Videogame-themed soap is hot right now. Pregnancy tests? Not so much.

Cultural Blips:


Keep yourself clean via a Master Chief rub down. Don’t fancy Tetris soap? No worries — slather yourself up with Halo’s Master Chief. Just don’t get too excited now — keep it clean, folks. Really clean. [GeekyGadgets]

 

Puffa Puffa Puffa: Pac-Man zippos light up our lungs. Compulsive eating, pill-popping — you’d think Namco would stop shilling these disgusting habits to gamers, right? Of course not: Just look at how cool these Pac-Man-themed zippos are. Man, we can’t wait to cough our lungs out! [GameSetWatch]

 

Laundry simulator like the real thing only 100% less productive. If you dig doing the laundry as much as we do, check out this flash game dedicated to the clothes-cleaning ritual. Can’t wait for the sequel: Garbage Day! [Newgrounds]

Mega Man’s notso-exciting day job is a TPS report’s nightmare. Every wonder what Mega Man does when he’s not battling evil robots? Answering phones. And generally creeping out everyone around him. [TinyCartridge]
