Power Mitt Oven Glove: Now You’re Cooking with Fingers

Last year we saw a fabric oven mitt that looked just like Nintendo’s infamous Power Glove. Pete Hottelet is raising funds on Indiegogo for a very similar product. Also named the Power Mitt, Pete’s take is made of silicone rubber and thus should be more heat-resistant than the other mitt.

As you can see, Pete’s glove also has separate sheaths for each finger making it look more like the original Power Glove.

For now, Pete is only offering right-handed gloves for average-sized hands. He said that if he gets over 1,000 orders through the fundraiser he’ll get a mold for a larger glove, and if he gets over 1,500 orders he’ll make a left-handed glove.

To the privileged right-handed people with perfectly sized hands: let’s help our mutated brethren adorn their weird limbs with a power glove. Pledge at least $39 (USD) on Indiegogo to get a Power Mitt as a reward and combat handedness prejudice.

NES Game Digital Papercraft: Super Paper Nintendo

I have always been rather particular about the video games I played. Back in the day, I preferred games with shooting and skipped a lot of the popular titles out there. That means that I never played some of these classic NES games that have now been turned into unique artworks.

I recognize Contra, Zelda, and Metroid, but some of the others I am not familiar with. An artist named Steph Caskenette created these digital papercraft works. That is a rather strange medium, when you think of it – a digital version of an analog art medium based on digital games.

I would like to see these games actually be made in this form. I would totally play Papercraft Contra. You can also buy prints of them all over on Red Bubble.

This Is the Power Glove Oven Mitt You Want To Buy

This Is the Power Glove Oven Mitt You Want To Buy

About a year ago we brought news of a Power Glove themed oven mitt that had anyone who grew up playing the NES excited to do some baking. But that version was made of heatproof fabric and while it looked convincing enough, it can’t hold a candle—or a hot tray of cookies—to this amazingly detailed silicone Power Glove oven mitt.

Mario Kart 8 Will Not Be Shipping Early, According To Nintendo

Mario Kart 8 Will Not Be Shipping Early, According To NintendoMany gamers are probably looking forward to playing Mario Kart 8 on the Wii U or the 3DS and the game has been pegged for a release on the 30th of May, meaning that we have a little over two months to go before we are able to play the game. However according to Amazon’s website, they have listed the game as shipping in 2-4 weeks which would definitely see the game released earlier than expected.

One forum user on NeoGAF decided to confirm with Amazon to see if it was true, and through an online chat with an Amazon rep, Amazon apparently confirmed that the game would indeed ship in 2-4 weeks. Now before you get too excited, Nintendo has since refuted those claims and stated that the game will not be shipping early. (more…)
