Fore!: Portal And Minecraft Inspired Minigolf Holes

April 18, 2012 / celebration, fore!, games, golf, i am good at minigolf, i challenge you to a game!, i mean kinda cool but also kinda slapped together sorry i'm just being honest, it's not your birthday!, minigolf, oh man i love minigolf, one time i got so mad after rimming a shot i beat down the little wooden stand you're supposed to use to write down your score with my putter, sure why not

I want that beer and I want it now.

This is a little video game inspired minigolf course built to celebrate Tom Scott's 10,000th day on earth. Where did he live before that? No clue, but my guess is Reaper controlled territory. Also, I really hope we weren't supposed to bring presents because I did not. Add my name to the card you got him? Man, you know what my favorite thing about minigolf is? How drunk I get beforehand. Truthfully though, that's my favorite thing about anything. It's just a shame that, WITHOUT FAIL, I wind up spending the night in the drunk tank. My doctor's convinced I have what he likes to call an 'alcohol monitoring bracelet'.

Hit the jump for the holes doing their thing, but feel free to skip around. Minecraft is the first one featured, Portal hole @ 1:38.

The Amazing Portal-Themed Mini-Golf Hole (With Bonus Minecraft) [kotaku]

Thanks to josie, Brockstar, devon and Ben, who once got kicked out of minigolf for plugging the hole that eats your ball at the 18th so they could play another round for free. Me? I got kicked out for swimming in the lagoon and humping a fiberglass dinosaur.

  • But I Only Have One Friend: A Three-Person Chess Set
    July 2, 2012
    This is a three-person chess set. It's not the first 3-person chess set I've posted on Geekologie, but it is the first one that doesn't look like it was made by a novice carpenter. Who knows, maybe you've owned a three-person chess set forever. How do you even play? Is it a... / Continue →

  • I definitely like the idea of emulating a portal within a minigolf scenario, but I like that you're meant to destroy the golf ball at the end of the hole INFINITELY more.

    Also, it would be even more awesome if they had also used the gels from the second game... that'd be sweet!  (I'm thinking a motorized conveyor belt for the orange gel and a super bouncy rubber mat or trampoline for the blue gel)
