Back in July, I briefly mentioned a beer pong raft that ruins the fundamental experience that is the game of beer pong. Well, the creators behind the Port-O-Pong weren’t too pleased about that, so they sent us one. Needless to say, my face lit up when it arrived at my doorstep. The advertisers claim it can be played “anywhere on anything,” so I immediately had to put it to the test. I met up with Vince in Margate, New Jersey and we decided that the ocean would be an ideal locale for our next beer pong match. Let the games begin!

When you’re having company over, you can never be too sure whether or not they’re gamers. If they are, they’ll embrace your secret with open arms. If they aren’t, they’ll mock you. So, it’s best to keep your mouth shut about games and pour some drinks, instead.

Burke Lashell has drinking friends, gaming friends and a whole lotta’ beer. When he turned his bar into a barcade with a flip-out four-player arcade setup and a big-screen TV mounted on the wall, he had no idea whether all of his friends, gamers or not, would dig it. Dig it, they did. It’s still missing a few buttons, but hey, it’s a work in progress.

Oh shit, get on those pro flip cup gloves, we got ourselves a game of beer pong that isn’t all fun and games on your Nintendo Wii. It’s Port-O-Pong, the amphibious portable beer pong table.

OK, so it’s just a fucking raft with some grooves for the cups that completely eliminate the chances of cups toppling over from a fast ball throw. Half of beer pong is trying to knock your opponents cups over so they’re force to lick the beer off the table. It sucks for the suckers, but hey, it’s house rules. For $54.95, buy a rickety wooden table and some plastic cups instead of this spill-proof raft that ruins beer pong altogether. Seriously what is a beer pong match without beer spilling everywhere? Leisurely drinking, that’s what.

With all these awesome electric motorcycles sprouting up everywhere, you’re gonna need a sweet looking helmet to go with your new bike. French designer Jérôme Coste has shown interest in crash helmet design since surviving his sixth cranial fracture. Jesus, you’d think you’d quit around three or four cranial fractures, but no, Coste just keeps on biking.

Made from carbon fiber and detailed with chrome-plated trim, these helmets are directly inspired by science-fiction films and as a result, if you fall from a flying car, you’ll be thankful you had one of these stylish cranial casings on your head. Otherwise you’re getting fucked up.

Street artist KR, creator of the KRINK line of ink and markers has designed a laptop sleeve for the folks over at Incase. The KRINK sleeve has a dripping paint design surrounding its exterior, so everyone will know what a sloppy mess you are when it comes to painting.  It’s said to be compatible with the MacBook Pro 15-inch, but I’m sure you could shove any other 15-incher or something smaller into it.

At $80, its reasonably priced considering some of the other laptop cases we’ve seen.  A 3mm cushioned interior provides padded protection, but don’t be fooled into thinking your laptop can survive a spill. Remember, gravity always wins over technology.
