Pac-man toilet
This looks like a Pac-man toilet to me. Yeah, I’m aware that we don’t see Pac-man anywhere in the actual design – perhaps that’s due to legal reasons – but who else uses a toilet like this? A ghost inspired by Pac-man toilet? Nope. I think not. This is the Pac-man toilet. Just as this […]

The creative talents at work helping Samsung promote their Android range have come up with another video.

The Dead Space beacon… in lego
There’s a lot of things you can build with Lego with lots of skill and a bit of imagination. With enough imagination you might even decide to build a Dead Space beacon. Perhaps the frustration of planting beacons in asteroids boiled over and you just had to turn to lego. We can’t know Legohaulic‘s motivation […]
