I’ve posted concept shots of the iCade before, but this thing is now actually happening! Available June 2011 via ThinkGeek. As you can see, the final production design (below) has gone through a few design changes since the initial ‘April Fool’ concept renders. Not quite as charmingly ‘retro’-boxy in appearance, but probably much more comfortable to play on. I WANT THIS THING. Once generation 1 iPads are ‘obsolete’ and in the bargain bin, I’ll be all over this.

Rubik’s Cube embedded inside brain sculpture. Fully functional puzzle by Jason Freeny!

Pretty awesome work by TaylorJames Studio! I’ve always loved the concept of humans shedding skin. I’ve used it in the occasional lyric.

Extreme cosplay by XtremeJenn! That’s dedication!

Glad they’re trying, but this wouldn’t make me feel any better about blood entering or leaving my body.
