A True Godsend: In-Car Pizza Oven

Holy shit. Do you see what I see? I think so. It looks like a fucking pizza oven that plugs into your car’s cigarette lighter. Amazing. Forget delivery; I can only imagine going 80 down I-95 while popping in a fresh DiGiorno with the works. What will they think of next? $36 and an extra $100 a month on your ...

World Cup Figurines Become USB Drives Post-Decapitation

I can hardly pretend to love soccer with the same devotion as some of you. Here’s how you know someone doesn’t love soccer as much as you. Number one, they don’t drink tea at a certain time every day. Two, they drive on the right side of the road. Three, they say mile instead of kilometer. But if you are ...

Nostalgia: Capcom Pad Soldier

I’d like to share with you a bit of my childhood. After I bitched enough that SEGA Genesis wasn’t making the grade, my parents got me a Super Nintendo. A few years later, I would be in Babbages (remember those before GameStop bought ’em out?) and spotted this Capcom Pad for the SNES for a mere $14.99. I bought it. ...

Floppy Flash Drive

Don’t go getting any ideas with the title, mister. This here is straight out of the Doom and Apogee days. Shareware anyone? Keep your games, movies and other things totaling larger than 1.44MB on this floppy disk flash drive. I have no idea who made it, how much it costs or if it requires OS/2. Link

The Wii Bowling Ball Acessory

Is this really necessary? Come on now. At this point the list of available Nintendo Wii accessories is getting out of control. What’s next? An egg whisk add-on that I can use to play those ridiculous cooking games? No thanks. Link

Crystal Clear Nintendo DSi Shell

Personally, putting new shells on consoles was never my thing. I never understood why someone would risk taking apart their shiny new PlayStation or Sega Dreamcast so that they could wrap it up in a clear, translucent layer of plastic. But such is life, as well as this Nintendo DSi case. Created by accessories manufacturer XCM, the shell lets you ...

Atari 2600 iPod Dock

What is the deal with all these people ripping apart perfectly good video game consoles in favor of upgrading them with the latest technology? Sometimes retro is better! That being said, this is a nice looking iPod dock. It’s a broken iPod clock/radio shoved inside an Atari 2600 shell. My guess is that this mod took no more than an ...

Review: JBL/Roxy Reference 250 Headphones

JBL has always been a purveyor of fine audio, which makes total sense considering its parent company is Harmon Kardon. A few years back, I reviewed some Reference 220 earbud headphones, which were affordable and sounded great on the iPod. This time around, JBL has teamed up with Quiksilver’s surfin’ sister company Roxy on a line of headphones that are ...

Eye-Fi Pro Released

While amateur photographers have long enjoyed the luxury of the WiFi-enabled Eye-Fi SD card, pros will be happy to know that there’s finally a solution available for them. For $150, you’ll cop a 4GB SD card that supports WiFi uploading, the ability to choose which pictures go where and RAW imaging support. Gizmodo reviewed it and says it’s great, so ...

Bizarre WWF USB Penguin is Suspiciously Inhumane

The World Wildlife Fund (WWF) has done something ballsy. They’ve created a USB drive designed to look like an endangered species. And how do you actually use the USB drive? By ripping the endangered species’s body in half. Apparently a penguin doesn’t “need” its upper torso. I’m sure the WWF has nothing but the best intentions for penguins, but ripping ...
