If you’ve ever delved into the world of fantasy, and really, who hasn’t at some point, you likely understand that while your mind is a powerful device, one thing it isn’t capable of doing is allowing you to feel the press of authentic fantasy gear against your skin.

This geek family takes their Narnia play very seriously. So seriously that they decided it really wouldn’t be a worthwhile experience unless they made their own Narnia themed outfits. The family created a full-regalia outfit for all four of the Pevensie children (that’s Peter, Susan, Edmund and Lucy for those of you not cool enough) including gauntlets and chain mail. Much more after the jump.

Here’s a “Pro Gaming Table” that is supposed to be awesome for people who never leave the house. It can hold your thousands of dollars worth of equipment with ease, ensuring that you’re never going to have “issues” whilst raiding in World of Warcraft come the release of that new expansion pack. And by “issues,” I mean running out of Lean Pockets.

It’s Friday and I’m sitting here looking at a really busted chick. Nothing new, except that this time around, the busted chick is Nerdpr0n.com’s founder, Anna Logue. There really isn’t anything special about this woman, except that she’s straight up a nerd. No other word for it. She’s a true nerd.

The above picture shows her posing with a giant D20 D&D die, which is cool as fuck to an extent. But the pictures of her dressed up in a Star Trek uniform and as Harley Quinn from Batman. Now if only she heard about Curves or Jenny Craig. Then we’d be money.

The best way for us nerds to score chicks is to focus on ladies that have mobility problems. In other words, trouble running away from our squealing voices. Instead of focusing on paraplegics (as sexy as they are), this Life-sized Princess Leia model has nowhere to run, and couldn’t run even if she did have somewhere to run too.

With the hordes of Star Wars schlock released constantly, the 5-ft tall Leia doll looks a little too “cartoon-y” for our tastes, but hey, if thats your thing, all the power to ya. No details on if she’s anatomically correct. Sorry pervs. Not your thing? Check out the Yoda Backpack for role-playing. — Andrew Dobrow

A recently released patent from Motorola reveals a cellphone design that integrates solar panels and the LCD display of the phone. Environmental-lovin’ nerds are sure to be up in arms with a joyous stupor over the announcement of solar integration.

The technology works best with black LCD screens, with 75% of the rays reaching past the display layer. The thin film layer needed to integrate the two technologies is still pretty expensive, which has so far, not allowed for a commercial use of solar-powered cellphones. — Andrew Dobrow

Us nerds are always on the look out for funky new watches to don on our wrists. This Zihotech Showa Wrist Watch is no different. Designed to look like an old time telephone, the retro-themed watch will be sure to draw attention to your overused wrist.

The watch tells time like no other. To hear what time it is, you must dial 117 on the rotary style keys, at which point, a voice speaks from the speaker in the center of the watch, dictating the time. If you ring a wrong number, the oh-so-familiar voice clocks in giving the spiel, “We’re sorry, the number you have dialed can not be reached at this time…” Available now for $52. — Andrew Dobrow

Remember that cheeky 80’s movie, Weird Science, where two nerds figure out how to make a woman using lingerie, magazine models, and a piece of crap computer? This is similar except, not at all. We just needed an intro.

Artist Max Kor rendered himself a pretty 3D WoW-inspired night elf from scratch, and it’s an impressive piece of work. He explains step by step, his process of creating this detailed female. Check it out, humanoid. (more…)

What says “Welcome to my home!” more then a rug that looks like the skinned corpse of Adolf Hitler? When waking up in the morning, the first thing we want to think about is the horrible mass slaughter of non-Aryan peoples. So the Hitler Rug works pretty well! This should be a sign to all evil dictators. If you continue your evil ways your image will only wind up as a throw rug in some nerds apartment. Take that you German dictator whom has been dead for 60 years! — Andrew Dobrow

So it’s come to this then, huh? We no longer can physically keep our claws at a horizontal angle in fear that our precious wrist ligaments be shard. So now the Vertical Mouse gets released.

Apparently there was a Vertical Mouse 1, which must of looked an awful lot like this one considering the name. The premise of the Vertical Mouse is that the buttons are set up in a way so that your hand is set in a hand shake position rather then a typing position…or something like that.

Okay, okay. It’s true most of us nerds have plenty of experience with repetitive vertical hand motions, but is this really what it must come too? We’d love to try it out (but we are poor) and much like those friendly writers at Coolest Gadget, we would need to be shown a pretty impressive test surf to ever consider changing up full time.
