Over the past year we've posted our fair share of do it yourself projects. If you had done all of them you'd have a media center PC, a cheap headphone stand, and an iPhone document scanner just to n...
Like very boy growing up in the 80's, one of our most vivid dreams was to own our very own home arcade like that spoiled brat Ricky Stratton on Silver Spoons. Although arcade gaming has faded away wit...
Kelly, who lives in Gurnee, Illinois, has quite the living room. Not only does she have an xBox and a Wii, but she's got an old school, coin-operated, Donkey Kong arcade system! What we love about Ke...
Time to clean out the attic! If you pack rats can get your hands on the boxes you packed, sealed and labeled with "GAME CARTRIDGES" back in 1994, you'll be happy to know that you can now play all of y...
We've all done it. Wasted time on a calculator when we should be studying. I remember whole classes spent on the little minesweeper game I had on my HP 48. We guess that Mark spent part of his time in...
Having the willpower to exercise is not always easy, otherwise everybody would be perfectly toned and tight and Krispy Kreme doughnuts would sell through the roof. But playing video games? Well any ha...
Most households had a SNES. In fact mine had an NES, SNES, N64 and GameCube one after the other. The Nintendo brand is ubiquitous with gaming. It's no wonder with all the Wii craze that people have st...
Inspiration comes from everywhere. Nature, travels, books, sumo wrestlers. What? Yes, Sumo wrestlers. The Wii is clearly a success for all age groups, young and old, and it is all because anyone can w...
We still mourn the death of the arcade...as much as we love our consoles, there was something magical about strolling up to that cabinet to play game du jour, whether it was SF2, Rampart, or Ring King...
Classic arcade console games are the perfect addition to a basement playroom or bachelor pad. But what about those of us who love a round of pinball but don't have the space for a full-on pinball mach...
This is right up Unplggd's alley: We love playing Guitar Hero and Rock Band. But being Apartment Therapy fans, we have to have some solution for storing all of those massive components—because y...
Carcade is a concept created by three students at Berlin University of the Arts for an in-car videogame which captures the passing landscape, like trees and buildings, and creates a game stage based o...
Remember that rumor we speculated a few days back? Well, it looks like it's coming true, and not a day too soon. The new DSi will feature a 3MP dual camera, built in memory with SD card expansion, dou...
At first glance, this seating arrangement seems kind of odd until you realize what you are looking at. Pouf-Man is QAYOT's homage to one of the stars of arcade videogames, back when people actually we...
This media server is a concept unveiled from Toshiba at CEATEC 2008. It's supposed to show how a cellphone, this media server and a TV (with wireless HD) could interact in the near future. We're just ...
There are lots of places to place a flat screen when you're willing to look to your walls for support. Jonathan Craddock and his wife decided the empty spot above their fireplace was the best place f...
It looks like Nintendo's done updating just color schemes on their ridiculously popular Nintendo DS Lite system - instead, expect an on-board camera, better WiFi, and music playback to be just a few o...
As much as we liked our Wii and Xbox 360 (which we both sold to purchase a new Nikon D90...priorities), there was something missing from the newfangled games that couldn't compare to the halcyon days ...
Sparkfun is known for modding retro gadgets with new school tech -- their rotary phone that accepts cell phone SIM cards was just one of those ideas. Now the company has made a coffee table that lets...

The Nintendo Wii has been an absolute success due to the fact that pretty much anyone can walk into a room and play. From young children to senior citizens it seems to have something for everyon...
Our hearts go out to those affected by hurricane Ike. When will this gusty season end? Ok, Debbie Downer moment over. On a lighter note, we had a great week of posts (both old and new) making the t...
It's just a router. Nothing special. It takes your internet by ethernet and makes a wireless signal that your laptop or—gasp—your Wii can connect to from anywhere in your house. That Wii c...
It doesn't look like Sony has figured it out. At least not in the North American market. While the product has performed extremely well in Japan, the sales in America have been somewhat of a letdown. ...
This one comes from Xbox 360 Fanboy: We've heard about the price cuts that are supposed to be coming out around the holidays concerning the Xbox 360. Specifically, that Microsoft is going to be relea...
