The Electra Heart Lamp

Take a plasma ball from Spencer’s Gifts and throw in a little love and you’ll wind up with this Electra Heart Lamp. It resembles the heart and if you touch it, electricity from inside will go to your fingers a la plasma ball. Fantastic looking but unfortunately, it’s discontinued. A shame, considering it was only twenty bucks.

Pin Clock Brings Back Middle School Memories

The plasma ball. The Jenny McCarthy poster. The pin-thingie that you put your hand under. What do these three things have in common? Spencer’s Gifts.

This Pin Art clock doesn’t have an alarm but who needs one when you’re sleeping in on a rainy sunday trying to recapture your youth. At $70, it’s a steal, similar to your current 401k situation. Over 3000 pins shape into numbers to give you a small glimmer of hope. Are you sold yet?

I must say, I’m usually not a fan of G4 and their gaming obsessed attitude, considering it’s supposed to be a tech channel and not a “lets watch people play games” channel. But with this PS3 Elite mock ad they made, they’ve won a place in the coveted “Laugh of the *enter time span here*” title from Gearfuse.

I love how it’s made to look like a cheesy infomercial. Do we hear Sony’s lawyers on the run? CRAZY DIRTY! I will give them this. Sony sure has been taking notes from other companies recently. — Andrew Dobrow
