Mario and Luigi parkour

As a gamer, one of the games I played most, and I still play is Nintendo's little star: Mario. Who does not love Mario? After seeing the Assasins Creed parkour, I saw this awesome parkour video of Mario and Luigi, which looks like a 3-D real life gameplay. Not to mention a kick-ass metal version of the original Mario soundtrack (which you can download here), cool special effects and good cosplays.

It is just awesome, however I must say, next time they do this I hope they glue their hat on, cause I was just disturbed by all does hat's falling. 

The parkourers are: Luigi (Ronnie Shalvis) and Mario (Christian Russell).

This video was uploaded by Youtube user Warialasky, where they have some other cool stuff related to videogames like Skyrim trailer and this real tetris trailer. Check them on Facebook or Twitter.

Mario polymer earrings

Probably you have seen this image of piranha plant earrings by 9gag or other website:

 If you are wondering where to get these beauties, the original etsy shop was Ligglizz Shop, where you can find the earrings for $35 + shipping costs. In this shop you can find more geeky polymer clay. For example:

However you can find more geeky jewelry made of polymer clay in Etsy. Could bee yours for example, where you can find a piranha and chain chomp earrings combo. Here it costs $34 + shipping. In this shop you can find  more Star wars and other geek inspired earrings.

If you do not want to spent that money on the earrings or you just prefer to make things your own (like I do) you could try to do them yourself. For that youtuber and geek crafter NerdECrafter has created some tutorials for both the piranha and the chompers.

Probably this will be one of my next crafts, and definitely will post pics here.

Geek Furniture: Donkey Kong Shelves

Some weeks before I posted about the Space Invader Sofa, well looking at more of Igor Chak's designs I saw this awesome Donkey Kong shelves.

You probably recognize the screenshot and the shelves. But for those who don't here is a more bigger picture of the original inspiration:

As you can see it is pretty accurate with the design, it even has the angles of the shelves in pixels, which I think it is so cool. 


The designer, referring to these shelves, says in his official blog:

"The wall is made out of individual sections; each section is made out of durable but light carbon fiber, anodized aluminum pixels that are joined with strong stainless steel rods and toughened glass tops. The special mounts themselves are made out of steel and can support up to 60lbs"
The thing is, that this shelves are not really for sale is just a design, so we are left only with the dream to have these unique piece of furniture at home. However, creative geeks are all over the globe, and they brought us these awesome and real shelves:

The perfect backpack for a geek: Design #1

I just got the perfect the present for my birthday: a Uanyi backpack, the coolest thing ever for a retro gamer or just someone who wants to be original. You can choose between different models and colours, I got the backpack cause is the one I use the most, but there are plenty of things you can choose from, and prices vary from 50 to 80€. You get up to 240 pixels free, and you can start doing your designs as soon as you get the backpack (which was about 5 days for me). The thing is that for more complicated designs you should buy the colours separate cause you dont get much with the first bunch of pixels, so I try to improvise. I try to do a design each working day, cause I was challenged by my co-workers so here I go.

This is my first design: Luigi
