Donald Kennedy put his custom toy building talents to good use creating this concept Mario Mech which is made from a vinyl figure and a Mario keychain. He eventually plans to build Mechs for a variety of characters in Marioland so they can wreak havoc with giant versions of themselves. However, Mario’s not going to earn any intimidation points if these things are built to scale. At this rate, it looks like him and his Mech will only be the size of your average human.

Remember that instant beach ball I posted the other day? Well, this 10-foot version is waaaaaaay on the other end of the spectrum. When deflated, it’s not going to fit in any portable can—unless you consider rolling an oil drum down the street “portable.” It’s also the kind of thing you are going to need an air compressor for. Hell, fill it up with helium and you might be able to get airborne.
Recipe for a unique USB hub: 4 USB ports, 3 LEDs, 1 cup of gas station quality crystal art, 2 cups of arcade style claw game prizes, 1/2 cup of mail order Americana sculptures, sprinkled liberally with “…whatever” and voilà! The USB 4 Port Hub with Crystal Hawk LED Light.

If you have to ask why, you aren’t a big enough nerd. It’s a lot of work for something that’s relatively pointless, but I have to admit—having a really tiny arcade machine would be pretty cool. Check out the video above to learn how to make one yourself. If you can move at superhuman speeds, the entire build would take less than 2 minutes! If you’re lazy, you could always just bid on a finished product for sale on eBay.

Strap yourself in and feel the G’s that come from playing video games, eating and channel surfing in Alexander Christoff’s Formula One chair. The seat is made from molded fiberglass and features chrome legs and an upholstered adjustable headrest to create the ultimate F1/seat hybrid. However, at this point the chair is only a concept, so for the time being you’ll have to put your dreams of racing the Grand Prix to obesity on hold.

If you’re going to binge on whiskey, why not put the source of your drinking on the shot glass itself? All those hours spent playing ancient Atari games without a shred of progress kicking Asteroid ass could drive anyone to drink.

In an effort to pull the Rubik’s Cube out of the 1980s, designers have produced the new Rubik’s Slide, which will cost about $40, and should be available later this year. The Slide differs from its retro counterpart by using 9 illuminated squares that must be manipulated to match a pre-determined pattern while employing over 10,000 puzzles of varying difficulty. What better way to introduce mind boggling frustration to a new generation of potential cube enthusiasts?
No matter how much you try and dress it up like a game, A calculator is still a calculator and math is still math. Of course, I still add and subtract with my fingers so I could only play 2-player games on something like this and let my buddy do all the work.
