Video Game Book Covers Make You Look Much More Literate
I’m sure your bookshelves are chockful of the classics. Mine, on the other hand have nothing but graphic novels, video games Blu-ray discs and DVDs. Oh, and a bunch of collectible toys and robots. I suppose I’m not that well-read these days thanks to the advent of the internet, and numerous other digital distractions. At least I can LOOK like I’m more of a bookworm if I outfit all of my games with these covers.
These custom covers by video game lover JamesBit are perfect for making your game discs look like books. James has come up with a design that’s reminiscent of Penguin Books‘ iconic minimal style, but with an Atari 2600 controller in place of the penguin.
Six bucks will get you a set of three covers, customized to your specific video games and discs. For that price, you’ll only get a PDF that you need to print out yourself, but James does the hard work of making it look good, filling in the design template and prepping the PDF for you. If you have a ton of discs, he’ll cut the price to $1.49 each. Head on over to Etsy to order yours now.
Amazon rumored clinching major labels for cloud music rights, iTunes Match feels the heat
When we last checked in, Amazon was thought to finally be pushing for full music rights in its Cloud Drive and Cloud Player services. It might be a smooth operator at the negotiating table: subsequent tips to CNET maintain that the top four major labels (a currently-independent EMI as well as Sony, Universal and Warner) have all signed deals that will let Amazon offer the same scan-and-match music downloads and streaming as Apple's iTunes Match. The pacts would let Amazon offer access to every song a listener owns without having to directly upload each track that wasn't bought directly from Amazon MP3. Aside from closing a conspicuous gap, the deal could end a whole lot of acrimony from labels who were upset that Amazon preferred a free-but-limited service over having to charge anything. The online shop hasn't said anything official yet (if at all), but any signatures on the dotted line will leave Google Music as the odd man out.

CNET | Email this | Comments Game of Thrones Beer: Liquor is Coming
If you have read A Song of Ice and Fire or watched Game of Thrones, you know that those in the 7 kingdoms love their beer. Or mead. Check out this series of beer labels done in the style of real beer companies, but with some of the house and character names from Game of Thrones.
These are all the work of artist Satan’s Brand and they are all awesome. I wish they were real beers. There’s Lannister Gold, a brew so good it will make you want to sleep with your sister. Winterfell Beer, which no doubt makes you strong as a Direwolf and many more.
I especially like the Nights Watch versions. Those guys need all the beer they can get. It is lonely and cold on the Wall, after all. Check out the rest of the designs over on RedBubble, where you can order them on t-shirts, hoodies or stickers too.
