Video Game Pulp Novel Covers

Reading is awesome. I especially love when artists pull together 2 things that I love, reading and pop culture. These following video games have been transformed into pulp covers, gorgeous enough that not only do I want to read them, but I'd also like to have them framed and on my wall.

Ástor Alexander is the artist of these 4 amazing classic covers

 

The Metroid one is my favorite! I'd really like to have it framed on my wall. It took me a bit of searching, but I managed to find his Society 6 page where you can purchase them! (well, the Nintendo ones anyway)

These next few are pretty fun as well. Shutterstock got the idea to make these fun romance covers and asked Echo Chernik to use their stock footage as a reference to create these delightful re-imagined romances

The Pac-man one cracks me up and I absolutely ship Ryu & Ken. I didn't realize that anyone could ever make me feel sorry for that  damned Duck Hunt dog, but I stand corrected.

Geek Stress Relief

Life is hard sometimes

and busy

Sometimes we get so wrapped up in life that we forget to slow down and relax. 

You know what I like to do when I'm stressed out? 

Pop bubble wrap

You thought I was going to say something like watch Star Wars or read comics, didn't you? 

As much as I do find those things help, some times I need something more physical to release the stress. Bubble wrap does just that.

I imagine that's how Link feels.

One minute you're just hanging out in your normal county life, doing normal country things, the next, an old man is shoving a sword at you telling you that you need to go find some princess with a weird name. Oh, but to find her, you have to travel across the country, fight monsters, solve crazy puzzles, learn an instrument and kill a giant pig man monster. But don't fret, take this annoyingly chatty fairy with you. She can't fight, but she will nag you the whole time.

It's enough to make anyone go crazy. But Link found a way to make the best of it. He found his own Hyrulian bubble wrap; breaking pots.

Yes, Link is a menace to anything pot like.

Lindsay Sterling, of geek girl music fame, shows us just how fun and stress relieving it can be

Although, not everyone feels the same about it.

If you need some stress relief and don't feel like being banned from pot shops, check out this awesome bubble wrap game.

Video Game Raps

I've featured geeky raps on here before, but these ones by hiimrawn are just crazy! The costumes are great, they lyrics are surprisingly clever and I can't seem to get them out of my head.

Here is "I'm Questing,"my personal favorite. The cameos by Navi and Sheik are my favorites. This Navi puts that other one to shame!

Next is the "Pokemon Gangster Rap" with awesome cameos by Misty and Brock. I also really like the Pikachu Robe for some odd reason.

Lastly, here is "Do The Mario" I love Luigi, Toad and Yoshi in this. It puts Mario in a whole new light.

Thanks to Geekologie for his love of crazy, geek rap!

More Bad Geeky Dances!

Because I know how much you all enjoyed The Star Wars Disco Dance, I figured that maybe you might like to see some more random people in costumes dancing stangely :)

I didn't know before now that Link was a girl. Or that Gannon was really just an oversized Gamorrean Guard!

If that wasn't quite strange enough for your taste, perhaps a Predator Dance Sequence will do!

And before you ask, yes, that IS Danny Glover in the video!

What do you mean you didn't watch it for that long? Go back and see for yourself!

Aren't those Predator's cute! They have such cute funny mouths and I LOVE the sound they make <3

Look at that face! He's just asking for snuggles!

(I always bet on them when they're up against those ugly alien bastards!)

Anyway, what ever you look like or choose to wear, get out there and dance!
