As our ever-expanding waistlines will testify, the fridge is easily one of our favorite places in the house. Hence, Etsy user Pixelation has seemingly achieved the impossible through these charming acrylics-on-canvas magnets: a way of making the fridge even more awesome. However, we're going to stop ourselves from buying these for two reasons:
At $15 - $18, they're a bit out of our price range for magnets.
As if ingesting sugary treats or squirting whipped cream into our gaping maws wasn't already tempting enough, these would just encourage more fridge visits. That's not what we need.
"Haters get mad 'cause I got me some Bathin' Apes (DSes)."
If its shoes are any indication of how much these custom DSes will cost, it's safe to assume that you'll need to spend about a billion dollars to procure one of these Mario-and-Milo-patterned handhelds. Mario's slackjawed expression? Chalk it up to him seeing this package's price tag.
According to High Snobiety, Japanese clothing company A Bathing Ape plans to sell the "Bape x Nintendo DS Lites" in Japan starting April 1st. The systems will be available in white and, naturally, gold. Of course, you can expect this to be a very limited edition run.
Simple changes to a product's look can really make all the difference. Streetware designer Hiroshi Fujiwara and Japanese magazine Honeyee put their creative heads together for this DS Lite project, adding a few decorative touches that add up to a very classy form.
The duotone DS sports a matte black shell with white hinges and a white interior. Past the break, we've got a photo of the system with its lid pulled back. Honeyee and Fragment Design haven't yet determined how many of these limited edition handhelds to produce, but you can bet they'll be hard to get your hands on!

The woman had showered, dressed, and even put her shoes on by the time her husband finally crawled out of bed. They were on vacation, so she didn't mind letting him sleep in. It was an opportunity for her to play Mr. Driller while he went through his own morning routine.
She had just taken Susumi past the 10,000 ft. mark when she heard the *click* behind her.
Oh, how we adore you, Professor Layton and the Curious Village. Not only are you one of the most distinguished DS games of the year so far, but you're also proving a rich source of inspiration for webcomic artists everywhere.
Penny Arcade's take on the Professor's adventure set our ROFLcopter in motion the other day, and our giggling continued after seeing 2P Start's answer to the biggest puzzle of all. Hit the break for the full (totally-safe-for-work) comic!
We don't know much about this "Mini Car Candy Toy" set being sold at Play-Asia. All we know is that it's the Official Pokemon Mini Car Candy Toy, meaning all the others you've owned before this point were just crap.
We're also not sure which part of these toys are edible. Is it the cars themselves, or is there candy inside the cars? Either way, we want them. The only time we love sweets more than usual is when Pikachu is involved. The candy is also available in Chimchar, Piplup, and Turtwig flavors mini cars for your enjoyment.
While it might be expensive for what it is, you really can't complain about the $4 price tag too much. We're still confused about these things, but we're going to assume that they're a must-have for die-hard Pokemon fans.
Well, it looks like we may have stumbled on the best Mario-themed cake on the planet. While not particularly the news megaton you were looking for today while cruising DS Fanboy, you still have to admit that this cake is pretty damn cool. Also, is there a better way to celebrate your 30th?
Head past the break for some more shots of the cake.
When Japan-based 4cr staffer and elementary school teacher Vinnk tried using the Mario universe to teach his young students the English words for family members, he can't have been expecting a lesson of his own on the Mario family tree from a classroom of six-year-olds.
That's exactly what he did get however, with his pupils patiently pointing out that Wario, Mario, Luigi, and Peach were all siblings, that Bowser is either their father or uncle, and that Luigi must be older than Mario because he's taller. We're still no clearer on what Yoshi's role is in this incestuous mess, and it's not something we wish to dwell on for longer than is necessary.
Anyway, for the full hilarious/adorable transcript of this exchange, hit the "Read" link below. It made our morning.
Here's why we can never bid on a sealed container of the Nintendo Cereal System like this one: we'd be too tempted to taste it. We're equally driven by memories of the cereal's taste and curiosity about how it would hold up. And then we'd have not only wasted 80 bucks (as of right now), we'd have made ourselves sick. That would be a fun story to tell the emergency room doctor! We're content to watch the commercial over and over again. It's free and gastrointestinally safe.
While we're looking at this wonderfully deadly collectible, check out the dual-cereal design. Ralston totally predicted the DS design -- in food!
We still have another month left of winter, which means that (depending on where you live) it's probably damn cold. While putting on the heat is generally a good idea, that costs money. To be honest, we'd much rather have this Tetris themed Afghan to keep us warm.
Crafted by Flickr user SheriB626, this crochet project took a long time to make. Sheri gave it to a special someone, who then broke her heart. Once their relationship was over, she naturally asked for this spectacular Afghan back. We would've done the same thing.
D3 Publisher expressed their love for GameSetWatch with this beautiful box of Valentine's chocolates. We love D3 as well, but we will have to be content with pictures of the other site's gift. It truly is one of the fanciest Valentines we've seen, especially considering that it was given not to a paramour but to a business contact. The box comes printed with Ben 10, Naruto, Dark Sector, and Puzzle Quest characters, and all of the candies feature the sharp-looking D3 logo. That character-emblazoned box? Also chocolate.
If we were to receive one of these, we'd never eat it, choosing to preserve it forever as a collectible. Then in a few years we'd realize that we were keeping old food and we'd throw it out in a panic.

"Did you know that if two people who love each other go to Todai, they'll live happily ever after?"
"Hm?"
"If it really works, let's go to Todai together, okay?"
For the four people who don't check Penny Arcade three times a week: today's installment of the webcomic is about Professor Layton. Specifically, the tendency of pretty much everyone in the game world to have a pressing puzzle need that you must address before they are willing to have basically anything to do with you.
In the accompanying news post, Tycho refers to the game as a "logic opera," in that "every person you meet breaks into "puzzle" the way that viking ladies tend to break into song, out of nowhere, and now you're riddling out some jackhole's insane chicken scratches." It's a pretty astute way to describe the randomly puzzle-ful world of Layton.
In case you're not familiar with Penny Arcade, we'll warn you: there is adult language to be found! We mean "adult language" as in cursing, not talking about taxes or politics.
If you eat food, which is a given, and you aren't a vegan or lactose intolerant, you probably know that cheese is the best food ever. (The previous statement is a well-known fact, and is not up for debate.) Of course, cheese-based foods (well, all foods, for that matter) are always better when they relate to video games.
Today's spotlight food relates to Pac-Man. No, we're not talking about Babybel cheese ... that would be too obvious. Instead, Jocelyn from Snack-or-Die found this neat recipe, which details how to make Pac-Man and pellet-shaped crackers. In case you're wondering what they taste like, think Goldfish snacks.
If you have even the least bit of culinary skill and own the proper hardware, you owe it to yourself to make these crackers. The recipe makes the process seem pretty easy, and they look mighty tasty. Cooking Mama, eat your heart out.
Well, it's not as bad as it sounds. In fact, these Nintendo-themed Valentine cards from 4 Color Rebellion epitomize the kind of charmingquirkiness that makes game-related art great. 4cr's Mitch Donaberger created these cards to express the complex feelings of the lovestruck Nintendo fan. For example, the card above is probably the most eloquent way to tell someone that not only are they great, they are great much in the same way that the wonderful DS Lite is.
The cards come in both web-friendly and printable resolutions, so you can choo-choo-choose to send one to a loved one either as an e-card or as a regular-style card. Now you're playing with ... other people's emotions!
