As an admitted Snuggie lover, I know what sort of effect the Snuggie can have on your love life, or lack there of. The Snuggie is such a sterile piece of gear that even those of you in steady relationships will notice a steep decrease in sexual activity once you purchase the blanket with arms. But all of that negativity ...

King Midas might have missed his true calling. Transforming gaming consoles into golden pieces of luxurious entertainment. Computer-Choppers offers a sneak peek at their PS3 Slim dipped in 24-karat gold. Only five of these golden geese will be produced, so the price is sure to be even more extravagant than just a “normal” golden PS3. Link [via]

Even if my NES were still around, I doubt it would work. There’s something about sitting around in a dusty closet that doesn’t work well with the functioning hardware of gaming consoles. But don’t let it’s inability to work get you down. There are still plenty of possibilities. The NEStickle is a Sanwa joystick, including buttons, built right inside of ...

I’ve never claimed to be the most hygienic blogger among us, nor have I claimed to vacuum my humble apartment as regularly as I should, but I imagine if I had a cleaning rig like this, I might just set-out to clean my home at least once a week. Utilizing five different Roombas instead of only one, which we’ve seen ...

When I think wedding cakes I think five foot tall tiered monsters, not one leveled gaming cakes. Don’t get me wrong, I think this cake would be absolutely AWESOME for a birthday or anniversary or even just a gaming get-together, but I think something as sacred as a geeky wedding calls for a little more than a single level Tetris ...

And it’s in good company. Also being inducted to the Strong National Museum of Play’s Toy Hall of Fame this year is the ball. That’s right, the ball. I always felt the Game Boy never got its true dues. The Game Boy was it. Still is “it” as far as I’m concerned. What other handheld console can you honestly say ...

They don’t make gaming consoles like they used too. Do you think a PSP would be able to withstand a Gulf War bombing and live to tell the tale? That’s exactly what this Game Boy has managed to do. Despite being blown into a burnt plastic mess this Game Boy still somehow maintains the ability to trudge along its gaming ...

We’ve seen Mario’s henchmen in LEGO form before, but never have we seen the man himself quite like this. Weighing in at a massive 110 pounds and standing 5 feet 9 inches tall, this life sized Mario model is completely structured, modeled and built using� over 40,000 LEGO bricks. The pictures do all the talking here. Built specifically for the ...

The Wiimote is much more of a versatile tool than I think even Microsoft could have imagined. People have hacked the Wiimote to create some zany and awesomely practical mods. But I think “lawnmower control” is a new one. The Casmobot Lawnmower is navigated using nothing but a hacked Wiimote and the crafty engineering by several scientists at the University ...

I’m really digging this Space Invaders fabric I spotted over at Sprite Stitch. I would so rock a pillow set made out of this cloth. My house is just waiting to be upholstered in this material. Somehow I don’t feel my girlfriend would be very supportive of the idea. Link [via]
