Read Your 8-bit Future on 8-bit Tarot Cards

by Jay Garrett on August 5, 2009

8_bit_tarot_cardsMost people will have at least heard of Tarot cards – when I had the time I learned to read them and actually gave readings to a load of friends.

I use a traditional Rider-Waite deck but the geek in me was drawn to this cool spin on the Tarot card.

This modern reworking is what happens when the ancient mysteries collide with classic Nintendo Entertainment System graphics.

The cards are actually based on the Rider-Waite Tarot Deck and each illustration was made with an 88×152 resolution “using only the colors in the default 9-bit Mac OS color palette.”

Never realised that there was a 9-bit version ;)

The set includes a 78-card deck in “an 8-bit cardboard keepsake box.” Available for $29.99 from ThinkGeek.

pacman-bandagesPerhaps it’s the fact that it’s 1am and the quantity of booze and chili’s I’ve ingested are starting to take effect – but I reckon that these Pacman plasters discovered on Geeksugar are fab!

So, the next time you cut yourself trying to free your latest gadget from its plastic cocoon – why not use one of these totally awesome Pacman Bandages?

These fun Pacman bandages come in a “collectible tin” that contains 15 geeky elastoplast-esque bandages in 3 retro-funky designs.

All it will cost you is $9 from Fred Flare – at that price why wait for a cut?
