So, when's a gay couple going to do something like this?

A few days ago, Kotaku.com posted an article about a straight couple that decided to get hitched in Hyrulian fashion.

Yep, that means every aspect of the couple's "big day" brought to mind The Legend of Zelda--including the invitations, the processional music, the wedding party gifts and even the cake.

Here's a little video that shows all of the above and more:



That's cute and all, but when's a gay (or lesbian) couple going to do something like this?

I think I just found my next gaming-related t-shirt

Sprites give me a major boner, so when I came across the following image earlier today--over at The Bits, Bytes, Pixels and Sprites--I pitched a tent that would make a seasoned porn star blush. (OK, that's probably a bit more than you wanted or needed to know. Sorry about that.)


After I composed myself, I read the text below the image--and discovered that it's a t-shirt design! Go here to order one for yourself or for someone you love. (I think I'm going to get this one.)

Miley Cyrus + chip music = my current guilty pleasure

Full disclosure: I kind of like Miley Cyrus' "Party In the U.S.A." I'm also quite fond of chip music, so it should be of little surprise to hear that I'm head over heels for Luke Silas' (drummer for the chiptune punk band, Anamanaguchi) recent take on the chart-topping tune:



The video above was shot during the three-day Blip Fest 2009, held in New York City last month. For more on the event (and Anamanaguchi), head on over to tinycartridge.com.

And the survey says ...

About a month ago, I added a survey to this blog--in an attempt to make it a bit more interactive. To my surprise, 11 of you took the time to share your thoughts. Here are the results:



I'll post a new survey shortly. Thanks in advance for sharing your thoughts!

'My friend made an electric guitar that looks like a Koopa Troopa'

I don't know how to play the guitar, but if I did I'd surely be salivating over this homemade gadget:



The headline and photo above were posted in the gaming section of reddit.com yesterday, by the way. (Go here for more images and information.)

I have to say I agree with the person who posted (on reddit.com, of course) the following comment: "Every guitar I see from now on is going to look shitty because it's not a Koopa Troopa ... [and] every turtle I see is going to look shitty for not being a guitar."
