Super Mario on an Accordion

The sweet sound of Nintendo. A trio of accordion players from Bulgaria have brought the sweet sound of Super Mario to our ears. And it has got to be the best rendition I have heard yet.

Peta attacks Tanooki Mario

Since the beginning of the Super Mario Bros. franchise, which began in 1983, there hasn’t been any kind of complaints about any of the game content in the series. Personally, I wouldn’t think there would be. Well, I guess I was wrong. PETA, People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals, has decided to finally show there concern about [...]

Gameboy Zombie

What do you do with a gameboy that hasn’t been used in quite some time. You make a zombie, that’s what you do. And that is exactly what artist Donald Kennedy, an artist over at KodyKoala, did with his old gameboy. Other than the gameboy, he also used hands from a Iron Man Monger figure [...]

Super Mario High Heels

Even though none of us here at Caffination are female, or wear any type of woman’s clothing, I thought these were a must see. These were just a personal project. However, if they were to be sold at all, I’m sure the would be quite the hot item among the geeky girls.

Legend of Zelda on Marimba

If you don’t know, I am quite the Legend of Zelda fan. So when I saw this video, one question came to mind. What the heck is a marimba. After a few google searches I found the answer. As for how it sounds, I think it is beautiful. Especially when it plays any Zelda music. [...]

NES In A NES Cart

I loved the simplicity of cart based gaming consoles. No scratched CD’s to worry about. Did it really matter if your kid wandered off with the game? Did parents even play games back then? A modder from over at Instructables has taken his love of nostalgia one step further and dropped a Chinese Knock Off [...]

The good news is the new dog does not like coffee, the bad news thats pretty much all the coffee news I have for the show. So this episode will lean a bit heavily on the tech side of things.It seems that a good deal of the country was out doing things these past couple of days as the overall volume of substantial news was down. We'll be covering some current events and how they affected the tech world, Michael Jackson's passing, Iran and twitter. Silly people and conclusions, you name it we'll touch on it. But we also have plenty of time for a bit of silly news and products that happen to have made their way to my inbox as well.

Instead I decided to break it down into the two most represented categories R and R is Retro and Robots, a metric ton of awesome in each subcat. Caffeinated all the way in today's show we speak of coffee as fuel for your car, fuel for your mind, and robots which tend gardens. We discuss the finery of Pacman, the majesty of Zork and the horror of modern advertising which is so cool you can't avert your eyes.
