Hasta La Gadget!

We know while you’re in the middle of celebrating your new marriage to your significant other, the last thing that should be on your mind is how you can get a quick game of Donkey Kong in during the festivities. Well, Posh Entertainment has come up with a way for you to be able to play Donkey Kong on your wedding cake as they use a 3-D mapped projector to display the game on the cake. (more…)

Now that it’s after Thanksgiving, it’s officially okay to talk about Christmas, and put up the tree. But even if you picked out a festive blue spruce, do you know how you’re going to decorate it? Well, you could put some ordinary department store ornaments on it, or you could go full on geek.

This set of Donkey Kong themed ornaments ($60) comes from Etsy artist LighterCases, and it includes everything you need to recreate the classic Nintendo arcade game on your Christmas tree. The set of 12 pieces includes girders, ladders, barrels, Jumpman and his Princess. To top things off, it comes with a Donkey Kong tree topper. Each piece is made from melted Perler beads to form the pixels.

If you’re not into Donkey Kong, their shop has got lots of other fun holiday ornament sets, including Super Mario Bros., Excitebike, Zelda, Tetris, Mega Man, and even some South Park themed sets among others.

If you have a LEGO town set up in your home, chances are it needs an arcade. A town without an arcade is just… well, sad. Luckily for you there are these Lego City Arcade Machines.

This custom set of LEGO arcade games comes from Etsy seller TinyBricks and will cost you $69.99(USD).

You get six custom-built classics: TRON, Pole Position, Donkey Kong, Superman, Super Mario Bros. and of course Pac-Man. And as a special bonus, you also get a 1980′s Punk Rocker Minifig. Someone has to play these mini machines after all.

They measure about 2.1” x 1.25”. Either have your own LEGO arcade or mix them with your other LEGO sets. Maybe you wanted to see an arcade inside of Hogwarts. Or maybe you feel that Jabba’s palace was in need of a TRON machine. The possibilities are endless.

They look so cute and hungry for tiny quarters.

If you drew a Venn diagram of gamers and coffee drinkers, I think you’d find there’s a pretty large intersection between the two groups. So what better way to store your coffee machine pods but in a game of Donkey Kong?

Capsulekong is a wall-mountable storage solution for Nespresso drink pods, and was inspired by the classic 1980s video game. But this time, instead of barrels, Kong is rolling coffee pods at Jumpman as he tries to rescue Pauline at the top of the girders. As you load it up, the pods roll downhill – and every time you remove one, the whole thing sorta snakes down towards Jumpman.

As an added bonus, this thing doesn’t look cheap. In fact, it’s made from anodized aluminum, and looks awesome. It holds exactly 50 drink pods when full, and can even hold the double-barrel shots. However, it won’t hold any flaming ones. If you’re wondering if Capsulekong will fit on your wall, it measures about 17.3″ high x 14.2″ wide x .31″ deep.

So put on your red overalls, get out your mallet and start pounding your way over to Hologramer to pick up your Capsulekong for $170(USD) today. Yes, I know that it doesn’t work with other brands of coffee pods, but I don’t care. This is enough reason for me to toss out my Tassimo and pick up a Nespresso machine instead.

M.C. Escher’s art is pretty mindblowing. It always featured impossible staircases that go up or down forever depending on how your eyes see it. Donkey Kong is pretty amazing too, but for entirely different reasons that only a video game nerd can appreciate.

Put them both together and you have yourself an amazing and crazy game where the barrels can roll up and down to infinity and Jumpman will never get the girl. Well, that’s not exactly what happens here, but it is still pretty amazing to watch.

Artist Chris Carlson replicated Escher’s staircase and combined it with Donkey Kong. And even though we don’t get a full animated level, this art is amazing and makes you appreciate Escher all the more as you watch the barrel do the impossible.
