Many of you may remember when its name and console were synonymous, and we all had secret ways to get the games to work: blowing the cartridge, pushing the game down right as it was seated in the slot, praying that it would just somehow work, etc. Now, there’s a new way to play those classic NES games: on the go.

The Retro Mini Handheld NES ($50 available from Think Geek) runs off 4 AA batteries (lasts 8 hours), has a 2.4″ LCD screen, built in speakers, headphone jack, and composite A/V cables to connect to a TV. This unit fits those old school, full-sized NES cartridges.

If you’ve ever heard a conversation between people who are into photography, one question that you always hear is, “What do you shoot?” For the most part, the answers commonly heard are either Canon or Nikon (no disrespect to the other brands, but let’s be real.. they have the camera game on lock). One thing you wouldn’t expect to hear answered is “my rifle.”

Dubbed the Tactical Camera Long Range Assault Stock, or TALCS, this contraption is mean to replace the use of the traditional shutter release. Take a look at the shots below. Definitely a cool theme to go with to demonstrate its uniqueness. These cameras were taken out for “target practice.” Nice..

Konami Code Sites is a compilation of the websites that have the Konami Code embedded it in as a “easter egg” of sorts. And the cool thing is – you have to enter in the Konami Code to even access the website!

I really shouldn’t post this because this is something that only (cool) people who grew up playing Contra really know, but here’s the code:

Definitely HELLA FRESH!

These are USB flash drives made to look like miniature versions of the Akai MPC 2000XL and the E-Mu SP-1200. Cop one now before they sell out! They expect to sell out some time today.
