I would not say that Mario is a particularly inspiring game… especially when you can’t the theme song out of your head.

Anywho, my mind was changed today. That’s right my friends, be prepared to be enchanted!

If, you’re like me, all you can really say right now is… wow. Yep, nuff said.

This trailer is beyond epic! Just when you think you have seen every thing there is to see about Mario… think again.

NO, all you Fallout 3 fans, you are not going crazy and this in not an illusion. This is fan-made! That’s right, a replica AER9 laser rifle. Yes, it is Full Of Win.

Please, no need to thank us, we are but the messengers. Save your applause for Harrison Krix. He is the genius who made this amazing piece of awesome!

I was, and still am, a huge fan of Metal Gear Solid. My view of gaming was altered forever…

This fan-made movie is nearly 70 minutes long and was made simply because fandom has no price tag. That is to say, the guys who made this, did so, without a budget.

You can download this video at Hive Division’s official site.

“Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare” is our favorite game here at FanMade HQ. The sound design and story of the game are great, but we certainly favor the online play.

Some beautiful illustration and sound editing went into these 2 shorts, using audio found in the game.

WARNING: Graphic illustrated blood and violence; brief language. It’s war. People will get hurt.

Ian says: These are amazing works of fandom. It’s so intresting how they reimagined the “Wetwork” stage. I need to play COD 4 right now! Hoo-Ahh

Matthew Dominick created this video that illustrates what happens when Mario’s “Warp Whistle” malfunctions.

Also, check out this Flickr set of Mario in the “Real World”.

This fan film, submitted as part of the Ubisoft/IFC Assassin’s Creed Fan Film Contest in June of 2007, didn’t win. But, I like it a lot, and I think it’s worth watching, just for the production value and the style. I think it follows very closely to what an movie based on the game would look like. However, I would like to challenge every fan filmmaker out there: WORK ON YOUR FIGHT CHOREOGRAPHY. It’s essential. Thank you.

There are quite a few contest submissions still online, and you can even view the winner’s film here on YouTube.

Most men spend days and days agonizing over how to ask the girl of their dreams to marry them. I have heard some amazing stories but this tops them. Ladies this is what happens when you fall in love with a geek. I think some congratulations are in order Mr. and Mrs. TheRealPfhreak.

I know all the ladies are asking so I will just answer now. No, I have not proposed to anyone. Yes, I want to. Contact me at FanMadeDotOrg@gmail.com for more information.

Well, I am going to take a page out of my good friend Levi’s book and give you a Craig’s Top 3 – Space Invaders. Everyone loves retro games and Space Invaders is a personal favorite. I remember spending hours as a child playing it. And for good reason, its just plain fun. And so are these fan made creations.

Having trouble getting your kids to take bath. Are you having trouble finding motivation to take a bath. Well look no farther. Yes, Digitalsoaps has made a Space Invaders soap set.

Ok, so playing in real life is pretty cool. But what I like the most here is the orchestra playing the game’s soundtrack live while the guy plays. The audio is a little hard to hear.
