The boxes (including the three stacked squares making up the roof) are stiff cardstock folded into origami boxes and glued together where appropriate. The little light at the top was made using a stiff plastic sheet, cut to shape, scored and folded before adding the roof and gluing it all in place. I added the little details as well, like the ‘POLICE BOX’ labels and the notice outside the door (all handwritten), and the tiny door handle made using thin, twisted wires. The whole thing was then given a few coats of varnish to seal in the paint and give it a smooth appearance. </div> <div></div> </blockquote> <p>This is just all levels of awesome would love to see an DIY for it though!</p>http://salemwebguy.tumblr.com/post/41879170638http://salemwebguy.tumblr.com/post/41879170638Wed, 30 Jan 2013 14:02:48 -0500<a href="http://www.coinopkids.com/interview-with-wind-of-the-stars/">Interview with Wind of the Stars Cosplay</a>: <p><img height="1024" src="http://www.coinopkids.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/09/Lilith.jpg" width="683"/></p>http://salemwebguy.tumblr.com/post/31215437151http://salemwebguy.tumblr.com/post/31215437151Sun, 09 Sep 2012 15:01:24 -0400<h2 style="text-align: center;">Modeling Questions</h2> <p><strong>How did you get the name handle/gamertag:</strong><br/> I came up with BangBangNeko when me and my cosplay group were just starting out competing. It was just something out of the blue and I didn&#8217;t think I would be keeping but alas it stuck. lol</p> <p><strong>You have been modeling for a while now. What got you interested in modeling?</strong><br/> It was the first time I went to a big convention like Sakuracon; after seeing the fabulous costumes and characters I decided then that I would prefect my skills and be as good or better as the costumers I saw at the convention that day. I also love that you can tell so many stories with photography and to me I like to create scenes that could be in a movie because I&#8217;m such a movie buff.</p> <p><strong>Who is your favorite photographer?</strong><br/> oooooh hard question because everyone has their own style. But I would have to say Big White Bazooka though I&#8217;ve never worked with him personally I just love his work. I would love to make an epic costume and shoot with him some day in the future.</p> <p><strong>What are your obsessions?</strong><br/> Movies, Figure collecting, Creature makeup/ design, costuming, and video games.</p> <h2 style="text-align: center;">[gallery link=&#8221;file&#8221; orderby=&#8221;title&#8221;]</h2> <h2 style="text-align: center;">Geek/Video Game Questions</h2> <p><strong>What was your first video game (when, and what console)?</strong><br/> My first video game was on the old Nintendo; I was baby and would sit next to my dad with my own controller playing side by side him playing Mario Brothers. Then when I was four I played for the first time by myself Joust.</p> <p><strong>What was your first Table-Top game (and when)?</strong><br/> My first table top game was ZOMBIES!! I won it at a local zombie costume contests and since my friend was obsessed with zombies I gave it to her and during school she pulled it out and we played a couple games.</p> <p><strong>What is your favorite video game?<br/></strong>Dang very tough question but for the new generation of games I would say Batman Arkham Asylum; Because I grew up watching the old 90&#8217;s Batman cartoons and I have always loved the villains in the Batman series. So getting a chance to play as Batman and seeing all the villains just made me fangirl hard. XD</p> <p>Older generation; I&#8217;d have to say Twisted Metal I played that sooo much when I was little.</p> <p><strong>What is your favorite type of video game? (rpg, fps, etc)</strong><br/> I love third person RPG because you get to customize your story, character and immerse yourself into the world.</p> <p><strong>When did you first realize that you were a geek/nerd?</strong><br/> Lol when I was born pretty much my dad is nerd and passed it on to me; When I was little I use to sit and watch old batman cartoons, Freakzoid, tons of Anime and would always try to play with my cousins Star Wars figures. From then on out I&#8217;ve never changed I just grew more geeky and hope to pass it on to my children as well.

