Creeper World – new RTS/defense game
Ok, this one is totally NOT crafty at all, but a new PC/MAC game is absolutely geeky. The only reason I’m posting this is because a friend of mine created this game. The game is called Creeper World and it’s a RTS/Tower Defense type game for PC and MAC. You can find out more and download a free demo at http://knucklecracker.com. I typically dislike RTS games but I played through the first three levels right before I wrote this and enjoyed it thoroughly. I’ll be going back to finish the demo.
Crocheted Mario Raccoon Rug
enemyairship just posted for the first time on Craftster and she’s starting off good! She crocheted this 8-bit Mario Raccoon (my favorite Mario!) rug as a birthday present for her boyfriend. And it’s huge – 7 feet! Click through for some in progress photos as well as how she went about making this with granny squares.
Guitar Hero Scarf
So if you live anywhere near me, it isn’t scarf weather anymore. Not even close. But I’m sure somewhere in the midwest it’s still snowing, and I hear that Siberia is quite cold this time of year. Anyway, this blog isn’t always about functionality, is it? No. No it’s not, so when I saw this six foot long Guitar Hero Scarf featuring the actual riff from “Killer Queen“, I threw caution (and the weather) to the wind and decided to post it. Domestic Scientist posted this in two parts, a progress entry and the finished product. This is a rockin’ accessory.
5 Amigurumi Sackboys by causticmuse
I just came across this amazing crocheter (is that a word?) – Maggie Wang aka causticmuse – on Craftster. She has made a whole bunch of cool, very geeky amigurumi dolls based on Sackboy from LittleBigPlanet. I couldn’t pick a favorite as they’re all great, so here are five:
Level 80 Blood Elf from World of Warcraft
The Nameless One from Planescape: Torment

Conker the Squirrel in Cross-stitch
I am always in awe of anyone who can cross-stitch a huge, detailed design and this Conker the Squirrel by Geek Craft reader Mrs. Evil Tedi is no exception. She used cross-stitch design software to make the pattern from the Xbox game Conker Live and Reloaded. I can’t even image how long this must have taken to complete.
