Capcom Opens Capcom Themed Bar/Restaurant

Seen here looking suspiciously like dog food nuggets held together with blood (my favorite!), several of the video game themed offerings from Cap-Bar, Capcom’s soon-to-open bar in Shinjuku, Tokyo, have been revealed. The bar will feature new game demo kiosks, merchandise for sale, and booze. Some other dishes on the menu? Hold on to your palate!: - Ace Attorney pasta and rice - Monster Hunter allaculte and meat - Devil Kings salad and soup AHAHAHHAHAHAHHA! None of those have ANYTHING to do with video games except for the title. It’s like me trying to sell Geekologie sandwiches. “What about it makes it so Geekologie?” Oh you know, just the name… “Mmmm, this actually really good!” …plus I made it after going to the bathroom and not washing my hands. Just kidding! *continue eating* I did spit in it though. Hit the jump for questionable shots of the other three (although the meat does remind me of the bait you have to give the hungry Goriya in the Legend of Zelda for him to let you pass).

Gingerbread typewriter is entirely edible

Patti from Baked Ideas made this amazing edible gingerbread typewriter for benefit of City Harvest, and it is displayed at NYC’s Parker Meridien Hotel. So. typewriter came to mind a sort of gingerbread house for the letters that live inside!! Christmas unplugged, a letter to santa, grannys laptop it was fun to think about. First we made a model of the typewriter in cardboard, and then baked all the parts and crafted the roller, paper and metal keys out of sugar paste. The glue is royal icing, and cookies, stacked up, are the inner supports. The keyboard letters are cookies, iced in ivory and trimmed in silver. The iced gingerbread alphabet letters are frolicking in the sugar snow, sometimes spelling out words (fun, skip, eat, joy.) I am glad we chose to make a typewriter. It is an image that is a reminder of a simpler time wintery, happy and unexpected. I hope both kids and adults enjoy looking at it. Its 100% edible, down to the rice paper ribbon.

Radium infuser for drinking water

I’ve blogged old radium-based health product ads before , but this one is a bit of a cake-stealer: the Revigator, sold in the 1920s, was a uranium-infused crock that you filled with drinking water so that it could be made radioactive prior to imbibing. The glazed ceramic jar had a porous lining that incorporated uranium ore. Water inside the jar would absorb the radon released by decay of the radium in the ore. Depending on the type of water, the resulting radon concentrations would range from a few hundred to a few hundred thousand picocuries per liter. Considerable confusion persists about the correct pronunciation of “Revigator.” The solution can be found in the question-and-answer section of a 1928 sales brochure of the Revigator Water Jar Company. The answer: “re-vig-a-tor. Accent on the vig.” Produced by the Radium Ore Revigator Company (aka the Revigator Water Jar Company) of San Francisco California. Although the address on the jar itself is 260 California Street, their headquarters were at Sutter and Taylor in the Revigator Building which is still there. Their Hayward offices were located at 519 Castro Street, and 641 Castro Street. Some of their regional offices included the following addresses: Today’s radium WTF

Yoda Advertising Ramen Noodles In Japan

Because 900-year old Jedi masters can’t survive on Dagobah swamp stew and dragonlizard dicks alone, here’s Yoda in a Japanese advertisement for Nissin Cup Noodles .

Gallery Of Geek Logos Made Out Of FOOOOD

This is a gallery of geeky logos made out of food . They’re called ‘”foogos”, because they’re a combination of “food” and “LEGOS”. Weird, I know. But I’m not here to ask questions, I’m just here to type the first thing that pops in my head and get drunk. Also, please don’t email me telling me foogos is actually a combination of “food” and ” logos ” because you might laugh now but I swear on eventually seeing a tit IRL I’d get at least two people who just stumbled into Geekologie telling me how dumb I am. And I am dumb, just not that dumb. But, as stupid as I am, I more than make up for it in handsome. And by handsome I mean obesity. Got a whole lot of that going on. Now, what was I talking about? “Food.” Ha — of course I was . Hit the jump for a dozen more.

World Of Warcraft ‘Epic Meal Time’ Parody

This is a parody of an Epic Meal Time episode in the World of Warcraft . They did a pretty good job. Plus at the end there’s a chick with cotton candy hair eating something while making faces. That part was confusing. Actually, it was all confusing. Not gonna lie folks, I’m not very smart. SIKE! I got an 84 on my IQ test — that’s a solid B! *raising the roof* “The test goes to 180 — that’s not very high.” Oh man, I was though . I told them my name was Batman and ate two pencil erasers. Hit the jump for the video.

Ice-cube molds shaped like penguins and polar bears standing on ice-bergs

I love these “polar ice” molds from the Japanese site Monos; they resemble penguins and polar bears perched on icebergs, and are balanced so they stay upright in your drink. ( via Super Punch )

Mmmm, Printer Jam: 3-D Printable Food Closer To Reality, My Gaping Face-Hole

Mmmm, boogers a la baby doodoo — my favorite! Printable food : because who wants a human being touching meals with those grubby-ass fingernails of theirs when it can be squirted out a nozzle in paste form? Mmm, paste. Enter Cornell’s Creative Machines Lab, which is apparently on the leading edge of printable food technology because, remember: being the only one doing something automatically makes you the best at it . “And worst.” Dammit Debbie Downer, I was trying to sound inspirational! The CCML food printers require edible inks and electronic blueprints called FabApps. This machine prints food using multiple cartridges, going line by line until the desired shape is extruded. “The electronic blueprint specifies exactly which materials go where–it is essentially a blueprint of the food item,” says Hod Lipson, the head of the lab. With most 3-D food printing concepts today, the inks are the foods themselves in fluid form–think molten chocolate, cheese, or cookie dough. Foods that can’t be readily extruded from a syringe such as meats and vegetables are ground and mixed with other liquids to create novel food-inks. Essential Dynamics, a tech startup in New York, plans to bring out a commercial version of the 3-D food printer that will retail for $1,000 initially. Its founder Jamil Yosefzai believes that the desire to customize foods will make 3-D food printers an essential part of everyone’s kitchen in due course. Call me crazy, but…”YOU’RE F***ING NUTS, BRO!” Okay from everybody else’s continued silence I’m gonna assume you realize that was actually meant to be a rhetorical ‘call me crazy’ and you feel stupid for yelling now. “I’M NOT STUPID YOU’RE STUPID, I’LL CUT YOUR ASS!” Ugh, my point was this Ragey McFlyoffthehandle: I’d rather take my chances with a chef not washing his hands than have my meals extruded out of a Play-Doh Fun Factory. Know what I’m sayin’? I’m saying I’ve already eaten enough Play-Doh for six lifetimes. Ramen by HP? The Wild Possibilities Of Printing Food [fastcompany] via Printable food is coming [dvice] Thanks to my buddy Clark, who’s never printed food before but did write, “KEEP GOBBLING THOSE WIENERS!” on my birthday cake in icing one year.