I was a singer in a metal band in high school named &#8220;Hollow Faith&#8221;, and we all came up with stage names (like any good high school band should! haha). Since it had &#8220;Faith&#8221; in the name, I spent weeks trying to come with some sort of religious first name. I asked all of my friends, and they suggested Athena, since everyone came to me for advice &amp; I always had my friends&#8217; backs, even if they were in the wrong. Since then, it just kind of stuck.</p> <p><strong>You have been modeling for a while now. What got you interested in modeling?<br/></strong>Most of my modeling has been&#8230; adult. So, that came about in my freshman year in high school. We were instructed to write an essay on what we wanted to be when we grow up. My answer: Pornstar. My logic was that since I wanted to be a famous singer, negative publicity would get my name into the papers faster, and more effectively, than anything else.</p> <p>So, what started as just a way to get publicity turned into something I really loved doing.</p> <p><strong>Who is your favorite photographer?<br/></strong>I&#8217;ve been lucky and become great friends, with some fabulous photographers. Not counting 2 of the best people I&#8217;ve worked with, (Miss Envy &amp; Funkatron) I&#8217;d have to say Philip Warner (aka Lithium Picnic) is probably my favorite photographer. Even with the drama aside, from a few years ago, he&#8217;s still an amazingly talented photographer and it would be a dream to work with him one day.</p> <p><strong><br/> What are your obsessions?</strong><br/> Gaming in general is a pretty big obsession. Not only do I adore cosplaying video game characters or any other subject, I just helped finish writing a table-top RPG ruleset. Even started an adult site based on geeks &amp; gamers about 5 years ago.</p> <p>[gallery link=&#8221;file&#8221; columns=&#8221;4&#8221; orderby=&#8221;title&#8221;]</p> <h2 style="text-align: center;"><strong>Geek/Video Game Questions</strong></h2> <p style="text-align: left;"><strong>What was your first video game (when, and what console)?<br/></strong>The first gaming console I owned was an NES back in 1990. I had played Atari &amp; Coleco at friends&#8217; houses before that, but Christmas in 1990, my parents got me an NES.</p> <p style="text-align: left;">The first game I remember playing was actually the Ninja Turtles Arcade Game at Chuck E Cheese. The first one I owned (other than SMB since it came with the NES) was the McKids video game. I know, lame, but was a blast to play when you&#8217;re 5.<br/><strong><br/> What was your first Table-Top game (and when)?<br/></strong>I started tabletop gaming when I was 16 or 17. 2nd ed. AD&amp;D. I remember staying up with the GM all night working on my character (because I was completely clueless on what to make and how to do it at that time). Finally ended up making a general mage, that was a mouthy royal trying to prove she was more than just a princess. Yep.</p> <p><strong>What is your favorite video game?<br/></strong>Now this is a toughie. I have several favorites, and the list changes depending on what I&#8217;m in the mood to play. I would have to say, if I had to narrow it down to a few, Chrono Trigger, Final Fantasy VII, Dragon Age, &amp; the Mass Effect series are up on the list. OH! And Uplink. LOVE Uplink.</p> <p><strong><br/> What is your favorite type of video game? (rpg, fps, etc)</strong><br/> I&#8217;m an RPG gamer more than anything else. I love the indepth storylines, character development, and general game mechanics. I used to only be good at turn based JRPGS, but I&#8217;ve since found that given a mouse &amp; keyboard instead of a controller, I am damn good at FPS/TPS RPGs too :)</p> <p><strong><br/> When did you first realize that you were a geek/nerd?</strong><br/> I guess I never really &#8220;realized&#8221; it, per say. I just kind of always &#8220;was&#8221;. I was put into advanced classes in 1st grade, and got picked on (a lot) for my &#8220;style&#8221;, lack of boobs, and general interests (mostly reading a LOT, and gaming). Once I turned 16, I learned to own this all and used it as an attribute, instead of a limitation.