As you may or may not know/care, I’ve been gone for a long time. Life without Internet is a terrible thing. However, rather than doing something more productive with my time, I decided to spend my Internet-less day(s) delving into shitty artwork – I vandalized my backyard with chalk. Ladies and gentlemen, this is my Mario mural in Silicon Valley, California. You can click on the pictures for higher resolutions.

To honor my great piece of work, I’ve decided to post it alongside other forms of video game vandalism. Please enjoy them after the break. (more…)

Say "CHEEEEESE"

SAN RAFAEL, CA, May 5, 2009 – Telltale and Aardman are announcing the release of The Last Resort, the latest of four monthly Wallace & Gromit games that open up the world of West Wallaby Street like never before. “The Last Resort” is available today for PC from www.telltalegames.com as part of the Wallace & Gromit’s Grand Adventures series. The games will also be coming soon to Xbox LIVE® Arcade.

Telltale’s Wallace & Gromit games are like interactive films, with humorous storylines and creative characters conceived in collaboration with Aardman’s award-winning team. In the new episode, Wallace and Gromit’s Blackpool holiday is rained out, so the enterprising inventor and his clever dog bring the beach to their basement with the construction of West Wallaby Waterworld, a makeshift resort complete with sun, sand, and Wallace’s homemade boardwalk attractions. Keeping their guests satisfied turns out to be tricky business, particularly after one is thumped on the head by an unknown assailant. Everyone is a suspect! Now Wallace and Gromit must work together to finger the culprit, with a little help from Wallace’s latest invention: the Deductomatic.

You guys seemed to really enjoyed the first set of art, so I figured it’d be best to hit you guys with another one. Because the majority of these pictures were submitted by our readers, not all sources are available on this set. High-resolution desktop wallpapers at the end!

Such a lovable character. He adds more fun that UP already looks like it’s going to be.

Relax guys, it’s a foam model.

Mouse Vomit gives us a mouse inspired by the original Nintendo controller. Coming up, eyeglasses inspired by the Virtual Boy Headset.

Lego iMac Jr. is crazy cute

I’m not one of those guys who normally goes all mushy over cute stuff but this adorable creation by Bjarne Tveskovs, really hit the spot for me. If I had some spare cash and time I’d definately try something like this. Check out the gallery after the break for more adorableness, and of course jet over to Tveskovs blog for more goodness.

My favorite is probably “Super Mario World” by Mike Mitchell, solely because Yoshi is wearing a pair of Air Force Ones. What about you?

If your dreams get a bit too graphic, cuddle close with a new Adobe pillow. With a full set, you’ll never have to rasterbate alone again.

A 2k Austrailia Game dev decided to move on with his life. But before doing so, he made the above game to let people know… “I QUIT!” To play, use the arrow keys to move around and the spacebar to jump. Please note that if you are prone to epilipsy, you might not want to play this game. More after the break.

Homepage and childpage takeovers are nothing new in the web design ad agency industry.  But the agency, Wieden + Kennedy from Amsterdam, takes traditional takeovers to a new level. Thanks in part to Vimeo’s cooperation with the idea, Honda’s new hybrid commercial leaps off of the usual flash video player box, and completely takes over the whole page. Check it out:
