We’re not saying that GameCube was the smoothest gaming console to begin with (or even one of our top 5 choices) but it was certainly nowhere near as irritating as the purposely frustrating Frube. Even the colors chosen for this device are annoying as hell. The Frube gives the GameCube a new parallelogram shape which makes the system almost impossible ...

I seriously doubt we’ll get attacked by aliens anytime soon but in case we are, we’ll be prepared to bluff their assault with these quirky ceramic ray guns from Muddy Mountain Pottery. The Raku Ray Gun series of creations feature classic sci-fi names such as “Van Vogt Defractor” and “Nemo Squidulator.” The median price of the guns you’ll find is ...

Skateboarding isn’t for everyone, though Ryan is pretty decent at it. Take Tougher Than Leather – a Greek-inspired skateboard that is made to order from Greece Is For Lovers. Though it looks beautiful and the strap-in style deck is similar to snowboarding, I can see a lot of ankles getting twisted trying to pull off tricks on this board. They ...

External hard drives never really become a personal affair. For the most part, we buy them to add additional storage to our computers because we just downloaded 100GB of pornography off a Bit Torrent site. Rather than have our OS slow to a crawl and our storage shrink to the size of an appendix, we simply copy all the tits ...

I really don’t see what the big deal is about saving energy. At home, we just ignore our electric bill until the company sends us a letter crying about paying them money. We send them some cash, they’re happy and the virtuous cycle repeats. Of course, not every tree-hugging citizen would agree and that’s why technologies like wind-based power plants ...

I enjoy biking as much as any young guy does but I have to admit, I don’t like to multitask whilst riding around my block. After all, using a phone on a bike is just begging for it to get broken or crushed unless it’s a specially designed device. This Bike Mount for the iPhone renews these fears of breaking ...

Not much is known about the above video, though it’s pretty fun to observe. A man has 5 metronomes going at once on a plank of wood. At one point, the plank is placed on top of two soda cans and the metronomes begin to sync up. I have no clue how this was done. Any ideas? Seems like a ...

Rather than screwing around with butt plugs this weekend, spend your hard earned cash on this 12′ x 4′ sculpture of an acoustic guitar. Dubbed “Heavy Metal“, this work of art was created by artist extraordinarie Mike Schubert. It can be yours for the low price of who gives a shit. Link (via)

Your eyes do not deceive you, dear readers. Some jackass actually let his 94-year-old mother (meaning she was born in 1914, mind you) ride an ATV around on his property. Eventually, she ran his ass over. From the article: Smith was working with his mother, Mary Smith, around 12:30 p.m. at the property about 6 miles north of Howell, police ...
