Now and then, while out checking the web for geeky goodness, this blogger comes across an item that would make for a wonderful LARP prop. This Nitroglycerin Hand Sanitizer goes beyond LARP – not only could you use this during a gaming night, I can see this being a great conversation starter at a convention. […]
Bioshock Beer
Ryan Industries presents brown sweat – some American Pale Ale from a better place, a better life without the twin evils of charity and tax. Does Big Daddy drink Bioshock Beer? Via The Drunken Moogle.
LEGO overload [infographic]
It’s been a LEGO week. My guess is that the tills over at the LEGO shop are ringing happily. Where to start? Okay. Let’s start by trying to creep you out. This LEGO minifig of Gollum from the Lord of the Rings set is pretty darn creepy. Sinister little thing. That didn’t freak me out […]
Felicia Day, The Guild and the Microsoft Advertising Story
This is a fairly long video from Microsoft that pitches their advertising capabilities to companies and agencies. In it we pick up stats about how many people can be reached via their mobile, web and gaming properties. It also features Felicia Day – Felicia Day the person and Felicia Day the brand. She’s a good […]
The Asus PadFone will dock with the Transformer keyboard
First off, Asus have confirmed that the PadFone is coming. The PadFone is an Android tablet that’s powered by a smartphone docked deep inside. In other words, take the phone out of your pocket when you get home and onto the sofa, clip it into the back of your tablet and you’re running something new. […]
Follow the adventure with “I built a TARDIS”
I highly recommend finding 17 minutes free to follow the adventures of “SillySparrowness”. Silly Sparrowness is a Doctor Who fan who decides to build her own TARDIS. It does not help that Doctor Who isn’t well known in Germany, that her DIY TARDIS project soon escapes the basement but Silly Sparrowness has to wrestle with […]
Clinton Felker’s samurai Star Wars
Clinton Felker’s awesome samurai Boba Fett has been doing the rounds on the blogs again. I can see why – it’s an incredible drawing. It’s well worth checking out his blog as there’s a whole collection. I think the Stormtrooper archer is my favourite. What about you?
Zombie killing weapon-gun of doom
Okay, it’s not called the “weapon-gun of doom” as the official name for this weapon is the “Zombie-X exterminator”. Obviously. What do you think about the chainsaw attachement? Is that really going to cut it? Excuse the pun. Here’s another thought; do you want simple and re-usable weapons for the zombie apocalypse or do we […]
Wastelander Panda
This video is all about the last panda coping in an a post-apocalyptic wasteland. It’s more Kung Fu Panda than a wildlife show, though, as the teaser below makes all too clear. This is a proof of concept for a TV show. That’s right; this might actually make it off the internet and onto broadcast […]
Make a speaker for your phone out of a beer can
This is an interesting effort from Red Stripe (the Jamaican beer people) that seems to be targeted to electronics geeks looking for a “just because we can” style of project. I think it’s rather clever because it hides tech in every day items. I’m very much reminded of this sneaky robot that lived in a […]
