While surfing through the ole feed reader today I came upon not one, but two awesome MJ “Thriller”-themed shirts, both with a geeky flair. The above tee print is a mash-up of Michael Jackson Thriller-era and the game Left 4 Dead. A perfect mix if you ask me.
Hit the jump for a lego-fied journey to the world of Thriller.
Despite popular belief, chemical engineers weren’t spawned from a mixture of radioactive materials, but they actually have a birthday like us normal people. During these birthdays they like to ingest sugary spongy material through their mouth holes, this material being known as “cake.”
This Chemistry Cake was made for a chemical engineer at Nintendo, who promptly started making guttural noises at the sight of the baked yuminess. Though his disappointment was palpable when he realized the cake included not even one zombie reference.
Combat boot specialists Doc Marten have unveiled their awesome “The Skelly” pair of glow-in-the-dark combat boots. Even if you haven’t had the chance to rot in the ground for a few millenia, you can still feel like a hardcore undead creature walking among the living. Damn air breathers.
The coolest feature is that your bones will have a special talent which normal undead bones don’t have – the ability to glow in the dark like some sort of zombie nuclear experiment.
Don’t let outward appearances misguide you. This simple Capcom Resident Evil shirt from Comic-Con might seem like a harmless plug for a video game, but flip the shirt over your face, half Cornholio-style, and you might be mistaken as a zombie on the prowl.
Brains aren’t for everyone, but somebody’s gotta do it. It’s the circle of undead.
My Little Zombie Pony uses her saccharine cutesy-ness to distract you just long enough for you not to realize she is feasting on your brain. BRAAAAINNNNS! Or is it bray-ns?
If Crystal’s Pony Tale ever merged with Resident Evil, it would look something like this.
Just for the hell of it, Nokia decided to run a design competition, challenging competing designers to create headphones inspired by their favorite music. Some of the resulting designs, as expected, are pretty awesomely wacky. The design above is inspired by Michael Jackson’s “Thriller,” complete with unearthed zombies and a pedophile werewolf.
After the jump, you can check out a second design called “I’m Flying,” which is apparently inspired by R. Kelly’s “I Believe I Can Piss On Teenage Girls Fly,” but reminds me more of A Flock of Seagulls for some reason. (more…)
Today’s toys have advanced since the days of yesteryear when our parents played with army men and cardboard cutouts of Bozo the Clown. Children need to feel excited; pumped up, if you will. That’s why you shouldn’t feel bad about the way you raised your kids when they ask you for a bag of these plastic zombie figures. They’re a lot like army men, except they’re undead.
Of course, with the pinch of the recession being felt in our wallets, you could head down to the dollar store and melt down some figures to create an equally pleasing toy.
For anyone who played it back in the 1990s, the original Half-Life holds a special place in their heart. Whether it was the infamous Gordon Freeman crowbar or Barney’s terrible one-liners, you can’t deny that the first ass you kicked was a headcrab’s. A Kotaku reader named Mark decided to design his own action figure that closely resembles a security guard getting killed by a headcrab. I’m actually quite disappointed I can’t purchase one. It’d look great next to my TFC poster.
With all the DIY arcades out there like the Powerbook arcade or the Metroid themed MAME cabinet, you’d be crazy not to take a crack at building your own. Now if you just so happen to be rich, you won’t mind living by the motto, “can’t someone else do it?” Yes, someone else can do it and that someone is Zombie Arcades, a high-end arcade machines manufacturer based in the UK. These cabinets are are built from the ground up and designed for home use to bring back that classic arcade gaming experience you can only find if you traveled back to the ’80’s.
Each unit comes chock full with over 300 of the greatest arcade games from the past and present. With a 24″ Samsung LCD and two player arcade controls (with LED buttons), you must be wondering about the price. I hope you’re sitting down because these gaming rigs don’t go for anything shy of $4,400. Yowza. Time to put the house on a second mortgage.
There is no better way to have the feds on to you than dead bodies climbing out of your yard. Living-Dead bodies that is. Artist Alan Dickinson, master of self-incrimination, has created his most haunting image of yard sculptures to date.
The Zombie of Montclaire Moors let’s all your neighbors know that you’re one sick puppy. This zombie could burrow its way out of your yard scaring would be trespassing kids for a whopping $89.95, but why not just kill a bunch of people and bury them half way up in your front yard for free. One thing’s for sure, this sculpture won’t decompose.
