Craftster user mandys08 made this fab Lego Star Wars Princess Leia cake for her cousin’s birthday. She really got the facial expression from the video game down perfectly!

You know, this blog was originally going to be about video game crafts, but we quickly realized that there were crafts to be shared on a wealth of geeky topics. It’s been awhile since we’ve had an old-school video game craft though, so here’s a good one from our Etsy friend casstasstrophe: an acrylic Pac-Man necklace. You can buy one now :)

The phrase “It all started with Linux” and a picture of Charles Bronson occur with in the first few paragraphs of Simon Jansen’s thorough, rambling, and completely freaking awesome how-to post about his TARDIS MAME Console.  It’s one thing to build your own TARDIS, it’s a wholly different thing to build your own TARDIS, then construct a custom made MAME console to fit inside (the picture on the left is the TARDIS, closed. On the right, we see it open, with the console on). This might be the geekiest thing I’ve ever posted, a real trifecta of geekgasm worthy art.

All these “One Tiny Thing” swaps on Craftster are killing me with their tininess. (And yes, tininess is a word – I just looked it up to be sure.) For the “One Tiny Video Game Thing” swap, astrangeone carved this very intricate stamp of Master Chief from the game Halo. If you’ve never carved your own stamps, trust me – I have and this detail is amazing.

Or as Craftster Greg.Matta puts it – Grilltendo! He needed to be able to tell the difference between the carnivore grill and the vegan grill. Perfect solution!
