I bet this map was a blast to put together, the Film Map is loosely based on those vintage Los Angeles streep maps. It features over 900 film titles and includes such favorites as Forrest Gump (which is, of course, a forest), The Green Mile, Reservoir Dogs, and the Valley of the Dolls. It even has its very own Red Light district.

Designed by Dorothy design company there is also a Song Map available. I’m hoping that one day Dorothy may put together a Retro Games Map, now that would be awesome!

Available from Dorothy, the open edition prints cost £25 each and the limited edition signed and stamped prints are going for £100. Of course this begs the question: Where would you want to live?

It’s a Pac-Fan’s dream: a maze filled with fruit—and ghosts that can’t catch you. Starting from the Pac-Man, trace your way through the maze, gobbling letters as you go.

You can move just like Pac-Man, through the letter-free area in the middle of the maze. Plus, when you exit one side you pop up on the other. Once you consume a letter, it’s gone; keep going until you get to the next uneaten one. Without doubling back, find the path that lets you eat all 32 fruits.

I’m completely in love with these wonderful N+ew stools from Chillian artist Rodrigo Alonso. They look amazing and I could imagine myself spending hours gazing at my N+ew stool trying to figure out all the different computer parts used to make them into fully functional furniture.

(N+ew: No More Electronic Waste) Stool-sculpture-instalations are produced with electronic waste, epoxic resin and melted aluminum.  Alonso’s collection is posible thanks to the support of Recycla, a great organisation which raises awareness and supports the recycling of electronic waste.

Handmade in limited editions, or special orders. Each is a single, unique piece; none is equal in its filling.  Alonso is able to personalize your N+ew stool if you wish. If you want one, head over to Alonso’s site and send him an email.

I would have never even thought about it, but the Tardis seems about the perfect size for making a good photo booth out of.  Well, that is exactly what Steve Long did. He built a portable Tardis photo booth that recently made its debut at a wedding.

This impressive 4′ x 4′ Tardis photo booth is even officially licensed by the BBC so Steve can make back the money he spent building it (and then some I would assume).  Unfortunately, when it made its debut at the wedding, while it was a huge success, only one guy (the one in the picture) out of the 270 guests knew what the Tardis was!

For further details on how Steve Long made this amazing photo-booth take a look at the inspiring site Tardis Builders where there is a galaxy full of cool Tardis builds from showers to chicken coops!

I wish I could tell you this bridge is actually made out of Lego bricks. Wouldn’t that be the best bridge ever if it was?

Well, this isn’t quite what it looks like. It’s a bit of an illusion because it’s an old ugly bridge that was painted to look like it was made out of Lego bricks.

Either way, this street art is awesome. I love it. The bridge is 820 feet long, and it took 4 weeks to get all the details just right so it would look like a real Lego bridge.

Painted by street artist Meqx. It’s located in Wuppertal, Germany so if you are ever in that area, please send us some pictures of you there!

I love Tetris and I’m also one of those girls who loves to have lots of cushions, so these shapely bits of gamerfied design are right on the top of my latest list of must haves.

Security is not only an important issue on your computer: Your real life is dangerous, too! Especially if you ride your bike at  night, accidents can happen very easily. If day-glo sashes and pulsing LED’s mounted on your hat are a bit too garish for you to wear, even in the dark – try these Space Invader charms to get you home safely.

The Space Invaders Reflectors measure 6,5×6,5 or 9×6,5cm. and are made from reflective hi-vis material. Officially Licensed by Taito each one is equipped with a reclosable metal strap.

If you hurry to Firebox you can buy them for £3.75 instead of £7.49, that’s a bargain that shouldn’t be missed!

A couple of years ago we posted about a Pac-Man Bookshelf and now we’ve found the perfect addition to your Pac-Man inspired library. This ghost shelf is made by Barcelona artist Light Yourself  Up, great for keeping your books neat and tidy but even better for holding all your video game boxes.

The shelf measures about  76cm(H) x 71cm(W) x 10cm(D), and can be customized in other colors, you can even chose which direction the ghost’s eyeballs are looking. Me, I’d love to have a set of four, one each of Inky, Blinky, Pinky and Clyde hanging on my wall.

Light Yourself Up have a shop on Etsy where you can buy their Pac-Man Ghost shelf for £368.oo plus shipping.
