Left 4 Dead remade in 8-bits
Eric David Ruth has found a way to make Left 4 Dead adorable.
If you’re ever in the mood to kill zombies but want to revel in nostalgia brought on by Zombie Ate My Neighbors, then Pixel Force: Left 4 Dead is the “de-make” for you.
Pixel Force: L4D is a re-telling of Valve’s smash hit redone with 8-bit graphics and sound. The PC game covers all four campaigns from the original and supports two player co-op. Zoey, Luis, Francis and Bill all return to participate in the 2D fight of their lives.

Japanese Import: Set of eight Super Mario sound drops
Our favorite Japanese import site, J-List (J-Box), has a set of teardrop shaped keychains (or phone bangles if you dig that sorta thing) for sale. The set contains eight tiny sound devices, each packaged in a tiny gumball machine shaped plastic ball (aka capsule or gashapon shell) with a small paper sheet, pictured below.
Each device features its own color, sound and graphic borrowed from the classic Super Mario Bros. game. You play it by pressing the big button on the flatter side of the keychain. A truly cool item to have in your pocket.
