MillenniYUM Falcon

The Millennium Falcon never looked so delectable.

This chocolate, and many more, were made by chocolatier André Murrai.

Forget a box of Belgian seashells for Valentine's Day, I want a box of these next year!

DIY Sonic 4 Episode ii Genesis cart, case and manual

Barry the Nomad over at The Nomad Junkyard has recently posed a quick-and-easy how-to guide on creating a Sonic the Hedgehog 4: Episode ii Genesis cartridge and case label, along with a full printed manual. This project can be added to his previous how-to guides on creating the same for Sonic the Hedgehog 4: Episode i and Sonic Generations.

I'm really into fan-made Genesis and Mega Drive game cases and reproduction carts and am really impressed with Barry's latest offering. It comes just in time for Sonic 4 Episode II's imminent release; a release I'm personally very excited about.

 While I haven't bit the bullet and attempted to create something like this myself, I do have a few old Sports games and dead cartridges that may be worth dismantling in order to create something fresh and new. Are any of you readers owners of any well made retro carts? Or perhaps you've made a customer game case yourself? I'd love to hear about it, so please leave a comment below!

Super Mario Bros. to be Recreated in LEGO

LEGO artist Zachary Pollock is looking to recreate the entire Super Mario Bros level 1-1 in LEGO.

The first of 60 boards.

He is asking fans to make this dream come true and help him fund this project. Pollock is using Kickstarter to raise $26,400 to pay for bricks, as well as materials for mounting the bricks on.

The project has two main goals, to inspire a new generation of LEGO fans, as well as to help test the waters for a LEGO based healing art project working with children.

Once the project has been completed it will be taking a 12 month tour to exhibitions such as Bricks Cascade in Portland and the BrickCon Expo in Seatle, as well as to  conventions such as PAX and Comic Con.

Master System Sofa

Over at GameBlog.fr they recently posted about this cool Master System Sofa (and what appears to be a NES bed). Unfortunately my French is non-existent so I don't really know what is being said about it, but I think the pictures say enough!

If I had the skills (and the time) I would love to make something like this. Perhaps a GameBoy throw with matching cartridge cushions.
