How bout some Street Fighter II inspired sneakers? No? I'm with ya, I only wear flip-flops too. Besides, you've gotta admit the Street Fighter resemblance is subtle at best. They could have at least thrown a hadouken on the side of the Ryus. And, I dunno, maybe some bigass... / Continue →

This is a movie trailer for God of War in the style of a Wes Anderson film (Rushmore, The Royal Tenenbaums, The Life Aquatic with Steve Zissou). It was really well made. And I'm not just saying that only because I love the song they used, but I did just marry it. WE'RE GONNA... / Continue →

Microsoft Game Studios Software Development Engineer Ray Arifianto's soon-to-be wife had this custom USB wedding band made for him. Why? Because flash memory is the language of looooove. Psyche, it's actually COBOL C++. The gold ring isn't actually a functional USB drive, b... / Continue →

The World of Warcraft: Wrath of the Lich King expansion pack. Haha, I can't say I'm surprised! But I can say it feels just as good as a real FleshLight AND I saved enough scrilla to pay my WoW subscription for the next two months. SO WHO'S LAUGHING NOW?! Customers Who Bough... / Continue →

This is an Optimus Prime statue spotted at the site of the 2008 Beijing Olympics aquatic center. He stands life-size and was built entirely out of 10,108 scrap car parts. How tall is life-size? Try 32-feet. Sure you could argue that's not Optimus' actual height, but then I'... / Continue →

How paranoid are you about aliens controlling your brain? If you answered, "VERY", it's too late, they already are and just made you think that so you'd still feel in control. I'd check my butt for antennas if I were you. This guy decided that more tin foil the better. He co... / Continue →

This is the design for a rocket-powered chainsaw launcher. The idea is that you'll be able to hack up a small group of zombies from a safe distance. Unfortunately, ammo costs will add up pretty quick if you don't retrieve your chainsaws. And, in case you couldn't tell becaus... / Continue →

Probably not this. Actually, I take that back. We probably would end up doing this because some nimrod in the bureaucratic system with no concept of how to call Batman in the first place (and thinks he's just a grown-up Bat Boy) would be in charge of signaling the caped crus... / Continue →

Drink coasters: I usually don't use them. Occasionally I'll set a beer on a DVD or magazine, but for the most part I just use the floor. That way I can knock over a bottle every time I get up. Haha -- like I drink out of bottles! What do I look like, a f***ing money tree?!... / Continue →
