Nintendo Power: Journey’s “Don’t Stop Believin’” Composed in Mario Paint
Tuesday, February 2nd, 2010You have not experienced Journey’s “Don’t Stop Believin’” until you’ve heard its power chords recreated in the charming, midi-like tones of an early-1990s Nintendo game.

Thanks, Japan: Sega Zippo Lighters
Thursday, October 29th, 2009Looks like Japan took a break from winning hot-dog-eating contests, drawing naked anime ladies, and fetishizing Hello Kitty to produce yet another ridiculous novelty: Sega Zippo lighters.
‘Cause why would you make a really small video game console that plays games when it can light cigarettes, instead?
