But, man, if I was four years old and saw this thing, it’d disturb me. And that’s just during the day. At night, it glows green and bellows smoke like a the very gates of hell.

Oh, and despite it’s horrific appearance, the “Game Over” Super Nintendo still works just fine.

Okay, let’s be realistic… your arse is most likely never getting close enough to Megan Fox for her to kick it, but in that bizarro dream world where you accidentally run into Megan alone and bored with a console and a Mortal Kombat game nearby, she would totally plant heel in your rear end, as What They Play discovered when they asked the actress which games she was badass at.

Anything Mortal Kombat. I have that down and I don’t cheat. That game just works well with my brain. The way my brain fires signals works well with how that game works. And I’m just really good.

So in that situation you’d be in for a beating, unless you somehow tricked her into confronting her own ironic Kryptonite.

The Mortal Kombat that just came out (Mortal Kombat vs DC Universe), I hated playing as Superman. His combos were so weird. I don’t know, I just thought it was lame.

Megan apparently began playing back on the Super Nintendo, where she mastered Disney’s Aladdin, which is an excellent choice of game names for a celebrity of drop. Nowadays, when she isn’t kicking arse or tending her garden in Viva Pinata, Fox spends her time trying to play with her Wii, but it’s hard.

I’m totally a fan of the Wii, I’m just not good at it. I actually have a Wii Fit and it’s actually a really hard workout. It’s pretty interesting. I think it’s amazing you can combine exercise and gaming. There really are games like Raving Rabbids and there are these little missions that you have to do where you run. You’re running with your arms but I swear to God I was so out of breath after every time I completed a mission. It really gets your cardio workout and it’s a video game, which sounds crazy. But I think that’s amazing. I hope we keep heading in that direction.

Just to take the wind out of you guys’ sails, we’ve already come up with every possible iteration of the Wii being hard for Megan Fox joke imaginable, so you couldn’t possibly impress us at this point.

The SNES is old enough that any hankering to play Super Mario World can be satisfied entirely by emulator. Still, here’s a USB hack that lets you plug old carts to a PC.

Hackaday reader Matthias rigged up this solution, which makes the cart show up on a PC as an external drive with the ROM file inside. From there, it’s playable on one’s choice of emulator.

Admittedly, the number of cases in which one has a working cart but no working console, and a working emulator but no working ROM, are probably quite low. But I remember Dad asking me what was the point – when free WiFi is so plentiful – of jailbreaking my iPhone and rigging it to serve as a dialup modem for my laptop. “Self esteem,” I said.

In other words, whatever this thing does for you isn’t important; the thing you made it do, however, is. Good work, Matthias.

Etsy is an excellent place to find video game themed crafts, but it doesn’t look like this seller put much work into the “Super Nintendo Necklace.” He’s hoping you won’t notice. You probably don’t.

The necklace costs US$25 seller, who maintains the classic Nintendo blog “The 72 Pin” handmade this from the following materials:

• Sisal
• Packaging Tape
• Paper Flower
• Fully functioning Super Nintendo

Bewbs are display only.

Not interested? Perhaps you would be interested in his GameBoy Advance necklace. $20. (Bottom) Again, Bewbs are not included, for display purposes only. (Of course they are.)

The 72 Pin’s Etsy shop is, clearly a front for used video game sales. How long it lasts, who knows.

The Nintendo toaster modder is back at it, deiivering a Super Nintoaster that is part of your nutritious breakfast, assuming you already serve nutritious breakfasts in your home.

Modder Vomitsaw (I went back to the original source on this, just so I could share that word with you) on the Ben Heck forums gets the credit-slash-blame for this one. It carries on the proud tradition of his original 8-bit Nintoaster.

On a personal site, Mr. Vomitsaw describes its construction.

Built from nothing more than a Super NES, a toaster, four different types of adhesives, magnets ripped from a broken hard drive, six orange LEDs, a bunch of resistors, plexiglass, and many many spare wires. Not too dissimilar from my previous toaster, only this time the temperature comtrol knob DOES serve a purpose! If for some reason you feel the need to adjust the brightness of the orange LEDs, now you can. I’ll admit though, it does seem to take issue with my copy of Super Mario World 2. The game seems to randomly glitch and ultimately freeze at certain points, then lose my saved game. It could be my copy of the game, the length of wire used to relocate the cartridge slot or a combination of the two. I’m not too concerned about it though because it was able to play every other game I tested in it flawlessly, including Super Metroid which I was able to play through from start to finish without issue.

Here’s a video showing its creation. You know what this inevitably means – the Mister Coffee N64.

Why? According to the seller, it features level 1-1 of Super Mario Bros.: The Lost Levels, five laps of the first track from Super Mario Kart and the home run derby from Ken Griffey Jr. Presents Major League Baseball. That’s practically a hundredth of a full game, right there!