</p> <p><strong><br/> I&#8217;d like to thank you for your time, and if any photographers, want to talk to you about modeling where should they go? </strong><br/> Feel free to grab my attention on <a href="http://www.facebook.com/Model.AthenaHollow" target="_blank">Facebook</a> or <a href="http://twitter.com/athenahollow" target="_blank">Twitter</a></p> <p class="tumblrize-permalink"><a href="http://www.coinopkids.com/interview-with-athena-hollow/" title="Go to original post at Coin-Op Kids" rel="bookmark">Original Article</a></p>http://salemwebguy.tumblr.com/post/30655636919http://salemwebguy.tumblr.com/post/30655636919Sat, 01 Sep 2012 11:00:39 -0400geektumblrizecosplaygeek girlsinterviewssexy<h2 style="text-align: center;">Modeling Questions</h2> <p><strong>How did you get the name handle/gamertag:</strong><br/> Actually&#8230;I was dating this guy for many years. When we first met, his friends all liked to give him a hard time for dating a nerd and refused to call me by my real name. Because of all my Zelda tattoos, they called me Zelda (My friends refused to call him by his real name too - They called him Craigslist. That&#8217;s where we met). The name stuck, and I ended up choosing it when I first started modeling. If I had things to do over again now, I would have picked a different name (I had no idea how involved in modeling I was going to get!) But, Zelda I have become, and it fits me very well. Half the people I know now don&#8217;t even call me by my real name anymore.</p> <p><strong>You have been modeling for a while now. What got you interested in modeling?</strong><br/> I first got into modeling through cosplay. I had been cosplaying for about 6 years at that point (10 years now). I never had any photos of my costumes and in all honesty, I was very camera shy. I ended up really loving it though, and today I couldn&#8217;t imagine being without it.</p> <p><strong>Who is your favorite photographer?</strong><br/> That&#8217;s a loaded question! I have been incredibly lucky to work with the talented people I have worked with. Adam Chilson is probably my favorite photographer, although I haven&#8217;t worked with him. I&#8217;ve made so many incredible friends and worked with so many talented artists over the years, but I have to put J S Edmonds at the top of my list, because we work together so often and so well, and he&#8217;s such a great friend. Grant Palmer, Art Villanueva, OnePixArt and Saltwater Production Company are all also incredible people to work with too.</p> <p><strong>What are your obsessions?</strong><br/> Obsessions! Beyond cosplay and costuming, it definitely has to be metal. I&#8217;m passionate about a lot of things, but I wouldn&#8217;t say I obsess over anything like I do costumes and metal.</p> <p>[gallery link=&#8221;file&#8221; orderby=&#8221;title&#8221; exclude=&#8221;4412&#8221;]</p> <h2 style="text-align: center;">Geek/Video Game Questions</h2> <p><strong>What was your first video game (when, and what console)?</strong><br/> Oh jeez. I have no idea. My father was a geek, so I got started at a very young age - I&#8217;m talking like 3 years old here. Some of my earliest memories are sitting on my father&#8217;s lap playing Zork and Myst. I also played text based adventures and the NES. I&#8217;m old :(</p> <p><strong>What was your first Table-Top game (and when)?</strong><br/> D&amp;D 3.5 - I played for the first time a couple years ago. I haven&#8217;t had the opportunity to play recently, I do sorta miss the hell out of it actually. I&#8217;d really like to check out Pathfinder sometime.</p> <p><strong>What is your favorite video game?</strong><br/> It&#8217;s a tie between Legend of Dragoon, Link to the Past, Super Castlevania IV, Final Fantasy 7, Halo 2, Bioshock, and Chrono Trigger. I know that&#8217;s a lot more than one game. It&#8217;s like trying to pick your favorite child. :(</p> <p><strong>What is your favorite type of video game? (rpg, fps, etc)</strong><br/> First person shooters and fighters. Anything that allows me to be competitive.</p> <p><strong>When did you first realize that you were a geek/nerd?</strong><br/> Oh, I have been a geek since I was a baby. I really had no choice in the matter :3<br/></p> <p><strong>I&#8217;d like to thank you for your time, and if any photographers, want to talk to you about modeling where should they go?</strong></p> <p>You can find me at: <a href="http://www.facebook.com/mistresszeldamodel" target="_blank">Facebook</a> | <a href="http://www.gameslut.deviantart.com" target="_blank">DeviantArt</a> | <a href="http://www.modelmayhem.com/mistresszelda" target="_blank">ModelMayhem</a></p> <p class="tumblrize-permalink"><a href="http://www.coinopkids.com/interview-with-zelda/" title="Go to original post at Coin-Op Kids" rel="bookmark">Original Article</a></p>http://salemwebguy.tumblr.com/post/30589083866http://salemwebguy.tumblr.com/post/30589083866Fri, 31 Aug 2012 11:00:03 -0400geektumblrizecosplaygameshotnesssexyvideozelda<h2 style="text-align: center;">Modeling Questions</h2> <p><strong>How did you get the name handle/gamertag: -</strong><br/> I wanted to keep my first name the same as my real name, as I&#8217;d rather be known and called by my real name then something made up (I&#8217;m not very good at the secret identity thing I guess, haha) - To make my stage name more fancy than my real name I changed my last name to Desire, which is what my first name translates to. Simple and effective.