The Cloud Is Killing Nintendo’s Handheld Dreams (via slashdot)
Nintendo has announced a new handheld gaming device, the 2DS, which will retail for $129.99. The 2DS disposes of the stereoscopic 3D that marked its more expensive predecessor, the 3DS, along with the clamshell design that defined previous Nintendo…
Nintendo Zapper Laser
Remember the good old days of Duck Hunt on NES? Remember the Zapper? I didn’t have an NES, but one of my childhood friends did, and I will never forget the occasions we went to his house to play. Those were definitely good times.
But what if you can use the Zapper for an entirely different purpose? Say you had a Nintendo Zapper Laser – one that works?[Read More]
Louvre 3DS Audio Guide
Nintendo seems to get the appeal of the Louvre, and the company has decided to jump on this by creating an audio guide for the 3DS.[Read More]
Are you addicted to video games? As you lie in bed drifting off to sleep, do you see images or scenes of the latest video game that you have been playing? Do you try to figure out strategies that will work when you wake up and get to play again? (If you even stop playing to sleep, that is.)
If you’re that much into games (and probably even if you aren’t), you’ll be amused to see this fully functional urinal that was built from Nintendo games. It is real, and it works.
To be honest, I could have done without the colored liquid, but I guess they had to show that to prove that the contraption works.
Envious now? Don’t fret – you can make a urinal like this for yourself. All you need is tons of Nintendo games. Avid and long-time gamers will have no issues, but if you don’t have those old games, I am sure that you can find someone willing to give or sell them to you. Here’s a list of things you need:
Phew! I zoned out after the drill and drill bit, but this should not be much of challenge for you DIY-ers out there. For the rest of the instructions, visit Price Charting. ((Source: Price Charting))
In the meantime, good luck finding 40 Super Nintendo games!
Logos have been used forever to make brands stick. There is no denying that the use of logos work, hence the high premium placed on brilliant logo designers. Now, something we may not think about a lot is the fact that while some logos are brilliant and help make the brand name stick, these logos may not actually be an accurate reflection of what the brand stands for.
Then again, logos are made to show companies in the best light possible, so stark reality may not be the first priority. Am I confusing you? How about we take a look at honest portrayals of some of the most popular logos that we see on a daily basis today? These logos were designed by the guys at Designers Couch ((Designers Couch)). Let the images speak for themselves!
I only have one question: how many hours do you spend on Facebook everyday? I will not even dare to answer that for myself!
Facebook may be more accessible than the Sony PlayStation, but anyone who has this gaming console will know just how fast time can fly by when playing a game. It’s as honest as logos can get!
It’s still funny, but I am not sure “nothing to do” encompasses the concept of Nintendo. Then again, if I think about how people will get together on a boring night and end up playing Wii…could be wrong, though. What do you think?
It can also be McOverweight, McUnhealthy, or McDisgusting. Now you know why I am not a logo designer by profession.
Long known fact. We can substitute Camel for any other cigarette brand, but it would not look as good, would it? Plus, it hasn’t stopped people from smoking for hundreds of years. Will this honest logo make any difference? For my sake, I hope so.
Funnily honest logo, but I feel that I have to clarify. Absolut only equates to Vomit if you drink a bottle on your own, straight, in a short period of time. I would be more agreeable to a similar idea if it were Jose Cuervo = something. It’s too horrible to think about.
So are these logos honest enough for you?
