    This is a $30 Forever Alone meme face statuette from ThinkGeek. It makes the perfect companion for the person with no companions. You know, I had a friend once. He might try to tell you we were just roommates, but we went halfsies on an entertainment stand so obviously there... / Continue →

    These are two NES cartridge pillows from ThinkGeek. Except they're not actually licensed by Nintendo, which is why they're calling them Retro Video Game Cartridge Pillows and feature games like Unicorn's Revenge and Lava Jump instead of Super Mario and The Legend of Zelda. Ca... / Continue →

    I mean, it would have been cool as a kid, but I'm still going to buy one and sleep in it. This is the $90 TARDIS play tent available from ThinkGeek. The tent stands just short of six-feet tall and the inside walls are even printed to look like the interior of the TARDIS. I'm... / Continue →

    This is an officially licensed $35 Minecraft torch lamp. The plastic lamps are powered by three AAA batteries and can either sit upright on a table or mounted to a wall diagonally. I just hung a bunch around my bedroom to give it kind of a medieval castle feel. "It's not wor... / Continue →

    ThinkGeek is selling these $13 Companion Cube ice cube trays that make your ice look briefly like little companion cubes in a drink before looking like regular ice cubes in a drink. Me? I bought the 99 ice cube trays from IKEA that make all my ice heart shaped. I know you mi... / Continue →

    This is a $90 (?!?!) TARDIS trashcan from ThinkGeek. It has a foot pedal opener along with light and sound effects whenever it's used. Unfortunately, it's so small (what is that -- a six coffee cup capacity?) that unless it really is bigger on the inside it's probably smarter... / Continue →

    This is the $30 Power-Up Arcade Light Switch Plate from ThinkGeek. It looks like an arcade joystick, but it's not -- it's a light switch. I know -- it was hard for me to grasp at first too. The two buttons make different 'PEW PEW!' sound effects and the actual joystick contr... / Continue →

    Children: they're like miniature people with limited vocabularies that still poop their pants on occasion. And now they have superhero raincoats. Obviously, I'm jealous. And not just because of the whole pant-pooping thing, but come on -- movies are long and popcorn passes r... / Continue →
