What time is it Snake? Snake? SNAAAAAAKE!
Tired of trying to keep track of those lengthy Metal Gear Solid 4 cut scenes with your measley old timepiece? Konami’s got you covered. For the outlandish (or reasonable, depending on your loyalty) price of £99.99, you’ll receive [...]
Cubesday: Jared Nielsen’s Masterpiece
In a more perfect world, I would only imagine that the majority of people would have the vision, genius, and initiative that Jared Nielsen had when he sunk $2000 into remodeling his own cubicle. The majority of the cost went into the chair and the LCD monitor, and rightly so.
Jared expresses the reasoning behind it [...]
Daddy, Where do Stormtroopers Come From?
Well son, Stormtroopers are made of little boys’ hopes and dreams … in a factory in a galaxy far, far away.
In this factory, in Denmark, Gizmodo reporter Jesus Diaz was able to capture the process by which they are carefully, magnificently crafted. Watching the video almost made me cry. I can only imagine [...]
World of Workcraft: A Spoof on Life and WoW.
Eric Therner’s Pilen Concept Bicycle
So it’s officially Summer in Philadelphia! It seems to me that everyone and their mother is riding a bike to get around town, and rightly so (Bikes don’t run on gasoline). I’ve been shopping around for a solid set of wheels myself. Something light, good looking, and won’t ruin my manly parts. Granted, I’m not [...]
Monday Magic: Bacon Floss
I didn’t have time to craft a wittier title, so this is what I call my (hopefully) faithful weekly Monday Magic column.
Today we present you with Bacon Floss in all its meaty glory. It’s available through the venerable Archie McPhee online store (and I suspect the catalog as well) for only [...]
Optimus Prime Sculpture: Metallic, Saves Human Race
This awesome Optimus Prime sculpture standards a whopping 87 inches tall and is made out of various bits and pieces of metallic junk, weighting it at nearly 500 pounds.
It’ll run your pockets a solid $5000, and looks a lot nicer than the sculpture I made out of 500 pounds of junk. That thing was awful.
Optimus [...]
Death Fails: Mario Shouldn’t Die This Way
Lately, I’ve been playing a lot of Super Mario Galaxy. I’ve got to say, it has rekindled my love for Mario all over again. I haven’t played a Mario game since Super Mario 64, and to be honest, I really didn’t care for it. Yeah that’s right. I said it.
But poor Mario. He gets himself [...]
Apple G4 Towers: Only Good As Mailboxes
Seriously, these days, that’s all they are good for. Ugh.
Thanks to the dudes at Crunchgear for the link.

Fun With Google Maps: Urban Cowboys in Philadelphia
Ah, Google. Your Street Views option opened the door to so much humor and hilarity. Whole websites are dedicated to it and you’ve helped us find everything from the Starship Enterprise to illegally parked fighter jets. Now the city of Philadelphia thanks you, for giving us our very own wacky Street View scene [...]
