I already have the Weighted Companion Cube one on my desk, beside the Weighted Companion Cube plush under the shelf with the Portal papercraft all thanks to a girlfriend who understood why I loved Portal as much as I did.

I made my own Weighted Companion Cube for my SO - it's 12" square and makes an excellent cushion when watching films.

Love this stuff. The day it occurred to me to do a tag search on Ravelry for "mario" was a great one.

Really clever Bob-omb bag. Mike Tyson's Punch-Out scarf (sold already, alas). Kung Fu pillow. Space Invaders sock pattern. Space Invaders yoked sweater. Piranha plant amigurumi. World 1 map from SMB3 in cross stitch...and crochet. World 2 in progress. Game Boy Color Zelda map. Link. Ice Climbers potholders. Prince of All Cosmos blanket. Katamari hat. Other Katamari hat. Queen Katamari hat. Ichigo hat. Magnetic Katamari pattern. Guitar Hero scarf - pictured is "Killer Queen" and there's a tutorial along with the patterns here. Mudkip. A shitton of nicely done Pokemon amigurumi with patterns.

Holy crap, I didn't even know Perler and Hama beads were still around - but of course they are. Mushrooms. Sprites. Metroid. That goddamn dog from Duck Hunt.

I appropriated the eigh bit aesthetic for crafty knitware projects before you did. (Cat And Girl, not me - I'm not this crafty.)
