Cultural Blips: Nintendo's Best Fight Microsoft, Tetris Soap, Lemmings Crochet, and More
Written by Michael Donahoe   

No offense to Nintendo's heroes, but a plumber and a tight-wearing elf don't really compare to Microsoft's Master Chief, Marcus Fenix, and Blinx the cat. Err, rewind and scratch that last one.

Cultural Blips:

White Wall of Death

A White Wall of Death appears. Check out this Final Fantasy 4-inspired bead art piece depicting a Bill Gates-possessed 360 attacking Nintendo's greatest heroes (minus Mario, who ate it early). Guess he wasn't wearing the all-powerful red ring. [Tiny Cartridge]

 

Lemmings

Crochet Lemmings walk straight into your cute-loving heart. Craftmaker June stitched together these adorable crochet Lemmings for you to go "aww!" over. Head here if you want to make your own to cuddle and eventually walk off cliffs with. [technabob]

 

Tetris Soap

Tetris soap smells like a winner to us. If you're feeling dirty and don't fancy normal, easy-to-handle soap, piece together some awkwardly shaped Tetris soap. Just don't expect your high score to last very long. [etsy]

 

Tetris Shirt

This Tetris shirt fits perfectly vertically. Now that your hands are clean, stand up straight and let this Tetris-inspired shirt fall into place. With a smile, too, unlike these mopey models. [Offworld]

Ummm... Typo with Tetris Shirt.
Shirt looks cool anyway though obviously the piece that's falling down is made out of 5 blocks not four which is not "Canonical".
I also like all the other stuff.

Tetris shit is my favorite.

Tetris shirt is win, but price is fail. Why don't we see more artistic video game shirts?

OMG, it's the first time in a while I've wanted gaming paraphernalia so much!

Tetris shit looks like a something a pack of hipsters would wear for irony.

Also: Marcus Fenix/master chief are possibly the two most boring characters of all time. Do people actually care about the characters in halo or GOW? The characters are sacks of muscle held together by foot thick kevlar.
