NES Music Video

Hello out there blogosphere. Been quite busy at work lately so although I have managed to squeeze in a LITTLE gaming here and there I haven't had time to do much posting about it. And by much I mean any whatsoever. But I have a nice quickie one today to get back in the swing of things.

Sebastian Bender, the guy who made the Game Boy music video that I posted about a while back has made another one over at his site Gnarl-o-Rama. His musical instrument of choice this time is an NES. He's blowing on cartridges. He's clicking zappers. He's rubbing the case ridges like a hillbilly on a washbboard. He's doing it all!

And you know how you always wondered if a copy of Super Mario 3 could be used as a kazoo? Yes. Yes it can.

So if you liked the first one then check out the new one below. Reminds me of the Rockit music video by Herbie Hancock sans synthesizer. I know - I'm old.

NES Coffee Table

It's fairly rare when I have a particularly kind word for the NES and its legions of fanboys, but thanks to Destructoid today I saw this full-size coffee table shaped like an NES and I thought it was pretty cool.

It has large compartments for storage - including a flip-open cartridge slot and a sliding drawer in the back, it has a working LED light that comes on when you hit the power button, and has 2 power outlets where the gamepad plugs are normally located. The guy did a really good job on it. He built 3 - one for himself, one for some art exhibit, and one that he's trying to sell to you on eBay HERE with a starting bid of $700 (no bidders as of yet). Check it out.