</p> <p><strong>You have been modeling for a while now. What got you interested in modeling? -</strong><br/> I remember spending lots of time when I was young admiring photography and learning about the art of photography, I was always setting up some elaborate photo of myself with my camera on timer. Whenever I come up with an artistic idea it gets translated into how it would be done through photography, my mind has always worked that way. So eventually through what I&#8217;d done by myself as a portfolio I put myself out there to other photographers with my ideas and interest in being involved in the creative ideas of others as well and it&#8217;s grown from there. I use myself as a tool for artistic expression and it&#8217;s what I&#8217;m passionate about and forever growing and improving on.</p> <p><strong>Who is your favorite photographer?</strong><br/> Philip Warner. I&#8217;ve been following his work since I was first interested in alternative/fetish photography, he was the first photographer I bothered to remember by name as he was a big inspiration for me. He is definitely on my bucket list of photographers I&#8217;d love to work with.</p> <p><strong>What are your obsessions?</strong><br/> Sci-fi is definitely at the top of my list. From realistic to cheesy, I love it all. Stargate is #1 for me. I also obviously have quite a passion/obsession for photography and all aspects involved in it. Costume and prop making/designing, etc. Comics are high on my list of obsessions also, I have quite a collection these days. Favorites being anything by Terry Moore, Sandman, Batwoman, Tank Girl, and Deadpool.</p> <p>[gallery link=&#8221;file&#8221; columns=&#8221;4&#8221; orderby=&#8221;title&#8221;]</p> <h2 style="text-align: center;">Geek/Video Game Questions</h2> <p><strong>What was your first video game (when, and what console)?</strong><br/> I wasn&#8217;t raised around much for technology, so I can remember the first time I played a video game it was Super Mario Bros. (on NES) at my uncles place and being amazed and played for hours, I was likely around 8 years old.</p> <p><strong>What was your first Table-Top game (and when)?</strong><br/> To be honest I have no idea, I don&#8217;t even know where to begin to guess. Table-top games were far more popular with my family when I was a kid.</p> <p><strong>What is your favorite video game?</strong><br/> Stubbs the Zombie, that game makes me very happy when I play it.<br/> It&#8217;s amusing, simple, and fun; definitely a feel good game.<br/> I love retro style futuristic sci-fi themes and the soundtrack is beautiful.</p> <p><strong>What is your favorite type of video game? (rpg, fps, etc)</strong><br/> Games involving strategy/puzzles such as Legend of Zelda games, Plants vs. Zombies, etc.</p> <p><strong>When did you first realize that you were a geek/nerd?</strong><br/> When all my friends were talking about star wars and I thought it sounded like the coolest thing ever, but my parents wouldn&#8217;t let me watch them because they thought I was too little to watch that type of thing (I was around 6 or 7) so I was upset for a long time about that. Then one day my parents came up to me and said &#8220;We&#8217;ve talked it over and have decided that&#8230; we&#8217;re going to let you watch Star Wars&#8221; and I still can&#8217;t remember many points in my life where I&#8217;ve been this happy. I can vividly remember jumping up and down on the couch crying with joy while saying thank you over and over again. My love of sci-fi has never died down since then, Star Wars was my gateway drug.</p> <p><strong>I&#8217;d like to thank you for your time, and if any photographers, want to talk to you about modeling where should they go?</strong></p> <p>Thank you very much for taking interest in interviewing me,<br/> anyone wanting to see more of my work can find me at these online locations:</p> <p><a href="http://www.facebook.com/ModelDeziDesire" target="_blank"><a href="http://www.facebook.com/ModelDeziDesire">http://www.facebook.com/ModelDeziDesire</a></a><br/><a href="http://dezidesire.deviantart.com/" target="_blank"><a href="http://dezidesire.deviantart.com/">http://dezidesire.deviantart.com/</a></a><br/><a href="http://www.modelmayhem.com/dezidesire" target="_blank"><a href="http://www.modelmayhem.com/dezidesire">http://www.modelmayhem.com/dezidesire</a></a></p> <p class="tumblrize-permalink"><a href="http://www.coinopkids.com/interview-with-dezidesire/" title="Go to original post at Coin-Op Kids" rel="bookmark">Original Article</a></p>http://salemwebguy.tumblr.com/post/30457856783http://salemwebguy.tumblr.com/post/30457856783Wed, 29 Aug 2012 12:00:39 -0400geektumblrizecosplaydezi desiredezidesiregeek girlgeekgirlhotnesssexy<p style="text-align: left;"><em>Today we got to sit down and talk with Dayna Baby Lou, cosplay model and amazing geek!

