Posted in: Today's Chili

Now that everyone is playing Bioshock Infinite, it’s a good time to buy some interesting Bioshock collectibles – like this rare, functional BioShock audio diary that is currently for sale on eBay.

According to gameshirts702, the seller, there are only four of these in existence. All were created as part of a viral marketing campaign for the release of BioShock 2. You can see this rarity in action in the video clip below:

Why would the seller ever part with something as cool as this? He has hit some hard times financially and hopes that this sale will help. The auction is up to $2,600(USD) as of this writing and I’m sure it will go higher. It’s a super nice piece of video gaming history. Get your bid in before March 31st when it ends.

Mini Lego Reel-to-Reel Tape Deck: You’re Going to Need Some Really Tiny Tape

Posted in: Today's Chili

I’m always amazed how LEGO builders can come up with accurate representations of items using just a handful of bricks. It’s sort of like low-res pixel art – if you stand back far enough, it makes sense. One of my recent favorite minimal LEGO builds has to be this tiny tape deck by customBRICKS (who also has an awesome LEGO Battleship game on their home page.)

This miniature reel-to-reel tape deck is too small to actually record anything, and I can’t tell you if it’s a 2-track or a 4-track, but that doesn’t make it any less perfect. I’d love to see a whole miniature recording studio done the same way. In the mean time, I’m enjoying they’re other recent creation – a little LEGO movie projector…
