Wow, I just watched a 23 minute long history lesson on console gaming, and I am just beside myself with all of the memories that are visiting me again. Some of these things are forever etched in my memory, and for each little device that I recognize, I realize how big of a geek I [...]

Social gaming is fun. You can play so many games now on FaceBook. You can be a farmer, a waiter, a chef, or even a restaurant manager. You can even be a real estate mogul or an interior designer. Yo Ville, Farmville, Restaurant City and Hotel City are just some of the games that allow [...]

Wow, I had no idea that the Rubik’s Cube has been around for 30 years. That little colorful brainteaser has some staying power for sure. For its own 30th birthday, the Rubik’s Cube is celebrating in two very special ways. First of all, they’ve come out with a limited edition wooden cube. That’s nice and [...]

If you are one of the geeks out there with an uncontrollable love for playing Super Mario Bros. every single minute like us here at Bit Rebels, you might enjoy knowing that the way you’re playing it, with the controller, is the lame and simple way to get the princess saved. Using the controller has [...]

Zelda is one of my favorite games of all time, and I played it until I finished it back in the days of the Nintendo NES console. The excitement of this classic game is yet to be surpassed, but for now, my memories of the NES are about Zelda and Super Mario. Everything that has [...]

Here we go again. Designer Xiang Pan recently created the next “intellectual person’s game.” Great. This is yet another game to make us regular people feel dumb. I get confused even reading the directions for how this is to be played; however, it looks fascinating, so I wanted to share it with you. Oh, and [...]

I used to be a huge gamer. During the summers when I was at university, my friends and I would stay up all night long for weeks playing video games. It was truly an obsession. We would only put our remotes down long enough to make a box of Kraft mac-n-cheese after we realized we [...]

I totally dig the whole zombie/vampire culture. I think it’s a lot of fun. I don’t like it as much as the couple that went so far as to have a romantic zombie wedding, but I love the movies. John Carpenter’s Vampires is a classic that will always be one of my favorites. Yesterday Richard [...]

I love foosball tables. I think it just goes along with being a geek, doesn’t it? I don’t really care about playing the game; I just like checking out the tables themselves. This Lego Star Wars Foosball Table is incredible to me. Today I have another one to share with you. This sleek, shiny beautiful [...]

There is no mistaking that vampires, zombies and undeads are a hot topic of the present. Pretty much every movie that is released right now has some element of one or more of these things. It seems like we are so overly excited about the undead and the rotting of forever that we just can’t [...]

Team co-op games have always been fun and in the past few years there have been a good few “greats.” Borderlands and the Left 4 Dead series are perfect examples of this. These 4 player co-op games go against the forces of whatever, with plenty of guns and a large amount of either blood or goo. Frankly, [...]

Consoles today aren’t exactly cheap. I remember when I was younger and decided to get myself a Nintendo NES console. Sure, it was a lot of money back then, but they were just $150 a pop. Today some consoles set you back $595 if you want to geek out on some majestic gaming. And, it [...]

Now this is something that I would put in my office. I would use it every day for sure, and it probably would be a huge work distraction. The geek factor of this thing is off the chart, and I am sure that it would steal everyone’s attention when they enter my office. I haven’t [...]

We definitely have a thing for geek jewelry on Bit Rebels. A lot of times, geek jewelry can be the most romantic jewelry of all, but then again, maybe I just think that because I’m a geek myself. I remember the ring with the hidden message. I loved that one! Richard wrote about the earrings [...]

This is just the geeky kind of project that would be a dream come true for me. Wouldn’t it be fun to make one of these costumes one weekend? It would make for an inspiring Saturday afternoon! This particular 8-bit costume was created by Kiel Johnson and Klai Brown for a Toshiba commercial. Hmm… I [...]

What is it with our bubble wrap fascination? I just had a package delivered a few minutes ago, and my son and I both grabbed pieces of bubble wrap to pop before we even looked at what was inside the box. When I’m around bubble wrap, I cannot control myself. I have to pop it. [...]

Oh my gosh, I can’t stop laughing. Can you just imagine if you were getting hot and heavy with a guy and he pulled out a Donkey Shlong condom? He wouldn’t need to put it on; the moment would be completely ruined… Instant contraception, right? Haha Just kidding, I actually really like them! These condoms [...]

Have you checked in yet? If you do not know what that phrase means, let me explain it to you. Geolocation based applications are becoming more and more popular. For example, we have applications like Foursquare and Gowalla where people can allow others to discover new locations, restaurants, offices, gyms, etc…  The question often asked [...]

It doesn’t get much better than this. Really. I mean, a fully functional Star Wars foosball table built entirely out of Lego? Are you kidding me? This actually exists? Calm down Diana, breathe. If you look closely, you’ll see that Flickr user 2×4 considered every detail when he built this foosball table, and according to [...]

Just when you thought you’d seen it all when it comes to people playing the tunes from the legendary cult games we all remember from our youth, something comes along that changes the stage forever. I remember not too long ago someone, I don’t remember where I saw it or who it was, played the [...]
