Zelda Handbag/Purse

Zelda Purse

If I were to ever consider getting a handbag I would have to get this one by Disturbingly Adorable on Etsy. It’s made of fabric with screen grabs from Zelda: A Link to the Past printed on it and it’s amazing!

it’s a shame that the inside is plain green fabric. I would have loved it to be invertible with the inside showing the dark world version of the outside.

It’s still really cool though and can be yours for $34.99 (£23.57) + p&p.

The same seller also does a Pac-Man variant of the same design as shown below, I’m torn…

Um… She also sells Zelda themed underpants with Navi saying “HEY” I’m not sure I approve… In fact I’m sure I don’t approve…

Pipe Cleaner Okami Sculpture

Made entirely out of pipe cleaners by ~afiriti on deviantART this is quite cool, there are a number of other pipe cleaner wolves on their deviant art page, it’s like their whole life has been leading up to this moment. Where will they go from here?

GeoGuessr: Explore the World

GeoguesserGeoGuessr is a fun little game where you get shown a random Google Street View image and have to guess where in the world it is, you get given a score for how far away your guess is and after 5 locations you are given a final score.

It’s slightly addictive and I’ve discovered that I’m very bad at recognising places in Australia.

Playing on the Fake Geek Girl trend this Dorkly Comic has a Metroid mocking Samus for not being a real bounty hunter because she’s a girl.

Pokemon Magic the Gathering Cards

Lx4SliK
Lets forget for a moment that there is already a Pokemon Card game, Reddit user cameronc65 uploaded this set of Pokemon Magic the Gathering Cards that his cousin has been working on. It’s pretty cool, not particularly balanced but cool none the less.

But wait there’s more! In the comments another Redditor (teenelmo26) also shared his set of Pokemon Magic the Gathering cards. There’s three generations of the damn things!

What’s pretty cool about this set is that he’s put in the trainers too. Although I would have treated the trainers as analogous to Planeswalkers  rather than as creatures.

You can see them all (Or at least most of them I may have cocked up the WordPress Gallery while writing this post so some of them might not be there) after the break.

Custom Fallout Board Game Based On Monopoly

This thing is a labour of love, Reddit user XsimonbelmontX made this amazing looking Fallout themed board game out of a Monopoly board for his wife pookiemccool.

Apparently it’s only based on Monopoly but the rules are different. I love the use of bottle caps for money, it looks like he’s added perks that will alter the game play, and from them you can infer that there is some kind of combat mechanic?

I’ve asked him for the rules on the thread and I’ll update this if he posts them. Hopefully he’s deviated away from Monopoly enough to make the game actually fun to play.

You Have 16 or so Hours to Save a Ton of Money On Some Awesome Games

GOG (Good Old Games) are running an 80% off promo on their D&D games and it ends in 16 hours and and a half hours.

I just picked up the following games for just over £14

It’s worth if just for Planescape Torment, which if you’ve not been paying attention is getting an unofficial sequel by the original creators thanks to a ridiculously successful Kickstarter campaign.

Competition To Create Games For Cats

Cat food Manufacturer Purina are running a hackathon to create games for cats the top prize is $15k with $3k and $2k runner up prizes.

I’ve had mixed success getting my cat to play with my iPad I’ve downloaded Game for Cats but my cats seem to not be very interested in it, I think because the mouse/laser pointer thing they chase leaves the screen just as they start to get interested in it, my cats invariably end up trying to look under the iPad for it.

The developers of the afore mentioned game have provided advice to other developers who want to make their own games for cats over at Gamustura if you want to participate.

Here is a short video of Game for Cats in action:

4 Chan Are Working on a Pokemon Game

So according to Reddit the people on /vp/ on 4Chan are working on a Pokemon clone with all new monsters, some of those puns are amazing, I particularly like Thoraxe.

Thorax 0

They have their own forum separate from 4Chan and a Wiki too.

I can’t check the link out at the moment but several people on Reddit have tried out the demo and it apparently looks pretty good.

Downloader beware though I have no idea what is in the exe file.

Pixel Noir Concept Teaser

What is it with retro studios putting the word Pixel before everything in the names of their games? Pixel Noir looks conceptually like a really cool game, all have to go on is the teaser trailer above though.

It’s well worth a watch. And if I’m not mistaken the people making it have named themselves after Cyan from Final Fantasy VII’s signature SWD Tech.

SWDTech Games presents “Pixel Noir” a new take on classic JRPGs giving iOS & Android audiences a unique perspective on classic film noir action, as seen through a 16-bit lens.
