Tuesday Images from the net

With the beginning of the week I'd like to bring a new feature to idiosyncrasy Today. Tuesdays I will be posting images found around the net with small blurbs about them. A slight departure but there is some really odd things out amidst the tubes.

First up is a paper origami figure of D0g from Half-Life. The project was a 50 hour undertaking by a 4channer by the name Chamoo232. Over on /po/ is a full compliment of images. The craftsmanship on this piece is pretty awesome. I tip my hat to you sir.

Note: The link will only be good for so long as 4chan cycles through its content, if you want to see the images check it out soon, otherwise just post a request for the images on the board, I'm sure someone will help you out.

Next up is an article I found over at Gizmodo where a guy made a huge version of the classic SNES controller out of wood, plastic, wires and love.

The whole project took a few months and the outcome was nothing if not successful as the larger than life controller is fully functional. Nothing says hardcore like whipping out a 50 pound SNES controller to whoop on your college dorm-mates in Street Fighter 2 Turbo.

Check the link to see all the images of the build and a mug of the dedicated soul who brought it to life.

And finally a tried a true internet humor as ingrained in current web culture as a l0lcats. This cake was ordered by a guy in Texas. And while the actual order requested a cube cake apparently the woman at the confectionery thought that square and cube were the same. That being said the cake is still pretty fantastic, and most certainly not a lie as it is purported to be moist and delicious.
