So you’ve all probably already seen this Mario wedding cake created by Robin at Gateaux Inc.:
Now check out the new one it inspired from Beth over at Let them Eat Cake who was commissioned by another lovely couple for their wedding:
The best part of this one are fine touches like the Mario Kart rainbow road made out of a hard candy (like a lollipop) and detailed areas like this one:
or this one:
Totally awesome. For more pics, see the original post on CakeWrecks.BlogSpot.com.

Feeling guilty about the 27 Tuaca shots you downed last weekend at the company party? Take some Advil and do a good deed by showing your love and support for Becky “Aktrez” Young – founder of the Girls Entertainment Network (GEN) and sweetheart of the gaming world. On October 19th, GEN and Hollywire.com are partnering up to walk the streets of Disneyland/California Adventure to raise money for CHOC (Childrens Hospital of Orange County).
Here’s the scoop from Aktrez:
For those who know me, you know that I have the spirit of a 10 year old in the body of a 29 year old. On top of it, losing my mother to cancer has opened my eyes to the pain and struggle that people go through on a daily basis while dealing with this, and other diseases. It is an amazing battle to watch an adult fight and to imagine a child struggling through it is heartwrenching.
That’s why I am so very excited to be participating in this AMAZING event called the CHOC WALK.
On Sunday, October 19, I will be one of over 12,000 men, women, and children of all ages joining together to support Children’s Hospital of Orange County (CHOC) during a Sunday morning stroll through Disneyland.
This year promises to be a spectacular event! I am helping CHOC in its mission to nurture, advance and protect the health and well-being of children by walking in this year’s CHOC/Disneyland Resort Walk in the Park. You can help me help CHOC by sponsoring me. Together we can make a difference in the lives of thousands of children.
Thank you for your consideration in sponsoring me and I hope you will join me as I help CHOC.

So apparently I’ve had my head buried in the Sands of Time for the last few months because I totally did NOT get the memo about Jake Gyllenhaal playing Prince Dastan in Disney’s upcoming Prince of Persia movie. For those of you who didn’t know, now you do. And for those of you who already knew, here’s a picture of Jake in all of his yumminess on set. The movie is set to release in May 2010.

Atarimatt makes quarter-pumpin’ arcade punk with two Atari 2600 consoles flinging pixilated cyberscience at you with pop-locking beats and pocket calculator algorithms.
great unwashed luminaries smokes you up with dragon dice-rolling electro-prog, washing you in analog oceans while grooving you to the robotic motorik.
Sinkhole Texas Inc. has brought these two dudes together on a new EP: I Was a Teenage Metalhead that will rock your nerdy molecules so hard, you’ll be sweating pixels. The 5 track disc features two exclusive tracks from each artist and then each one remixes of Atarimatt’s classic cut “Commuter.” So what do these two rhythm masters have to say about eachother?
“great unwashed luminaries makes me want to break out the Tron sack for real.”
“Atarimatt makes me want to do the robot infront of other people without shame, for realz.”
Rad.
The disc starts out with Space Squid Shakedown by Atarimatt (AM) – a track that for some reason makes me visualize two old school GameBoys lying next to each other on chargers talking about their day. Then it moves into one of my two favorite tracks: Bodyrocking by great unwashed luminaries (GUL). This one makes me want to dance like no one’s looking while wearing crazy, purple 80s shades. Track three – The Electric Monsters (AM) – sounds like a boss battle involving 8-bit flame-throwing dragons, and a knight with a broken battle axe. Track four – Silence Sea & Sky by great unwashed luminaries – sounds like the song you’d hear as racing robots crossed the finish line. This moves into my second favorite track on the album by Atarimatt: his Logan 5 remix of Commuter. I freaking love this remix. If nerds had a dance club, this would be one of the top songs requested. There’d be people drinking Red Bull and doing the robot all over that freaking dance floor. That brings us to the last track – the Unwashed Remix of Commuter by GUL. This is the kind of song you hear when you’re walking through a dark room, see a bunch of health packs and ammo and know that if you go through the doors, you are about to be in one helluva battle.
This is a great disc and best of all… IT’S ONLY TWO BUCKS! So you have no excuse not to buy it. It even comes with 3 totally awesome stickers: one for Atarimatt, one for great unwashed luminaries and one for Sinkhole Texas Inc. that looks like it says SHIT. Neat.

The AC/DC LIVE: Rock Band Track Pack will be available this November in the US and throughout Europe, Australia and New Zealand beginning in early December. The live recording was specially remixed for Rock Band by Mike Fraser and features 18 tracks:
“Thunderstruck”
“Shoot to Thrill”
“Back in Black”
“Hell Ain’t a Bad Place to Be”
“Heatseeker”
“Fire Your Guns”
“Jailbreak”
“The Jack”
“Dirty Deeds Done Dirt Cheap”
“Moneytalks”
“Hells Bells”
“High Voltage”
“Whole Lotta Rosie”
“You Shook Me All Night Long”
“T.N.T.”
“Let There Be Rock”
“Highway To Hell”
“For Those About to Rock (We Salute You)”
Now, I understand that AC/DC is a good rock band. I enjoy some of their songs after a few beers ($2 PBRs) in the right setting (drunk). But I’ve gotta say that every time I hear either Bon Scott or Brian Johnson, I can’t help but think of Donald Duck.
