Weekly Craft Geekery: 1/24/13

 

 

 

 

 

Hey There! Welcome back to the Geekery. My day job has slowed down since Christmas is over, so I should have time to do this stuff again! Aren't you excited? I know I am! I found some really nifty stuff including some really cool Science and Grammar art prints,  jewelery that might have your favorite real and fictional pop culture icons in silhouette form, and also wooden Adventure Time clocks that you have to see.



You'll know when it's Adventure Time with these awesome clocks. These are seriously pretty and look well made. They are made from wood, which is something I haven't seen too much of My favorites are Lumpy Space Princess and Ice King. They aren't just limited to Adventure Time. There are some Doctor Who ones and some super heroes as well.  All of these can be found in the Etsy store, alantronics!

Check out the rest of this lumping stuff after the jump!

Hey, You Should Play This #8: Mushroom Kingdom Fusion v0.5

Ever wished there were more playable characters in your Mario games? Like, a whole lot more and they were from a bunch of other games? Then Mushroom Kingdom Fusion is for you!  If you ever wanted to play Mario as Link, or Mega Man, or Sonic, or even Meta Knight, then this is where it's at.  I mean, that alone should have you begging for a download link... well beg no more because there's one after that pesky jump.

Hey, You Should Play This #6: Sonic 2 HD Alpha

I'm not even a big Sonic fan and I can totally appreciate this HYSPT game! Some very talented individuals have decided to take it upon themselves to create an HD remake of Sonic 2 and boy does it look nice!  Like mind-blowingly nice!  The animation on the title screen is so good it's almost creepy!  Unfortunately all they have released so far is an Alpha version which only has the first two levels, but they play picture perfect!  Play control, Sonic physics, and everything are spot on identical to the original game, it just has an incredible visual upgrade that you really gotta see.  It's better than every crappy port Sega has has dumped out over the past 5 years put together, probably.  They are definitely doing better at making retro Sonic games than Sega, if Sonic the Hedgehog 4 Episode 1 was any indication.

 Hit the jump for the download, as usual!
