Once again, ThinkGeek has convinced me that I MUST HAVE something that I don’t really need. I have four coffee mugs on my desk right now. But, now that I think about it, they are all dirty. And if I buy one of these, not only do I not have to clean them, I get to show off my nerdocity with every sip of my peppermint tea. SOLD.
Here’s another one for the Christmas wish list. Finally, we can use our Rock Band skills to create an actual band. And we won’t have to pay for roadies because there’s nothing to haul around! WHEEEEE!!
I hate it when I come up with an idea, put it on the back burner and then see someone else do it. This is one of those times. The good news is, Trase- aKa Patcher aKa Tr45e, did a great job with this mod in which he replaced 1327 sounds (I’m surprised he didn’t go for 1337) in Half-Life 2 with his own vocal stylings. Pretty funny stuff.
Who says princesses need to be rescued? Long gone are the days of damsels in distress. Now we’ve got damsels in distrust – ladies who have given up on ever having some dude come sweep them off their feet and away from all things perilous. This shirt from ThinkGeek.com shows the world that you may be a princess, but you can rescue yourself without the help of any over-promising plumbers.
Anyone who thinks in chocolate and can’t appreciate a wireless controller and a boyfriend willing to share his game time doesn’t deserve to be in a relationship!
This is the work of Livejournal user, James White. He just did a post with step-by-step pictures showing how he took some blocks of wood and turned them into awesome. I think James needs to have a talk with some cake companies and work out a deal where he makes companion cubes as a way to deliver birthday cakes. And, just because I’m such a nice, giving person, I’d be happy to beta test that delivery service just to make sure it all works out.
Do you still play the Nintendo Wii with friends? Do you have any friends who have not yet come up with a Mii and insist on taking five hours to create one before they’ll play anything with you? Well thanks to Mike Song, you’re no longer forced to sit on the couch gritting your teeth and thinking “COME ON!!!! THAT DOESN’T EVEN FUCKING LOOK LIKE YOU!!!”
Mike invented the Wii Mii song dance as part of the class he taught for Boogiezone’s “Boogiezone University” event. Now you can watch and learn. And the next time your friends take too long to create their Mii, you can bust out your new moves.
First, I would like to say thank you to Mike Song for his invention. Secondly, I would like to say that getting to tell people you work at a place called “Boogiezone University” is pretty awesome.
P.S. I would like to state for the record that the original title of this article was “Dance with Mii.” I then changed it thinking “Come on, Kate. The Wii puns are so fucking old and done with. Come up with something better.” But I couldn’t. So it became “The Wii Dance.” And then I was sad that no one would see my Dance with Mii joke. So I started this P.S. I’m not sure which part of that story is the most pathetic.
Oh, man. I really wish these were real. According to technabob, this is just an image of a foam model, not a sample of something I can immediately buy on impulse which is a damn shame.
With everything going compact and recycled, it was only a matter of time before some modder figured out this awesomeness:
This is the work of French modder, Kotomi. The final product has has an on/off switch, reset button, 2 joystick ports, a port for cartridges, video output, stereo audio and a 6V input supply.
