8-Bit Question Block Lamp

Perhaps one of the coolest real-life videogame integrations is this 8-Bit Question Block Lamp from the Super Mario Bros. series. The lamp is an homage to the ubiquitous golden blocks scattered throughout Nintendo’s classic game, which mimics both the 8-bit graphic looks and sound effects when illuminated; tap the bottom and you’re met with actual in-game effects and sporadic “1UP” sound. Fans can pick up a Question Block from 8BitLit’s Etsy page for $75.

The Hundreds Peaks Tee

How epic is the photo at the front of this tee?  It was taken through the lens of The Hundreds very own Bobby Hundreds, and it’s got a bit of a double meaning.  Peaks and valleys could be translated into ups and downs, or highs and lows.  It’s what everyone experiences throughout their lives, right?  There’s a Solid Bomb logo at top back and it’s available in black, white and banana.
