The Legendary Bag of Holding Returns!
While some of you might remember, early this year friends over at Rollacrit announced the NEW Bag of Holding during April Fools. At first, I was like, ARE THEY MESSING WITH ME?! In a surprising twist, Rollacrit, a renowned name in the gaming community, has announced its upcoming Kickstarter campaign for the highly anticipated Bag of Holding. Some of you might not have known, and what makes this mo...[Read More]
Review: Ctrl-Alt-Del Cup Set
Reviewing a cup set is actually much harder than you would think. It’s a fairly basic item, after all. You could quite easily get away with saying something like, “It contains liquid successfully, which makes it the perfect example of what a cup should be.” One sentence does not a review make, however, and there are more factors that you would take into consideration while delibe...[Read More]
Review: Portal 2 Warning Sign Coasters
Let’s just assume that you’re social enough to have people visit your home on a semi-regular basis. With that assumption firmly in place, surely you want some way to protect your kickass giant Nintendo controller table from the vile and destructive forces of condensation? Let ThinkGeek take care of you with their Portal 2 Warning Sign coasters. Eight coasters in all, each one depicts a...[Read More]
Review: MicroVision SHOWWX+ Laser Pico Projector
I love technology. I am a man of gadgets and gizmos, of thingamabob’s and doohickeys. I buy gadgets I don’t need simply because of the technological impressiveness of the gadget. Sometimes that works out great, and sometimes I end up with an expensive piece of decoration. If I had purchased the MicroVision SHOWWX+ laser pico projector currently being sold at ThinkGeek, I think I’...[Read More]
Review: Soft Kitty Singing Plush
Can you sing Soft Kitty? The catchy tune that Sheldon’s mother, and later, Sheldon’s neighbor Penny, would sing to him when he was sick has become yet another in a long line of memorable sitcom songs based on cats, following in the august footsteps of Friends’ quirky ditty, “Smelly Cat,” and…well, there’s probably another weird song about cats from another...[Read More]
Review: Geek Dad Books
I have to admit, for the most part I had some pretty cool parents when I was growing up. As far back as I can remember (which is back to around 1985-ish), I was lucky enough to have multiple computers in my house, and even more at my grandparents’ house down the street. I grew up swapping 5 1/4″ floppies and singing along to the Internet song (which would be the timeless handshake betw...[Read More]
Review: Force FX Lightsabers (Detachable Blade)
If I could have one wish, it would be to have a fully functional lightsaber of my own design and specifications. Yes, there’s world peace, an end to hunger and homelessness, and the general advancement of humanity…but I REALLY want a lightsaber, y’know? Unfortunately, we do not have the technology now to produce such a wonderful thing. We do, however, have the technology to produ...[Read More]
Review: Jedi & Sith Bath Robes
For a Jedi, defending the galaxy from their vile Sith counterparts is tiring work. That’s why, when they get back to the Jedi Temple, the first things on their minds are relaxation and rest. A nice Force backrub, a cool shower, and a comfortable bathrobe to lounge around in. And when a Jedi lounges, they lounge in style. Enter the Jedi Bathrobe.
Review: Universal Gadget Wrist Charger
Mobile technology is, quite frankly, one of the scientific advancements I am most thankful for. We are living in Star Trek (minus warp drive and sexy green women), and when I sit back and think about that, I am simply amazed at how far we have come in such a short time. Now, for the love of Trelane, science me up a new battery technology to keep my devices running longer! As I await that next leap...[Read More]
Review: FroliCat BOLT Interactive Pet Laser Toy
I’m a cat person. Over the years, I’ve found that a cheap way to get a great deal of entertainment out of your cat is with the use of a laser pointer. Racing the dot across the carpet, tile, and wall results in frenetic outburst of feline chattering, agility, and aerobatics. The laser pointer is also a good way to keep your cat’s attention occupied so that they stay out of troubl...[Read More]
Review: ScanGauge II
I am a self-admitted technology geek (among other kinds of geek). As a technology geek, I am a firm believer in the value and necessity of data. Johnny 5 said it best with his oft-quoted phrase, “Need input!” Well, I need input. I want statistical and diagnostic data and information about EVERYTHING. I want to know how my computer is performing, I want to know how my net connection is ...[Read More]
