This is definitely awesome, but if you paint your car to look like Charlie Brown aren't you just asking for a depressing, soul-crushing driving experience?
Geekanerd Spotter has seen plenty of 8-bit street art, but what makes this mini-mosaic featuring Mario any different? It's French! Fellow blogger and loyal reader Lena was recently in Paris, and snapped these pictures of Mario in his unnatural habit.
I've always said those Parisians had class. Can any old schoolers tell me the name of the white figure Mario is facing off against?
This entire condo complex has an invincibility star! Does that mean that the people who live here will never die, as long as they don't leave their rooms? But what kind of life would that be? Actually that may be a scenario all too familiar to both you and me, dear reader.
Spotted this station-wide Harry Potter ad campaign in the 42nd Street Times Square Subway station. This poster portrays all the baddies in a subway station (meta!), with a train wooshing by behind them. If I saw these guys on the subway, I would definitely follow them because you know a Slytherin party in New York is the place to freakin be. Gryffindor parties are probably just a lot of sitting in a circle on the floor and telling stories about friendship. Slytherin parties have drugs and anonymous sex! And murder!
Can you believe this? My god. If it wasn't for social anxiety disorder, I would have run down and gotten the full story from the driver. Let us just assume he's a really, really big Batman fan, and is very confident in his fandom.
Someone loves their old school Gameboy so much, they just had to leave a declaration in sharpie in the Union Square subway.
Also of note; no one here seems to care about Dark Knight very much, but the Resident Evil animated movies (??) are HUGE.
This image really confused me. It looks like a legit Disney character design, but who is it? From whence did it come? The combination of dark skinned girl, walrus, and penguin had me thinking...Eskimo Princess? Could this be some sort of Direct to DVD Disney flick available only in Central American markets?
Foaming Geek Analysis Moment: I do have to question exactly what sort of troopers these are supposed to be. Given that they're promoting Clone Wars, you'd think they're supposed to be Clone Troopers from the era between Attack of the Clones and Revenge of the Sith. The red guy is clearly a Clone Captain in Phase II armor, you can see the model here. So that checks out. But those other guys are just classic Stormtroopers, who weren't around until after (or at least the very end of) Revenge of the Sith. C'mon Lucasfilm, you couldn't spring for a few more Clone Trooper uniforms, you have to pull those old Halloween costumes out of storage? It never ends.
Looks like post Dark Knight the Joker has gotten a job as a signmaker in a cheesy Midtown bar. I suppose this speaks to the mainstream penetration of the movie. Or something.
Denny Colt and Rev Run both know that all it takes to move product is a black silhouette and a fedora.
Spotted a guy with this sign on the corner of Waverly Place and Broadway. He said the idea for the sign just came to him one day. I don't know what the street price is on those little crystal things, but I hope he gets it together soon, he let me take this picture and seemed like a nice guy. Though I guess he'd have to be, what with the no fear/anger/hate code.
During my recent trip to San Francisco, I saw this sign outside of Faye's Video, one of the Mission District's finer independent video stores/cafes. And not too hipstered out, apparently, to show a little semi-ironic love to the turtles.
Out and about in NYC tonight and spotted this sticker proclaiming: We Love Magneto. I really wish there was a counter-culture of young adults who were ideologically allying themselves with the mutant terrorist idol Magneto without considering the ramifications. Oh, to live in a perfect world.
