Until ten years ago, I had no idea what an ocarina was. In fact, it was some time after the Zelda game was released that I found out that it was an actual instrument, not something created solely for a video game. Well the instruments are real, and there is a real shop in St. Louis that is making a killing...

If you happen to have $175 burning a hole in your pocket, there are a lot of ways to spend it. You could buy almost 3 brand new current-gen games, perhaps a full Rock Band bundle, or maybe a DS and a game. Oh, then there’s always this strange Mario T-Shirt.

The issue seemed to be with reading the discs, as the title was the first to use dual-layer DVDs. Nintendo claimed that the problem was that the lens was simply dirty (caused by dust and...

Etsy is always a great spot to find handmade stuff, even modified electronics. The seller Echostatic has two controllers up for sale that have been modified so that they will work on your computer.
