    This is the custom cocktail style Donkey Kong arcade machine (although it plays other games too) built into an old wine barrel by ArcadeControls forum user griffindodd. I bet you I could sit there and play FOR HOURS. Also, I'm drinking whoever's beer that is. Finders keepers... / Continue →
  • Jealous: Father And Son Build Giant Basement Arcade
    May 22, 2013
    This is the giant basement arcade built by Redditor mertzlufft and his father. Mertzlufft sounds kind of braggy about it to which sucks because the last thing you want to hear from a person you're already jealous of is bragging. Have fun while it lasts, mertzlufft, but my dad... / Continue →
  • Insane Japanese Dance Dance Revolution Player
    April 29, 2013
    This is a video of some guy in Japan made of nothing but Redbull and uncut cocaine playing Dance Dance Revolution, or the Japanese equivalent of Dance Dance Revolution. He's quick. If I was ever challenged to a duel I would pay this guy to take my place and kill my enemy. An... / Continue →

  • OMG, Win It For Me!: Arcade Claw Machine w/ Cat Inside
    December 4, 2012
    This is a claw machine in a Russian arcade that some cat has decided to call home. Or maybe it's an actual prize, I dunno. What I do know is there's no way in hell you'll ever pick that kitty up with THAT WEAK-ASS CLAW. You'll have to lure him down into the prize bin with tr... / Continue →

    September 14, 2012
    This is Pianocade, a chiptunes-style synthesizer and MIDI controller designed to create music with oldschool arcade game sounds. Cool, but is it cooler than THIS? *making fart sounds with armpit* "You worry me, GW." Imagine how I feel! The Pianocade is a synthesizer design... / Continue →
  • Now You're Playing With Power: Joystick Light Switch
    September 6, 2012
    This is the $30 Power-Up Arcade Light Switch Plate from ThinkGeek. It looks like an arcade joystick, but it's not -- it's a light switch. I know -- it was hard for me to grasp at first too. The two buttons make different 'PEW PEW!' sound effects and the actual joystick contr... / Continue →
