World’s Heaviest Metal Robot Band Compressorhead

Post a Comment

The only thing left on the bucket list is to see the fully armored heaviest of metal bands, Compressorhead robots rockin’ out “Ace of Spades” with Lemmy stepping in to belt out the lead vocals!

Because these bad-ass bots, not only can play, but do play live concerts where their tin necks lash as they head bang and deliver hard edged renditions of classic heavy metal hits.

Geek Weekly: 1/4 Scale Gollum & Smeagol Make for a Precious Gift

1 Comment

It is never too late to give the most precious gift a loved geek could ever hope to attain . . . an amazingly detailed ¼ scale Gollum and Smeagol figure.

The completely pose-able wretch sports twenty-five points of articulation so that every literary Tolkien (or imagined) pose of the skulking villain can be marvelously recreated in your very home.

Modeled after the ingenious Andy Serkis and Peter Jackson version of the creature Gollum from The Lord of the Rings movies (we’ll just forget the travesty of The Hobbit movie ever happened), this little Smeagol can be kindly pawing at your Frodo Baggins’s figure’s knees.

VIVAX: Finally a Laptop Case You Can Hit With a Hammer or Run Over With Your Car

1 Comment

That’s right, VIVAX , the military grade transport case of every potential spy’s dreams has been created to form the most innovative laptop case on the market, and that means it’s crushproof, waterproof, shockproof, dustproof, and mudproof.

We’ve all been there before: reenacting James Bond and the opening chase scene in Casino Royale you ran after your friend, forced them into submission high up on the office building roof, and in your struggle to attain the precious data stored on his laptop the backpack straps slip and the bag falls into a massive pile of landscaping dirt — No? Just me?

And even after the computer survived the fall, the shock, and the rain, the dust and topsoil pilfered its life by ruining the motherboard; the fabled spy data was lost. Playing pretend your buddy had to be reimbursed for losing his work laptop in your little game . . . at least until now!

Hands On With IOGEAR’s Wireless 3D HD Digital Kit

3 Comments

As the NFL season rolls on toward the playoffs and the NCAA bowl games near, the IOGEAR Wireless HD Digital Kit launches to provide sharp 1080P HDMI signals from one TV to another seamlessly.

No matter how many High Definition televisions are rockin’ your sports bar or pristine home setup, there are always going to be places where the TV is ideal but the room to run connection wires, a Blu-ray player, and a cable box are impossible (at least without taking down a wall and ignoring the wife’s pleas for a contractor – and I do not recommend this).

What do you do when there is no room for a gargantuan vanity, an antique bookshelf to hold the Blu-ray player, and a slew of action adventure romance movies in the living room? And on top of this, the wife insists the TV looks best in the corner beside the fireplace, but the wires just will not wind through the chimney to give the DVR cable box’s content to you.

Geek Weekly: The Hobbit LEGO Game

Post a Comment

Long before The Lord of the Rings was written (the movies were still decades away), J.R.R. Tolkien sent Bilbo Baggins, a hobbit, along with a company of thirteen dwarves on a quest to retrieve their dragon-guarded mountain and treasure, and now LEGO has given us The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey board game to journey through.

SPOILER: it is in The Hobbit that Bilbo finds the ring!

Take it from a first-hand Tolkien nut that played this board game at its New York Comic Con 2012 premiere, The Hobbit LEGO game is a great way to involve kids (Ages 7+) in the greatest tale crafted in the twentieth century.

Tesla Model S: First Electric Motor Trend Car of the Year

Post a Comment

The Tesla Model S four-door sedan is the first COTY winner in the 64-year history of the Motor Trend Car of the Year Award not powered by a gas-guzzling internal combustion engine.

The technology of batteries is catching up to the needs of a world desperate to escape gas-dependency, and the Tesla Model S has the Panasonic cells with nickel-cobalt-aluminum cathodes to run a 465 HP AC Induction engine. This baby has some serious junk in that 4700-plus pound trunk.

Geek Weekly: Official Tetris Animated Alarm Clock with Music

Post a Comment

Counting sheep may be a thing of the past now that the Official Tetris Animated Alarm Clock is racking up bedroom points.

What are the buttons shaped as? Well, Tetriminos of course.

After blasting away at the 8-bit old school Nintendo “Tetris” game’s continually growing walls of geometric shapes, the blurs of progressing Tetriminos often left me reeling in my bed while I attempted to sleep. What if I had put the straight block into gap instead of the crooked corner brick? But alas I had to let go of the game at some point and move on with my life – except I never did.

Ben & Jerry’s Pint Protector Euphori-Lock

1 Comment

Take home protection into your own hands with the coolest ice cream pint protector available, the Ben & Jerry’s Euphoria-Lock.

You remember the premise: you arrived home after a hard day’s work and opened up the icebox to find . . . a gaping hole in the once amazing line of vanilla, chocolate, and moose tracks. First there was blind rage, then a thirst for revenge, and Michael Buffer at a microphone, “Ladies and Gentlemen, let’s get ready to RUMBLE!”

But these terribly violent outbursts of violence do not have to be imminent any longer, because Ben & Jerry’s wants us all to chill out.