When that stuck, they then all started calling me Baby Lou (I was never really sure why..but whatevs lol) So eventually it got to the point where they just starting shortening it to Lou? Ya still dunno..So&#8230;When I was trying to think of a good nickname to use&#8230;I just put them all together and find it works :)</p> <p><strong>You have been modeling for a while now. What got you interested in modeling?</strong><br/> I&#8217;ve been modeling since I was a child, but it has never been more fun than it is now! I love to model cosplay and create my own costumes. My biggest interest now is transforming myself into something else&#8230;something different and exciting! that is when I am most excited to be in front of the camera. Getting into character during shooting is a blast! I also love creating imagery with a lot of movement and color!</p> <p><strong>Who is your favorite photographer?</strong><br/> I have a few favs but for cosplay I&#8217;m gonna have to say Edge Photography. They are great friends of mine and also because one of the guys I&#8217;ve known for over 16 years.</p> <p><strong>What are your obsessions?</strong><br/> So many!!

To keep it short the story goes like this: my very first cosplay was Rikku from Final Fantasy X, and, at this restaurant near my house they have a character on the children&#8217;s menu whose name is &#8220;Regina Grape&#8221;. The two ended up getting combined over time and my tag just kind of morphed into RikkuGrape :3</p> <p><strong>You have been modeling for a while now. What got you interested in modeling?</strong></p> <p style="padding-left: 30px;">To be honest I never started out thinking of modeling, I just started making costumes I loved and then wanting to document them as time went on. I never thought I would be capable of being a model. I can be so derby in front of a camera, but having my costumes really helps me embody a character and it can make it a lot of fun too.</p> <p><strong>Who is your favorite photographer?</strong></p> <p style="padding-left: 30px;">My favorite photographer? I don&#8217;t know! But, one of my bestest friends takes majority of the photos of my costumes and I love her and her work. She is such a wonderful person and a truly talented photographer. Plus she puts up with my shenanigans.</p> <p><strong>What are your obsessions?</strong></p> <p style="padding-left: 30px;">Zelda. And dogs. I love them both. A lot. I literally play Zelda games so many times through I am a living walkthrough. A 100% Completion Guide. And dogs. Dogs are so cute! If you ask my friends I am always that weird kid who talks to peoples dogs. Like, if I&#8217;m walking down the street and I see a dog outside of a shop all alone I will pet it and start talking to it. No big deal, right? Well, maybe it is kind of strange but they are so cute I can&#8217;t help it.</p> <p>[gallery link=&#8221;file&#8221; columns=&#8221;4&#8221; orderby=&#8221;title&#8221;]</p> <h2 style="text-align: center;"><strong>Geek/Video Game Questions</strong></h2> <p style="text-align: left;"><strong>What was your first video game (when, and what console)?</strong></p> <p style="padding-left: 30px;">Paper Mario on the N64 was the first game I ever beat all the way through.

It’s an ambitious project that we couldn&#8217;t have made until now!</p> <blockquote><p><em>The Gamers: Hands of Fate is a sequel to The Gamers: Dorkness Rising.</em><br/><em> Dorkness Rising is about a group of table-top gaming friends (Gary, Cass, Leo, &amp; gamemaster Lodge) that are attempting to run through a module that the GM has been working on for what seems like forever. After many tries, they recruit Cass&#8217; ex-girlfriend, Joanna, to try and make a more well-balanced party. The movie hilariously tackles all of those things that gaming groups deal with on a regular basis: rules lawyers, constant bickering, out-of-game knowledge used in-game, and gender discrimination.</em></p> <p><em>The much anticipated sequel The Gamers: Hands of Fate reunites this group as they take a vacation to Gen Con and try to rekindle their love of gaming together, and finish the adventure they&#8217;d started many years ago.</em><br/><em> It further delves into the problems that all gaming groups eventually go through, including growing apart because of life getting in the way.</em></p> <p><em>I was lucky enough to be able to work with all of the wonderful people on this project as they filmed at Gen Con 2012. I have never met a more hilarious, caring, and talented group of people in my entire life. This movie is one that all gamers not only should see, but NEED to see. Everyone will find a bit of themselves hiding in at least one of the main cast, and maybe learn how to handle all of those intriguing, yet frustrating, situations we all deal with as gamers.</em></p></blockquote> <p>via <a href="http://www.kickstarter.com/projects/zombieorpheus/the-gamers-hands-of-fate/" target="_blank">Kickstarter</a></p> <p class="tumblrize-permalink"><a href="http://www.coinopkids.com/geekstarter-the-gamers-hands-of-fate/" title="Go to original post at Coin-Op Kids" rel="bookmark">Original Article</a></p>http://salemwebguy.tumblr.com/post/30121600145http://salemwebguy.tumblr.com/post/30121600145Fri, 24 Aug 2012 16:48:42 -0400tumblrtumblrizefeature filmhelpindiegogokickstartertabletop<p>Hello my fellow nerds.

