Lima bean kitten children

I love Ashley G's prints on Etsy. Who knew bean children with kitten heads could be so cute?


Is it weird that I think anything looks cuter with tentacles? Well, maybe not everything...

Yowl Monsters

Ever look back on your deflowerment and wish you had a witty retort handy? Well look no further!

Fully illustrated and endlessly amusing. Check out some selections here.

Play Super Mario from work!

You can even play as Mega Man from Mega Man, Samus from Metroid, Link from Zelda, Bill R. from Contra, or Simon from Castlevania! Go to the page here!

Sickest. thing. ever. From the blog:

Anyone who’s played Mario will flip out over this. Anyone who’s played Mario AND one or all of these other games will flip out 6 times as hard. Each mushroom, fire flower, and power up does something basically unique for each character. Some of them based on their character play in their original game, some of them completely new! You will not be able to stop. Ever.
