TechEBlog found another retrosexual video of people reviving classic games in gigantic proportions. Developed by Douglas Edric Stanley, this huge Gameworld exhibition just launched at the Laboral Art Center in Gijón, Spain. Running from now until June 30, 2007, random visitors can digitally defend the room by moving their arms out over the edge of the railings, and the display will fire corresponding shots at the floating foes on the opposing wall. Only a few people in the video were willing to make a fool of themselves, but it looks like there's no limit to how many shots you can fire at once. Douglas's design actually started back in 2001, as a creative way of coping with the World Trade Center disaster:

"I emulated the original Space Invaders, and added the possibility of using a simple flashlight or car headlights to control the movement of the lone defender. I’ve been experimenting projecting the game directly onto buildings such as the Marseille World Trade Center, where any common citizen can come and defend the world against alien invaders from the sky."

It's about time someone thought up a positive use for video game violence. If the two World Trade Center buildings knew how to play Pong they could have just bounced the terrorist planes back and forth until the Atari Air Force showed up.

Long time TheLastBoss readers will remember the "stripper sized NES" from months ago. Looks like someone finally tracked down the stripper that fits inside, here she is trying to play old school games with buttons the size of her hands. It's cool seeing a giant NES and NES controller, but what I really want to see is a two story NES light gun. This controller isn't really functional, but if it was I'd try to use it like a DDR pad. We've seen someone beat Super Mario Bros. using their feet, but if it took a whole foot just to run and another just to jump, could you speed run the game and manage a triple A rating? I'd go straight for Paranoia World 8-2 and start stomping.

This used to be one of my all time favorite TV shows, right next to the Mario cartoon and that crazy Nickelodeon arcade game show where the winners got sucked into an arcade and had to wave their arms around blindly in front of a green screen to win the grand prize. Years have passed and all I can remember is one episode where Captain N found a cheat and got to walk off a roof on an invisible bridge, but I've always wanted to see the show again just to see how terrible it was and how video game bias I was in my early years of television.

It's probably not worth the money, but if you're up for some retro-spending, TheBBPS noticed that the TV show is on now on DVD for unlimited Nintendo nostalgia. You can find it on Amazon.com for 23 bucks here.

This is the most dedicated fire hazard gaming has ever known. These gamers not only set up over 200 candles, they also used them as individual pixels to film a stop motion recreation of retro classics like Pac-Man, Tetris, Pong, and more. The first few seconds is just setting it all up, but as soon as the lights go out the 8-bit music kicks in and the fake games come to life. The ending doesn't deliver an inferno followed by fireman like I was hoping for, but it's still done well. For more of the maker's clay-motion artwork, check out their homepage here.

Your Easter looks like this. Insert Credit found these chocolate candy bars on eBay - the NES game dessert sold for almost $50 bucks, but the NES controller only sold for $15 since it looks like it would probably melt in your hand and not your mouth. What will the retro gamers come up with next? We've seen an NES shoe and a stripper sized NES, but I have yet to see an NES that actually works every time. If Ben Heck could fix mine to never deliver a blinking light demanding a blowjob then I would be forever grateful.

Your bathroom looks like this. It's a slow news day, so let's take one last retro look at gamer fashion before getting back to the important stuff. TheBBPS found a true retro-gamer bathroom, with pictures to prove it. This GameJunkie store public restroom uses porcelain wall tiles to recreate entire Ms. Pac-Man sprites pixel by pixel. Add some authentic Pac-Man towels to the room, plus a blanket for the baby, and you've got yourself an entire Trading Spaces worthy Pac-Man ensemble.

You've all seen them before, but you've never seen this many in one place. From Mario to Halo to Zelda to Final Fantasy to Bubble Bobble to the infamous Pac Man butt crack tattoo to NES guns, there's enough body ink in this gallery to make even Michael Jackson look pretty. A FF7 tattoo ironically scored 7th on the 25 list, which was judged based on how large and colorful the tattoos were, how obscure the related games were, and the 'WTF is that' factor of certain body tattoo placement. And pain. The winner of them all had to hurt like a Chain Chomp, but it was worth it!

If you have any gaming tattoos of your own, feel free to send them in to get seen. Or if you found a tattoo you think is badass enough to jump onto this Top 25 list then that works too, I challenge you to wow my retinas with retro love!

Update 1: Now's your last chance to send in your gamer tattoos. I got a bunch of submissions and will be posting them all late tomorrow (Tuesday) night. So far I've received some really cool ones that even deserve to dethrone a few of the top 25 winners. Check back tomorrow to see some more amazing gamer skin art.

From #25 to #1, here they are:
