Geek Art Day: Arcade Proganda
Today is Geek Art Day! The day where I post all the geeky art I’ve been meaning to post.
There really isn’t enough geek-based propaganda today. Post these suckers up in your local arcades and the kids will pump every quarter they can find into the games out of fear. Support the plumbers of perish under the wrath of Kong!

The Most Epic Mario Art Ever Created
This is a polystyrene block statue by Kordian Lewandowski titled Game Over. It mirrors the famous Pietá by Michelangelo, in which the Virgin Mary is shown cradling the dead body of Jesus. Keep reading to see a picture of the Pieta and a picture that gives you an idea of how big Lewandowski’s art is.
Mario’s Inferno
This is the Dante’s Inferno Super Bowl commercial….with Mario. I’m not sure why but it seems more epic this way. Hit the jump for the original commercial.
It’s Hard to be a Boss
This video just made me feel great about myself. All by myself I was able to beat all their minions and defeat the boss. Nothing could stop me. Nothing!

Heart Warming Mario Commercial
This is an fan-made commercial for Super Mario Galaxy combining all the Mario games together with some very beautiful music. It is sure to melt your heart or at the very least make it grown three sizes. I have to say this video makes me want to pick up the game more then any advertisements Nintendo has put out. If he has more like that, he is sure to find work fairly easy.

Browser was totally hitting Peach
We all had our suspicions if Browser was getting any all those times he kidnapped Princess Peach, after all he had to have gone after her for a reason. Well apparently in Super Mario Sunshine Bowser Jr., Bowser’s youngest child, rescued “Mama Peach” from the bad Mario man. Later Bowser tells Jr that Peach isn’t really his mom, but you can hear when Jr tells Mario you can hear the uncertainty in her voice like she was asking herself if she really did get knocked up. You imagine she would notice having Bowser’s kid, but you know she wasn’t just hanging out every time she gets captured. Hit the jump for the big reveal.
