We're used to typing in our "secure" credit card information, billing address, and waiting 1 to however many weeks it takes, to get our stuff. Online shopping in Russia is a little different.

Russian computer modders are really on a roll recently. The newest PC mod from the Russian mind is this amazing Cyberpunk PC, which looks more like the device used to jack in to the Matrix than just some piece of hardware you use to surf the web. Completely devoid of a case, the Cyberpunk PC opts to expose all of ...

Russia is known for two things. Commies and Matryoshka dolls. Over the years, there have been some super creative Matryoshka nesting dolls designed and displayed, and this set is one of the coolest I’ve seen. Instead of the typical pear shaped Russian broad, this Matryoshka set is composed of a visual evolution of the mobile phone. Starting from the days ...

I can’t even begin to tell you how many countless hours of my life were once wasted on Tetris for the original Nintendo Game Boy. I was 3 or 4 years old and would play the living shit out of that game. My mother would too and could easily reach levels upwards of 100. I suppose that on the 25th ...

These matryoshkas just happen to be Super Mario Bros.-flavored. Custom designed by Flickr user cmsturmhous, these dolls would look awesome in any gaming room if you could somehow convince the maker ...

In the days of the Cold War, espionage was a big deal. This was back when spy bots didn’t exist and spies relied on obtaining information personally. If you weren’t a spy, you might as well have swallowed cyanide because during the Cold War everyone was a spy. That’s why Brian Dereu wants to cash in on spy-wannabes everywhere. He’s ...

In Russia, you don’t mod car. Car mods you! This Alien car was created by some bored people in the frozen tundra of Krasnoyarsk, Russia. It looks like they created a mold to place on top of a car (that resembles a PT Cruiser) and then painstakingly painted it. Not only does it look downright beautiful, it’ll definitely keep thieves ...
