Turn Any Floor into an 8-bit Video Game Map with These Tiles

Posted on by

Sometimes I really miss those old epic quest RPG gaming titles like The Legend of Zelda. Nothing today really captures the excitement I felt back then while playing those games. These Quest 8-bit Mats sets from JBox are the perfect way to relive those old games. Plus, you can cross the entire map in like a few steps. That would have taken forever in game.

Each set sells for just $6.85(USD) and comes with four blocks: two base tiles and two “special” tiles. They measure about 1-foot square by 1.5-inch thick, and are made from foam, so they should last awhile and are light weight. Each mat features something different. Some have fields, boulders, bricks and even treasure boxes.

If you buy a few sets, there’s really no reason you can’t have a huge game of D&D on your floor. Just plop some figures down and you’ll be playing.

Posted on by

If you want to broaden your horizons and take care of your health by stretching and doing yoga, you don’t have to give up your manliness. These yoga accessories for dudes can help.

Brogamats are yoga mats and bags that are more manly than the usual fare. You can choose from a burrito, a red flannel lumberjack, or a log yoga bag, then fill it with a yoga mat that looks like quiver full of arrows.

Don’t let anyone question your manliness just because you are in a room full of stretching women. Embrace your manliness. Also, try not to fart and embarrass yourself when you’re in Downward Facing Dog. All of that stretching is bound to release some gas.

Roll out the Red Carpet with These Paper Mario and Toad Rugs

Posted on by

If your personal Mushroom Kingdom has hardwood or tile floors, you know it can get pretty cold under your feet – especially this time of year. So why not warm up your tootsies courtesy of Super Paper Mario?

These 18″ x 20″ low-pile rugs are officially being called “mats” so I’m not sure exactly how plush they’ll feel, but at least your floor look much better with Paper Mario and Paper Toad hanging out on them. Both rugs are coming from Japanese collectibles maker FuRyu this April, and you can pre-order now over on NCSX for $18.90(USD) each or $35.90 for the pair.

Blandito Convertible Sleeping Mat Turns You into a Human Burrito

Posted on by

Love lounging around? Love burritos? Then you’ll most likely love the Blandito, or at least the thought that went behind it.

Blandito

The Blandito is basically a giant pita-shaped sleeping mat that looks extremely cushy and comfortable. It’s convertible, too. Just twist it this way and that and tie it shut to wrap yourself (and your significant other) into a warm embrace.

The Blandito isn’t available for purchase yet, although you can bookmark its page on Behance and check back often for updates. This stop-motion video shows all the ways the Blandito can be folded, wrapped, and twisted into shape:
