These cupcakes simply blew me away. And I’m proud to report that I was able to name 92 of the 100 game titles they represent. Click the image to the right for a detailed view.

My favorite, you ask? Definitely the Battleship design on the top-right group, although Laura Croft’s bust on the bottom-left drew the eye. The attention to detail and creativity is simply remarkable on all of them.

Try to name all the game titles yourself then check out the original Flickr post from Z Andrei to see the answers. If you’ll excuse me, I’m off to find a cupcake and someone who will accept my Hungry Hungry Hippo ghallenge.

My favorite Christmas gift this year was the Predator UAV scale model Jennifer surprised me with. At first it seemed rather random – I mean, who gets a scale model replica of an unmanned aerial vehicle and how did Jennifer know I would like it so much?

As it turns out, the old lady doesn’t exactly tune out once I start playing video games. She told me that she overheard “UAV online” and “friendly Predator missile inbound” so often during my Modern Warfare 2 sessions that when she saw the Predator UAV model at Hobby Lobby during one of her crafty shopping sprees, she had to get it. Good call, no doubt…and the fact that she heard those phrases so often from my Xbox Live matches is a strong indication of my stellar FPS abilities.

In our quest to track down a copy of Super Mario Bros. for the Wii last weekend Jennifer, Tona and I were reminded of just how close we are to the subtle, western beauties that I wish were more discoverable in and around Denver, CO.

We never did get a copy of the game but our travels gifted me this snapshot of our diminishing cow town aura. Yeehaw.
