Farbs is a game developer that used to work for 2K Australia.  He decided to quit in order to work on my indie video games.  But before he did that he decided to resign the position by submitting a video game called A Message For 2K Australia.  The game is based on Flash and you can give it a shot at his website.

In 1988 when Bill O’Reilly was about 39 years old, Inside Edition did a special on the Super Mario Brothers for the Nintendo Entertainment System. Enjoy the video, you’ll get a kick out of the hair styles and the call center where they give level tips. Bill O’Reilly still looks like the same disgruntled guy he looks like today. WE’LL DO IT LIVE!

The video also features Howard Phillips who was “Fun Club President” at the time. I wrote about Phillips last month when he joined Chair Entertainment. Phillips is wearing his signature bow tie in the video which was the inspiration behind the Howard & Nester comic.

Matthew Dominick came up with this clever mash-up of Super Mario Brothers 3 and the real world. He used the whistle superpower to transport Mario into the city of Chicago in the video. Once arriving in Chicago, Mario runs from cars, finds a raccoon suit, and shoots fire at a guy throwing fire balls at him out of a recycle bin. This is very well done, I recommend taking 3 minutes and 11 seconds to watch it. Watch what happens to Mario at the burger place towards the end of the video.

TechEBlog has found out there is a Japanese gamer and model named Haruna Anno that loves Mario so much that she could play it and beat the level without even looking. If you’re a male gamer, this should be your kind of woman. Basically she is able to play and not look at the screen by listening to the music and playing by ear. Check out the video above.

When Mario touches a star in the video game, he suddenly becomes superhuman and get destroy everything in his path.  You should get this same feeling when you slip on these Mario star cufflinks.  The cufflinks are handmade using plymer clay.  The cuff links are available for $24 at The Clay Collection.
