goonies playing cards
Goonies never say die! But they do know when to hold ‘em, when to fold ‘em, when to walk away and when to run. Especially with a deck of Goonies Playing Cards. It’s a full house of your favorite characters from the Goonies film- Mikey, Mouth, Data, Chunk, Mama, Andy, Francis, Sloth and more. Each card has a highly detailed drawing of someone or something from the movie. Even ol’ One Eyed Willie is in the deck. Do the Truffle Shuffle all the way to a straight flush. Here’s a look at what’s in this set:

This custom playing card set features awesome artwork on back, and the face cards include scenes and characters from Lovecraft’s story. Nat decided to create these Steampunk Cthulhu Resurrection cards as a follow up to his original Steampunk Cthulhu cards from about a year ago.

Nat has also made some custom Cthulhu coins that you can buy with the deck, which will complete your Cthulhu poker night or allow you to start one. Nat has really outdone himself with this set. I don’t know which is cooler, the cards or the coins.

He has already met his Kickstarter goal and it still has a couple of weeks to go. A pledge of at least $10(USD) will get you a deck of cards, while $15 will get you the cards and one coin.

2 – Assembly
3 – Bash
4 – C++
5 – Brainfuck
6 – Python
7 – Objective-C
8 – C#
9 – JAVA
10 – PHP
J – JavaScript
Q – CSS
K – HTML
A – SQL

Of course you don’t have to remember all that, as above the code excerpt in the middle of each card it tells you what language it is:

The cards have a sleek modern design and obviously you don’t need to be a web developer to play with them. A group of friends employed in IT came up with the design and are selling the cards. Great for a gift for your programming geek friends and for using up some downtime in the IT room.

Hiroshi Yamauchi, the man who built Nintendo, dies aged 85

Posted on by
The man who took Nintendo from card games to video games, Hiroshi Yamauchi, diesHiroshi Yamauchi was Nintendo's third and arguably most important president. When he took the reins from his grandfather in 1949, the Japanese company specialized in the manufacture of playing cards for its home market -- first Japanese-style cards and then, under Yamauchi's guidance, Western-style ones too. By the time he handed over control to Satoru Iwata 53 years later, he'd overseen the creation of all Nintendo's game consoles up to the GameCube and become one of Japan's richest men -- in other words, not a bad innings for a man who passed away today at the ripe old age of 85.

Play Some Cards Down At Fraggle Rock

Posted on by

This is a set of Limited Edition Fraggle Rock Playing Cards. It was made in celebration of the beloved muppet show’s 30th anniversary. The deck is a collaboration between the Jim Henson Company and The Spare Room, a cocktail lounge and gaming parlor in Hollywood. Personally I like to think of the place as a rumpus room for grown ups, but that’s just me and nobody ever listens to the drunk girl stumbling around yelling things like “Less dance ever body it’s so funs here! Now wish wunna you’s gon buy me a nex drank?”

Gold Plated Playing Cards

I’m all about the gold. That’s just how I roll, player. Gold in my pocket, gold on my car, gold on my ceiling, gold in my schlager, gold on my lamé suit and Gold-Foil Plated Playing Cards Gold Plated Playing Cards. “Plated” might be a strong word for a flexible card, jus sayin’. The back of these high rolling cards has Ben Franklin on the $100 (which is the only bill I ever carry- you can keep the change on that, rookie). Dazzling? Perhaps. You keep me searching for a card of gold… and I’m getting old. Gold, Jerry, gold.

Game of Thrones Playing Cards: Poker is Coming

Posted on by

Game of Thrones is one of my favorite shows on TV in years, but I’ve been trying to find ways to pass the time while waiting for the return of the show on March 31. I’m a gambler too, so I think a few hands of poker could be a good time-killer until the return of the Starks, Lannisters, Targaryens, Baratheons, and all of the other denizens of Westeros in about a month and a half.

These hand-illustrated Game of Thrones playing cards were designed by artist Paul Nojima after getting the idea from a concept design he saw from artist Jim Tuckwell. While Tuckwell had only designed a handful of cards, while Nojima has actually produced an entire deck of cards.

The deck is printed on high quality 310gsm card stock, and includes illustrations of all of your favorite (and most hated) characters on the face cards, and the Aces have been illustrated with sigils from four houses. I also love how the Jokers are Lord Baelish and Lord Varis – how perfect is that?

You can get your hands on a deck of these Game of Thrones cards over on Etsy for $20. They’re also available in an faux aged version, if you’re into that sort of thing.

Windows 98 Solitaire Deck of Cards

The late ’90′s called, they want all of your wasted time back. That probably doesn’t make any sense but neither does making an actual deck of cards modeled exactly after the classic look of Windows 98 Solitaire. Because that’s pretty much exactly what Evan Roth did and the design was commissioned for the Cooper Hewitt in an edition of 500 and now it’s all sold out. So there. What’s next, Minesweeper? Oh wait, it’s been done too.
