Donkey Kong Barrel Coffee Mug: How High on Caffeine Can You Get?

Posted on 24/03/2018 by Paul Strauss

Some of the most iconic objects in the history of video games have to be the barrels that Donkey Kong tosses at Jumpman as he climbs girders to rescue his princess. Jumping over those barrels and smashing them with a sledgehammer were the key gameplay mechanics of Nintendo’s breakout arcade game. Now you can celebrate this classic video game object every time you take a sip of coffee.

I wondered what was inside those barrels – I always assumed it had been banana juice, but it turns out it was coffee. This officially-licensed Donkey Kong barrel mug is perfect for sipping your favorite caffeinated beverage, or even as a pen caddy on your desktop.

It’s actually based on the DK Barrel from the Donkey Kong Country series, which freed a defeated Kong when you smashed it. I don’t recommend smashing this one unless you want to throw your money away and get hot coffee all over your lap. It’s available now over at Firebox for just about $18.

Posted on 04/04/2017 by Conner Flynn

This barrel-shaped Legend of Zelda themed arcade cabinet is not only fun to play, but a great piece of home decor too. It comes from Redditor LetsbuildsomeShit. He is living up to his name big time with this awesome build.

This Raspberry Pi 3 / RetroPie-powered arcade machine is completely custom. I love how the map is behind the controls and around the screen. This is a beautiful build. If you want to try something like this yourself, you can find an overview of the build in the gallery of images.

Barrel Mug Is Classy Way To Serve Beer

Posted on 23/09/2016 by Conner Flynn

These handcrafted Barrel Mugs are made individually from American white oak slats and lined with stainless steel. That means that every mug is a beautiful one-of-a-kind product. They won’t alter your beverage’s taste, but it will up their presentation for sure. I can’t think of a better mug to serve beer in.

It looks like a fancy mug that a hobbit would drink from while having a party in the Shire. Each mug holds 16 fl. oz. of whatever liquid refreshment you want.

That is one good looking and classy mug. It makes a great gift for anyone who appreciates a good beer, served with style. I want a frosty one served in this thing right now.

Guy Puts Donkey Kong in a Barrel: At Least It’s Not on Fire

Posted on 17/06/2013 by Conner Flynn

It’s like beating Kong in a barrel… Wait, that’s not how the saying goes. But you can say it now. This custom-built Donkey Kong tabletop arcade machine has been put into a barrel. Why? So you can drink and game of course.

Joel Griffin Dodd wanted a fully functional game of Donkey Kong in an old barrel so that he could have beer and cocktails on top of it. How drunk can you get? You probably shouldn’t try to jump over it, though that’s better that than smashing it with a mallet, I suppose.

It looks like a fairly straightforward build. Just put together a mini arcade system and stick it inside a barrel. Then put some glass on top of course. Not that I thought of it or was able to build one myself. Nice work, Joel.
