Planet Express… Serving the Milky Way & Beyond!
Recently, DeviantArt-ist belldandies release a modern-retro-ish style advertisement poster for Planet Express to celebrate the return of Futurama. Utlizing his signture vector-style graphics with simple (but deep) color schemes, belldandies proves that even the most simple designs can be brilliant!

NOW, This is the Droid We’re Looking For…
DIY (Do It Yourself) is all the rage right now. So is retro video games. Popular Science (the cool kids call it PopSci) reader Brian de Vitis decided to design and fabricate a retro video game station out of a old Star Wars R2-D2 cooler (kind of like the ones you see at the local food mart full of ice with drinks). Brian was able to hook up this R2-D2 unit with eight different console gaming systems (everything from Atari 7800, PlayStation, Sega Genesis, Sega Dreamcast, Nintendo, Super Nintendo,Nintendo Game Cube, etc.), a sound system, and even a projector mounted to Artoo’s head. Whats even cooler is that you can plug all the game controllers right into R2-D2 front body panels. Artoo is one bad ass astrometic droid mofo.
Goodness! I LOVE fan made music videos. Especially when it has to do with retro video games. Mykola Dosenko (AKA Myk Dawg) of Kiev, Ukraine does just that with Kanye West’s song “Robocop”. Using graphic design/animation elements from retro games such as Mega Man and Punch Out, Myk Dawg created a brilliant music video that doesn’t really make much sense, yet has a nostalgic appeal that keeps you from not liking it. I still hate Kanye though. Hit the jump to see the video!
