There’s not much you can do after you’ve lost all your money playing Texas Hold ‘Em. Can’t go out. Can’t order food in. You’re broke and left with a set of (I swear the damned things are cursed) poker chips. What’s a geek to do? Eureka! *light bulb switches on* An idea arises! You might be broke, you might be ...

Cuddly isn’t exactly a word I would usually use to describe Darth Vader. Sure, he had strong arms and broad shoulders, but that’s beyond the point. He’s just not the cuddling type. Now Chewy on the other hand. He could be my cuddle partner any night. That’s right, I like my Wookies just like I prefer my women; rough and ...

The answer is simple. Really, really hot. I like a little sex appeal mixed in with my feline superheros and Megan Fox, who starred in both Transformers movies, is the sexiest damn woman in Hollywood at the moment. This mock-up wallpaper fulfills our fantasies by placing the foxy Fox in the iconic Catwoman mask. The rumor of her taking the ...

Developed and built by robotics man Drew, this “walking machine” resembles a four-legged spider and walks with an unusual hoppish gait. Designed to entertain, entertain it does. Costing around $1000 to produce, one of the coolest things about this arachind bot is that it’s controlled with two sets of modified Wii Nunchucks. If you want to test the waters and ...

Back in 2007 we had the opportunity to review the iMainGo Portable iPod Speaker System, which at the time, sent ripples of excitement though the MacWorld crowd.

Just because your mom used to collect all of those kitschy magnets on the family fridge doesn’t mean all magnets should be burned in a fiery pit. In fact, these Xbox 360 controller magnets could find themselves holding an honorable spot on my fridge. Each set is $20, so it’ll hardly make a huge dent in your pocket. But it ...

This lucky couple was chosen out of 500 applicants to have a special Gundam-themed wedding event at the Odaiba life-sized Gundam statue. The images from wedding are both amusing and breath-taking. The sheer size of that thing. I still can’t get over it.

I’ve had chess sets destroyed, maliciously sacked by an epic battle rudely interrupting a game in mid-turn. I swore that it will NEVER happen again. I refuse to lose a game in progress just because I’m on a crusade for religious freedom. This Chainmail Chess Set is made of the same stuff I use to protect myself from sword wounds ...

What do you do when you’re attacked by a Chihuahua / Piranha hybrid monster? We might finally know the answer with the upcoming 2010 monster film Chihuanhas. It’s sort of like Jaws meets Taco Bell. And what could the tagline for this movie possibly be? “They’re not just ankle biters anymore…” Of course, of course. Hit the jump for some ...

The weirdest high five ever might also be the coolest. AND… it’s available on a hoodie, of course, for $38. The high five is so weird and so rare that explosions randomly occur in the background when it happens. Hyperbole is the best thing ever. Link [via]