Take RC Pro-Am for the NES, change the cars into Harleys, and then throw a bunch of thug-like mice onto those bikes and there you have it. It&#8217;s pretty much a carbon copy of the ideas and gameplay found in RC Pro-Am, with the over-the-top weirdness of the Biker Mice theme tossed into the mix. Now while this might seem annoying for gamers who were never able to come to grips with the odd control scheme found in RC Pro-Am, for those who did enjoy the NES classic, this game is like riding a bike - literally.</em></p> <p><a href="http://www.coinopkids.com/retro-review-biker-mice-from-mars-snes/large-1-2/" rel="attachment wp-att-4417"><img class="alignleft size-full wp-image-4417" style="margin: 10px;" title="large (1)" src="http://www.coinopkids.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/08/large-1.jpg" alt="" width="256" height="224"/></a>Biker Mice basically has three modes of play. The main game is where you race against the other bikers in order to earn prize money and purchase upgrades for your bike. Think of this as the &#8220;story&#8221; mode, in which you basically work your way up the ranks as you win races and increase the speed and handling of your bike, not to mention purchase better weaponry that can be used to take competing bikers out on the race track. This is what would be considered the &#8220;meat&#8221; of the game, and in all honesty, the most enjoyable part of the game.</p> <p>Next up is the battle mode. Here&#8217;s where you can take on other players in an all-out shootfest. Think of it as a quirky version of the battle mode in Super Mario Kart, only minus the balloons. It&#8217;s actually very well thought-out and offers some good fun if you can round up some competition.</p> <p>Last, and certainly the least, is the practice mode. This is basically your chance to practice the many tracks of the game without any interference from other riders. This does come in quite handy for the later levels in the game, but since most of the tracks are fairly standard in design, you shouldn&#8217;t need a lot of practice anyway.</p> <p><a href="http://www.coinopkids.com/retro-review-biker-mice-from-mars-snes/large-2/" rel="attachment wp-att-4418"><img class="alignright wp-image-4418" style="margin: 10px;" title="large (2)" src="http://www.coinopkids.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/08/large-2.jpg" alt="" width="230" height="202"/></a>It&#8217;s worth mentioning that the controls do take some getting used to since the control of the bike is always the same no matter which direction you&#8217;re currently facing in the 3/4 viewpoint setup. That being said, after awhile you&#8217;ll find the controls second-nature once you&#8217;ve gotten a handle on them. The gameplay certainly isn&#8217;t going to set any new standards as far as innovation goes, but its simplicity gets the job done nicely and gives the game a distinct feel that will appeal to gamers looking for something a little different.</p> <p>While the visuals in Biker Mice from Mars certainly aren&#8217;t as good as those found in many other SNES titles, they seem to fit in with the unusual theme of the game perfectly. Everything from tropical island surroundings to underground sewers can be found in the game, and each new area has its own distinct look to it that keeps the game feeling fresh throughout the wild ride. Since the game is presented in a 3/4 style viewpoint, you won&#8217;t find any fancy Mode-7 effects, which does keep the game looking smooth as it scrolls along, even at some of the more brisk paces. So while the graphics aren&#8217;t what you might call cutting edge, they&#8217;re more than adequate to carry to outrageous theme the game employs.</p> <p><img class="wp-image-4420 alignleft" style="margin: 10px;" title="large" src="http://www.coinopkids.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/08/large.jpg" alt="" width="230" height="202"/></p> <p>Luckily the music in the game is almost as insane as the visual stylings. The synthesized techno/rock hybrid musical score sounds right at home in this game and does a good job of keeping with the up-tempo feel of the game. It&#8217;s worth mentioning that the voice acting in the game is a little over-the-top, but much like everything else in the game, it just seems to fit. Trust us, you&#8217;ll be hearing the &#8220;Let&#8217;s Rock &amp; Ride!