Duck Hunt’s getting old, and you can’t seem to keep Frogger alive. What’s next? How about popping this Halo cartridge into your Atari?

Ed Fries created “Halo 2600″ for the Atari 2600 as a part of the Classic Gaming Expo this weekend. Only 100 copies were made, but lucky us, we can play online as well!

Check the game out here: It’s simple to play, but you’re not gonna get too much done until you find your gun. Good luck!

Buzzfeed has an amazing list of the “Coolest Painted Video Game Consoles”, which got me thinking: How many people actually decorate their consoles?

I think if I had the time and artistic talent, it would be awesome, but I happen to lack both of those things.

Here are some of my faves from the list:

Mario Wii (Love the pipe to hold the Wiimote!)

Awesome PS1 (But why do people keep shooting at it!?)

Zelda NES

Have you decorated your console? Send us a pic! Put it in the comments, submit it to our Facebook page, or email it to tara@zaxy.com.

Oh, prom. A lovely right of passage that I’m assuming most of you tried with all your might to avoid.

Well, you wouldn’t want to avoid it if your date let you ride in this:

Imagine waiting for the doors to rise and let you and your date out. You saunter into the gym, knowing you’re the man. Beautiful.

This photo came from the Delorean Club of Ohio. I’m not sure if they own the limo or if they just like looking at pictures of it, but I would SO go to prom with you if this limo was involved. Just saying.

And in all seriousness, prom is a right of passage, and it is really stupid, but it’s good to say you did it. Instead of spending money on a boring, fancy dinner, My date and I went to Chuck E Cheese with a group of friends. And it was amazing until he got stuck in one of the tubes. We had so much fun, we went to our prom late, prizes in hand. Do something inexpensive and cheap that will make for fun memories and express your personality–have a big game tournament at your house before or after, or dress up in formal versions of your favorite characters!

Did any of you go to prom this year? What was your experience like? If you skipped out on prom, what did you do instead?

Robot Unicorn Attack, a free online game on AdultSwim.com, is by far one of the most stressful games I’ve ever played at work. Holy CRAP! I don’t think I’ve blinked in the last 20 minutes.

In the game, you play the robot unicorn, where you jump from platform to platform trying to catch all those rainbow floaty thingies and barge through all the big star statues. As time goes on, the game’s speed gets faster and your blood pressure rises. I nearly screamed at work after reaching my top score. You want to know what my top score was? Well too bad, because it’s not good at all and I’m still playing.

Every year, Disney hosts Star Wars themed weekends in the summer to boost their reputation and to promote the animated TV series, The Clone Wars.

Even though I wish Disney would stop with the weekend festivals and just go ahead and make a Star Wars Amusement Park already, the ads for these events are clever enough to make anyone want to go. Look how excited Darth Maul is about his rainbow face paint! Lawlz.

This fan made Street Fighter trailer is arguably better than any of the actual Street Fighter movies. Enjoy.

Check out Street Fighter: Legacy’s YouTube channel for behind the scenes clips on the fight design, costume, and makeup!

EDIT:

Here’s another fan-made video, brought to my attention by both Tekknight and Sesh_ . Which one do you like best?

This is holy grail of all the Star Wars posters. It combines the bad assness of every movie into one gigantic cluster of awesome. For the remainder of Star Wars Day, it is highly recommended that your wallpaper be set to this or any other Star Wars themed desktop background to honor the greatest saga of all time. Thanks. That is all.

[Thanks to Drew, who has his desktop background set to Jar Jar Binks smiling.]
