This has to be the most endearing display of cross-developer love we’ve seen during our games writing careers. Capcom’s Shawn Baxter (a.k.a. “Snow,”) recently posted on the company’s community blog about his latest D.I.Y. project — a real-life version of Fortune’s Tower, one of the pub games featured in Fable II. Oh, and in Fable II Pub Games, though you probably didn’t need us to tell you that.
Words can’t really describe this two-month, $400 project as well as pictures, so hop on over to Capcom’s blog and check out the delectable fruits of Baxter’s labor. If you’re of a crafty ilk, the post also contains a few blueprints you can follow to make your own Fortune’s Tower set. We probably won’t post about yours, though. This is a one-time thing.

Loyal Joystiq reader Alex sent us an image of a gorgeous Super Mario Galaxy-inspired cake his wife made, and the finished product looks delicious. Made for the son of a family friend, the crafty design features Nintendo’s legendary hero mid-confrontation with his arch-enemy, Bowser.
If the cake doesn’t tickle your fancy, maybe the story behind it will. According to Alex, his wife wasn’t familiar with the game so he picked up a copy for “research” purposes.
So guys and gals, if you’re looking for a way to get your significant other interested in video games, try to use their love of baked goods as an excuse to introduce games into the relationship. The results may be delicious.
[Thanks, Alex]

Video games and Lego go together like peanut butter and chocolate. We’ve seen wonderfully bricky homages to Donkey Kong and cuddly little Pokemon, an ingenious way to make your own Zapper and even recreations of other Nintendo consoles — and now, a full NES set courtesy of MOCpages.
Not only does it come with two controllers and a Lego cartridge, but the builder even went so far as to create a TV and mock gameplay. But, that’s not even the kicker: the thing even has a working cartridge slot and power and reset buttons! Head on over to MOCpages to check it out.
