Big in Japan. That’s what the press should be calling the Playstation 3. Seems for the month of March, Nintendo’s fantasy box of magic couldn’t fend off the brute,building strength of Sony’s Playstation 3. According to Reuters, “domestic sales of the PS3 came to 146,948 units in the five weeks through March 29, compared with 99,335 units of the Wii ...

We’ve all seen this little brown creature strewn across the web and thrown onto merchandise, but do you actually know who this character is? In reality, Domo made his debut as the mascot for the Japanese television station NHK. From there, Domo moved into the American market via Nickelodeon, where he appeared in a bunch of short skits, which eventually ...

Can you point out where your ilium is? I know I can’t! Not yet at least. Though I might take a sudden interest in anatomy if I had sheets which constantly reminded me of my innards. The anatomically correct “Hypochondria” sheets remind you that there are plenty of small moving parts within you which could malfunction at any second. Yes, ...

The world just got a little creepier. Honda, the company that made your sister’s ’02 Civic, has developed a way to transmit brain signals to a robot, allowing humans to control robots remotely. Honda has “read patterns of electric currents on a person’s scalp as well as changes in cerebral blood flow when a person thinks about four simple movements ...

I understand that living in a major metropolitan city can leave you with a lack of plants, grass and trees but this is still a bit overkill.

I was much more of a Milky Way fan when I was a kid. Not exactly sure why. These days I’m more of a Reese’s or Snickers guy. Perhaps the geniuses over in the Milky Way advertising department were utilizing my soft child-like brain to bend my consciousness to their will, forcing me to favor their candy bar with their ...

While you’re sure to get some strange looks from both sneering fashionistas and mildly frightened parents, you can’t help but enjoy the honesty of this t-shirt. You might not get a confidence boost from acknowledging the fact that you have more toys than a 12-year-old Japanese school girl, but anything else would simply be a lie. If us geeks�are known ...

Well not literally but it might as well be. This playhouse is designed to look like a mushroom cloud from an atomic bomb and that it does. Who knows what was going inside creator Dietrich Wegner’s mind when he made this. Pain? Destruction? All I know is I’m so getting my kids one. Link [via]

I love the look of these handmade stools that were spotted over in Japan. There’s a Pac-Man stool and then four additional stools shaped like ghosts. That’s right, take a seat and plop down on top of Inky, Blinky, Pinky and Clyde. They won’t mind. After all, they’re inanimate objects from a 1980s video game. Link

Talk about being scared shitless. Coca-Cola has gone all hardcore with the marketing of their new Georgia Max Coffee brand, redesigning a number of toilets at some of the most popular ski resorts in Japan. And really, where else could something this absurdly awesome exist? The fully wrapped bathroom walls simulate the experience of a skier on all sides of ...
