Us humans are so vicious. We take poor innocent potatoes, skin them while their friends watch and then mash them into a creamy pulp. Doesn’t sound too appetizing when explained so truthfully, huh? But what happens to the dead potatoes that are left behind? They become zombie potatoes, of course. This Zombie Potato Halloween costume is equally bizarre and surreal. ...

A team of researches conducted the first ever video game census, analyzing the characters of 150 of the top selling video games. The results were totally unsurprising if you’re an avid gamer. 89.5% of the characters are male, 85% are white. The most under-represented demographic was Hispanics, appearing in 2.7% of the games, only a fraction of their actual world ...

Righties rejoice. Ben Heck has done it again with a brand new mod. This time around the Heck-ster created a one-handed Xbox 360 controller. The addition of a semi-intrusive joystick removes the need for the left side of the controller. An added mechanism on the rear of the controller manages the bumper action. While it’s not as pretty as some ...

If you’re still listening to cassette tapes, we might have some news for you. That music technology has been dead for like, a decade now. Hell, CDs aren’t even relevant anymore.

If you want to check out the interview you can take a gander here. All in all it was a ton of fun and hopefully it can provide some ...

Just when you thought the internet couldn’t get any weirder. Check out their single-serving sister sites, and we are not making this up: HotChicksWithDogsWithBoners.com and HotChicksWithHotDogsInTheirMouths.com. Link

Foosball might be the greatest damn game on the planet, but that doesn’t mean it can’t get boring after years of constant play. The MaruBot Table Football set replaces the old knob-and-rod foosball table, replacing man-power with robotic intelligence. With a set of 4 robots, 2 per team, your team is now much smaller, but that’s ok, because these little ...

I wouldn’t have guessed it, but now that I’ve seen the real face of Mickey Mouse, I can’t help but think that he has less than good intentions. Link [via]

Not everyone is in the financial position to buy a keyboard with illuminated keys. That shit can get expensive. Macbooks might come stock with illuminated keys, but my Dell POS sure as hell doesn’t. What if I’m high off my ass in the dark and can’t remember my QWERTY hand placement? Not a pleasant situation. These Glowing Keyboard Stickers, made ...
