What a week. We covered the 10 Worst Gaming Systems, looked at a unique way of applying grip tape and hated on Beer Pong for the Wii. No matter, considering many of you will be seeing the new Indiana Jones flick this weekend. Since many of you will be hitting the beach this weekend, I feel it’s my duty to ...

Ford’s 2009 Flex has a $760 option to equip your car with a fridge and/or freezer in the backseat. This makes those long hauls upstate more luxurious as you’ll be making less pit-stops for food with one of these equipped in your ride. The compartment isn’t large but it is capable of holding seven 12-ounce cans or even four half-liter ...

Dominic Wilcox is both a great graphic designer and a cheeky bastard. He’s come up with these realistic-looking rust stickers that go on your car or bicycle. Dominic figures that, because your bike looks like shit, no one is going to steal it. Fair enough. You can grab a set for $8 but remember, no guarantees! Link

In light of the recent release of the latest Indiana Jones flick, Toys R Us is selling an Indiana hat and whip to complete your costume of the most badass archaeologist to ever scour tombs. If worse comes to worst, you could always use the hat and whip to compete in the Iditarod with your team of burly huskies, once ...

While the HOAP-3, Fujitsu’s robot chef, can’t quite crack its own eggs with one-hand like an expert chef, it can make a delicious-looking ham and cheese omelet. It’s by no means a Pee-wee Herman breakfast machine, as you wouldn’t let it cook your breakfast unaided. It’s a nice thought though, having a robot prepare your breakfast while you engage in ...

If you’re a self proclaimed “Lord of Dogtown” and for some strange reason you like arts and crafts, this DIY grip tape is your ticket to showing those non-skaters that you didn’t fail third-grade art class. Subhead grip tape pre-cut designs, like skulls and stars for the punk in you, can make decaling your board an easy and efficient way ...

I love how sites are calling this GSM phone the “Anti-iPhone” as the name couldn’t suit the HOP1800 better. Remember the disposable cellphone idea from years back? This is it. Ten bucks gets you a phone from Hop-on that works with over 40 carriers, including all the major players. As you can see in the picture, there’s no display. You ...

CrunchGear posted a video of that game Beer Pong for the Wii. It looks incredibly stupid. Link

It’s no mystery that the Wii is the biggest disappointment since Dr. Phil getting his own TV show. If you are one of many unfortunate owners of one, you’re probably looking for some application that might be of more use than flailing your arms around during Wii Sports tennis only to have the ball be hit the same way every ...

Shivers me timbers and call me DIY! I just bought a Guitar Hero controller yesterday and now the boys at Giz’ are saying that Guitar Hero 4‘s controller will have additional fret-button-thingies. Sheesh. The case for this new accusation? A GH promo page shows an expanded drum kit and additional frets on the guitar. This could really make modding the ...
