BIG Daddy

With Halloween right around the corner, I figured I would post some awesome ideas for costumes. This guy here killed the costume for Big Daddy's from the game Bioshock. Awesome Job.

Best Furniture Ever!

This right here is awesome! Taken from Kotaku

Slipping right under Namco Bandai's legal radar (until right now, we guess), Italian designer QAYOT has made this Pac-Man-like seat. Covered in a stain resistant coated fabric, the Pouf-Man doesn't eat pellets like its gaming counterpart but a square cushion. It's also not yellow. And that's what people think when they hear Pac-Man: Pellets and yellow. Well, that's what we always think. Always.

Pole Position: REMIX

Well I know one of the games I played growing up was Pole Position, I think on the Atari. I remember playing this for long periods of time as a kid with my father. Well they are releasing Pole Position: REMIX for the Iphone and should be on the App Store soon for $9.99. I should be picking my 3g up in about a week, so I will be buying this!

Peekaboo Prints!

The fourth installment of the I am 8-bit art is how honoring the golden age of gaming has come and gone but that doesn’t mean it’s completely game over. No sir – BeyondThePocket, Silent Stage Gallery and I am 8-bit have collaborated on a giclee print of PeekaBoo Monster’s Double Bubble Trouble Revisted painting featured in this year’s show. Limited to 25 signed and numbered pieces, the 8” x 8” giclee was printed with 400-year archival inks on museum textured archival 355 gsm heavy stock paper. They are available for sale for $45 (+$5 s/h) @ Beyond the Pocket.

I seen Peekaboo Post this last night, everything coming out of the 8-bit show is awesome. Info thanks to : Vinylpulse.

Little Big Planet.

Well I finally got my Beta code last night at like 3am. I only got to play around for an hour or two. So far the lvls that Media Molecule included on the Beta are awesome. I played a few of the user made lvls and some were awesome. I also tried to play online with 3 other people. For some reason this part of the Beta wasn't working out the best. I plan on sitting down tonight and trying my hand at the lvl editor. I will post on here with what I come up with. Thanks.

ALSO 1up.com is giving out codes the next 3 days for those who have not got in yet.

Getting Up Part 3.

Here is the last part of the Getting up Video.

Never play Mario Party with this guy!

I have had alot of fun the past few years getting friends together and playing mario party. But one thing I usually lose at is the button pressing games. Pressing A then B in rapid secession to blow something up and I usually fail. But this guy here is the KING of pressing the button A. Check it!

Munny Time!

Well awhile back my g/f painted me a picture of a Koala. So when I saw this I thought of her, plus its a really good custom. Its something I have not seen done before, which is tough with how many customs that come out every week. Please check this out and also visit his site for more pictures and info, thanks.


So tell me alittle about your self?
I get most of my inspirations from things that I love. I am a gamer, so most of my customs are video game related. I first started by customizing Stuffed Koalas. These were Star Wars based, because at the time I found a cool Slurpee Lid I wanted to use for something, and so I made my Darth Vader Koala. After the Koalas I caught the customizing fever. I next went to customizing LEGO Minifigures. The majority of my LEGO customs were Legend of Zelda Customs. There was a break in my customs for about a year. I had to live in Hawaii (poor me :P) for work for 11 months, and I didn't have a lot of access to my supplies. When I got back, I fell into the vinyl scene.

When did you first learn about Munny's?
I learned of Munnys about 2 years ago when I was in Hawaii. I loved the simple shape, and I could see these being made into a bunch of different things. I had to have one.

Is this your First and what was the inspiration, tell me alittle about it?
My first Munny was actually my piranha plant Munny, which you can see here The Koala is actually the mascot for my website http://www.kodykoala.com./ I wanted to dress him up for Halloween, so I guess that was my inspiration.

What type of paint, markers, ect. did you use?
I pretty much use the cheap acrylic paints from WalMart. I mix them to get the desired colors. I also use automotive clear coats on the finished products to keep them looking good.

Are your customs for sale and do you take commissions?
I have actually been toying with the idea of selling my customs, but currently they are for my personal collection. I don't feel that they are good enough to sell. All my work up until now is me practicing and trying to find my style.

Is there a website or contact info for you?

Little Big Planet beta!

So reason main reason I have not been posting the past 2-3 days is I have been on a search for a beta code for Little Big Planet. Seems like there are a few sites that will be giving them out yet. Last night Gamespot released theirs, I have yet to recieve an email. But sites like IGN.com and 1up.com are still supposed to release codes. I have had my ps3 since launch and for me this is the only game that can save the system. I can't wait to see what kind of crazy creative lvls I can build. If anyone out there has a second working beta code, send it my way and I will hook you up with some free stuff.

TREEPLE!

Check out the video for Alex Pardee's Treeple. I watched this a few days back and wanted to post it I have just been busy.
