Reader Submission: Replica of Gehn’s Crest from Riven
I was never hardcore enough to finish Riven, I remember hours of sitting behind my older brother watching him play Myst, and then when Riven came out I was embarrassed to find that my computer gaming skills still sucked… I’ve always been more of a spectator when it comes to first person games…
This is what genius metalcrafter Riv says about her work:
“I’m so excited to have finally combined my absolute love of the Myst series and my obsession with making stuff out of metal. The games have shaped my aesthetic immensely, and I’m driven always by the desire to make an object that feels as real as Riven felt to me. Here, I think I’ve succeeded.”

I Hearth You Friendship Necklaces
You know those friendship necklaces? The ones where one side says “Best” and the other side says “Friends”, and you can wear one while your friend wears the other? I always thought the person who got “Best” got the better end of the deal, because they were the best.
Finally there is a perfect way to show the night elf in your life how much you care, with these I Hearth You friendship necklaces. You will be the coolest friends in Azeroth thanks to Stephanie Williams of rainbowdarknesss on Etsy. Her shop has all kinds of cool, geeky, awesome stuff made from polymer clay and more.

Bub & Bob Perler Bead Sprites
I love Bubble Bobble. It is one of those games that I always plan to go back and actually beat, and whenever I try to sit down to try I almost immediately give up. It is SO hard. The game designers, I am convinced, actually hate me specifically.
Erin Klarer of EEKgiftshop on Etsy reminds me of my constant failure with these adorable Bub and Bob sprites done with perler beads. I have seen a few Bubble Bobble sprites in my day, but I like that these ones are actually in their bubbles. Very cute.

Aperture Science Space Core Cake
Yeah, you read that right. I couldn’t believe my eyes when I saw this cake based on the personality cores from Portal 2. I thought I had made some sort of mistake, but check out this picture of the cake being cut. I could never be a baker, because if I made a cake this awesome and someone tried to cut into it I don’t know what I would do. Certainly we would be in the newspaper the next day.
The cake was made by the talent over at Mike’s Amazing Cakes in Redmond, WA. I have attempted to make a cake in the past, and failed horribly, so I can’t even imagine the kind of work that would go into something like this.