&#8221; going through your head long after you&#8217;ve put the controller down. The only real gripe that could be leveled against the game&#8217;s audio performance would be that the game&#8217;s many musical selections could have used a little more variety, as after a few hours of playing the game, they all begin to sound alike.</p> <p><strong><br/></strong><strong>Conclusion</strong><br/> Sometimes it&#8217;s nice to see a game that&#8217;s just purely outrageous and doesn&#8217;t take itself too seriously. Sure the control system is going to turn off some racing game purists expecting a more standard gameplay experience, but those who can appreciate something a little different are likely to find the game an enjoyable diversion from the usual racing fare on the console. The game isn&#8217;t going to revolutionize the racing game genre, but what it lacks in innovation, it more than makes up for in charm and personality.</p> <p class="tumblrize-permalink"><a href="http://www.coinopkids.com/retro-review-biker-mice-from-mars-snes/" title="Go to original post at Coin-Op Kids" rel="bookmark">Original Article</a></p>http://salemwebguy.tumblr.com/post/30108352892http://salemwebguy.tumblr.com/post/30108352892Fri, 24 Aug 2012 12:37:25 -0400tumblrtumblrizebiker micebiker mice from marsRetro Gamesretro reviewSNESSuper Nintendo<h2 style="text-align: center;"><strong><img class="alignright" style="margin: 10px;" title="i-SteamPole-Final-web" src="http://www.coinopkids.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/08/i-SteamPole-Final-web-343x450.jpg" alt="" width="240" height="315"/>Modeling Questions</strong></h2> <p><strong>How did you get the name handle/gamertag:</strong></p> <p style="padding-left: 30px;">Leen Isabel is the pen-name I use as an illustrator and cosplayer.

I loved being a human pretzel. :) Joking aside, I&#8217;ve never actually played a table-top war-game or role-playing game! I do have friends who are trying to convert me. If I weren&#8217;t so busy, I&#8217;d give it a shot!</p> <p><strong>What is your favorite video game?</strong></p> <p style="padding-left: 30px;">Has and always will be Super Puzzle Fighter II Turbo!</p> <p><strong>What is your favorite type of video game? (rpg, fps, etc)</strong></p> <p style="padding-left: 30px;">Puzzle, RPG, Action-Adventure, Racing, FPS!</p> <p><strong>When did you first realize that you were a geek/nerd?</strong></p> <p style="padding-left: 30px;">Geek culture was something I grew up with from having two amazing brothers in my life. They taught me everything from learning the DC/Marvel universe to coding my own website at 10 years old. Mecha, Star Trek, Magic the Gathering, Anime &#8212; you name it. It was always a part of my life!</p> <p><strong>I&#8217;d like to thank you for your time, and if any photographers, want to talk to you about modeling where should they go?</strong></p> <p style="padding-left: 30px;">Check out my website at <a href="http://www.leenisabel.com" target="_blank"><a href="http://www.leenisabel.com">www.leenisabel.com</a></a> and come like my <a href="https://www.facebook.com/LeenIsabelArtist" target="_blank">Facebook</a> page!<br/> Thank you for chatting with me!</p> <p><strong>Featured Photographers</strong></p> <p style="padding-left: 30px;">Chun-li Cosplay - <a href="http://www.nhoinla.com/" target="_blank">Nguyen Dong</a><br/> Poison Cosplay - <a href="http://www.nhoinla.com/" target="_blank">Nguyen Dong</a><br/> Ada Wong Cosplay -<a href="https://www.facebook.com/thesosb" target="_blank"> Sean Otis Spann Barley</a></p> <p class="tumblrize-permalink"><a href="http://www.coinopkids.com/interview-with-leen-isabel/" title="Go to original post at Coin-Op Kids" rel="bookmark">Original Article</a></p>http://salemwebguy.tumblr.com/post/30103993745http://salemwebguy.tumblr.com/post/30103993745Fri, 24 Aug 2012 11:00:33 -0400tumblrtumblrizecosplaycosplay girlsCosplay InterviewcosplaygirlshotnessLeen Isabelsexy<p>A few weeks ago we posted about some <a title="Doctor Who Nesting Dolls" href="http://www.coinopkids.com/doctor-who-nesting-dolls/">Doctor Who</a> nesting dolls.
