yoshi egg in the baking Southern Californian sun is great PR. Being publicly humiliated for 15 minutes bagged them $500 for the school, and all in the name of Yoshi's Island. Imagine the monster Yoshi that thing would hatch, and then forget about it before he tramples all over your brain.
6) NESrophilia
It's tantamount to making a thermos flask from your great-great-grandfather's skull, but GeekGear's clock fashioned from a NES motherboard has a certain charm. That charm being that our working NES is now one NES closer to becoming a collector's item goldmine.
7) Plumb new depths
Picopico Sound Project (a Japanese chiptune musical act) have employed two female vocalists to accompany their bleepy-bloopy tunes. But these aren't any old vocalists. Oh no. These ones are willing to degrade themselves by dressing in sexified Mario and Luigi costumes. We're particularly enamoured with the massive gloves.
8) Piece of (yes) cake
For those of you who couldn't resist eating last month's entry thanks to Martha Stewart's delicious Wii cake printed, we bring good news. The New York Post has printed the recipe for said cake. If you imagine it's Miyamoto writing about the real console while you read "I drew the desired designs on the buttons with milk chocolate" and "Once the buttons were dry I glued them on to the remote using white chocolate" the whole article becomes a lot funnier.
