Mar 31 2008Eye Candy: Video Games In The Real World
Some guy named Mike (aka Pixel Fantasy on Flickr) took some random pictures off the web and inserted video game sprites in them to ramp up the cool factor. As you can see that's some Pitfall action there in that picture. Make sure to hit the jump for a ton more, including Zelda, Donkey Kong, Mario Kart and *gasp* Blaster Master! Now I know this is the opposite of the pictures, but how cool would it be if you could actually enter your favorite video game and interact with the characters and surroundings as yourself? Shit I'm high. Gosh I really wish that was possible. That would be the freaking awesomest thing EVER! I'd totally enter Zelda. *snickers*
Hit the jump for a ton more.

It's "Blaster Master." My brother used to beat me up whenever I got it backwards.

I'm not sure if the Mega Man one works for me. Outside in a park? Hmmm. I picture more like a robotic cavern or something. The Mario Bro's one is perfect!

I like the Donkey Kong one, but overall.. meh. Neat idea (that I've now stolen), but the execution & composition are flawed.

creative, wether they're perfect or not doesn't matter, the concept of them is great.
i could see people having these on their walls of their game room.

The real question is, who is the bigger loser? The asshole bragging about beating a nintendo game 20 years ago or the jackoff thats thinks anyone gives a shit that he's from canada? You should both be ashamed.

what a cranky bunch- I think you all could use some anger management classes.
I love the pics, I really like the donkey kong pic- you could make money off of poster prints of that in my opinion.
