Tetris ice cubes for the remarkably unashamed

So cool. LOLpun.
Some of us prefer to hide our geekiness, fearing a loss of social status and reduced favor with the opposite sex. Others know that such things are mere trifles, and display their dorkdom with honor and pride. For those of the latter, we would point you to a step-by-step walkthrough of how to make your very own tetromino ice cubes. Yes, it must be Tetris craft week all around the intertron.

The steps are clearly written and easy to follow, but some woodwork and silicone supplies are required. If you're a handyman (or woman), go make yourself some cubes: they'll go wonderfully with that Russian vodka. Just kidding. We mean pop.

Perler bead crafting evolves

Posted May 6th 2007 12:00PM by JC Fletcher

This question mark block has extended its form into the fabled third dimension! This mysterious realm of depth is unexplored by either 8-bit explorers or Perler bead artists. This bold scientific discovery promises to usher a new age for Super Mario Bros. crafts!

Shown above, an artifact from the third dimension, looking very much like one of our own question mark blocks, but somehow composed of many two-dimensional blocks working in tandem to form a strange array of squares. These squares exist simultaneously in the normal two dimensions and in the newly-discovered third! This is a hypersquare.

Amazing art done with ... Rubik's Cubes?

Posted Feb 26th 2007 6:15PM by David Hinkle

If a custom Rubik's Cube depicting Mario and Luigi wasn't enough for you, then you might want to check out this. It's some of the best Rubik's Cube art we've ever seen, with tons of cubes being used together to depict a jumping Mario. The amount of time it would take to solve all of these cubes in the correct way, as well as attaching them together to create the desired image, must be a long and painstaking process. We commend such effort and wonder what kind of price an artist would put on such a project.
