Jun 23 2008Eye Candy: Video Games Invade Real World
This is the second installment of "video games in the real world" art here on Geekologie. The first was brought to us by Mike (aka Pixel Fantasy) on Flickr, but this set was done by DeviantArt user RETROnoob. These are noticeably more intricate than the first. There's a ton more eye candy after the jump, so make sure to hit it for some Street Fighter and Mario Kart action, along with a bunch of others. My only complaint is this: enough with the teasing already. If people are gonna keep make these pictures, I think it only fair that somebody actually tear a hole in the time-video game fabric and merge our two worlds. Damnit, sex with a Koopa Troopa is my God-given right.
Hit the jump for a ton more.

Great idea. Wish I had the technical know-how to do this. Ah well, back to writing reviews of things that don't exist. Ho hum.

This is so much more impressive than the last installment, I hope Pixel Fantasy doesn't see them. It would be devastating to be so outdone.

It's Koopa Troopa. If you cannot spell their name then I do not believe you should be given the right to have sexual intercourse with them.

eeeh..
I think there's "For God's Sake" and "Peed in my pant" in there, I don't know about the rest...
...I had Crack for dinner, it may explains why the picture sounded way more colorful than now. Now it just look like a normal picture, damn! I still like the bikes, though.

These are fun, but all I think of when I see this stuff is that somebody has way too much time on their hands.

The E. Honda flat on his back in the dojo is the best one. The saturation of the original photo of the dojo gives it that slightly cartoony feel that helps the Street Fighter characters fit in.

Did this 5 minute session of half-assed photoshop really warrant a post.

Easy enough photoshop job, but nonetheless a great idea.
