Talking Cave Johnson Portal 2 Portrait
Cave Johnson is, in my opinion, the funniest character in Portal 2. (Take that, Wheatley!) With this Talking Cave Johns Portal 2 Portrait, you too can have the hilarious quotes of Cave Johnson echoing throughout your spacious home. The portrait is motion activated, so it will say something whenever someone walks buy. (There’s also a button, but what’s the fun in that?) The Talking Cave Johnson Portrait costs $40, and says 12 phrases plus the rant about lemons. If you haven’t heard …

Why The 3DS Mario Kart Steering Wheel Is A Terrible Idea
Hori has developed a steering wheel for the 3DS that costs a mere $16. This post is here to save you from the VERY OBVIOUS pitfalls of any steering wheel for the Nintendo 3DS. Hori’s add-on is going to launch with the new Super Mario Kart games, in hopes that people will buy both together. Allow me to let you in on something secret: they will. And when they do, they will be disappointed. Not only will the 3DS Mario Kart steering …

Gold Xbox 360 Controller: So Shiny, Yet So Lackluster
The Gold Xbox 360 Controller, which is a modded controller being auctioned off for $80 on eBay, is really not my thing. Gadgetcustoms is a top-rated seller, so I’m sure the controller and the rapid fire functions both work great, but the design isn’t really jiving with me. If you were going to spend a solid $80 on a modded Xbox 360 controller, why would you go for the “all gold” look as opposed to a controller with custom LEDs and buttons? …

Would You Play Star Wars Gladiators? [Concept]
Star Wars Gladiators is a (rather rudimentary) video game concept posted by a user on Comic Book Movie (CBM). It’s been getting some positive feedback on that site, and I found it to be an interesting idea, so I figured I’d see what you guys think. Star Wars Gladiators was created by Christopher Fort, and is essentially a Star Wars version of Mortal Kombat. The designer has explained the game in detail and included a (hypothetical) full character list as well as describing …

Nyan Cat Redeemer Mod in Unreal Tournament 3
The Nyan Cat Redeemer Mod lets you use the famed Nyan Cat as a user-controlled homing missile in Unreal Tournament 3. You’re basically unstoppable, flying through the air with a rainbow trailing you, until you purposely crash into something and make it explode into a billion pieces! Reminds me of the colorful exploding ink truck, but with more EXPLOSION! And points, since it’s basically an automatic kill on anything. Here’s the link to the Nyan Cat Redeemer Mod, in case …

How Apple Won the Handheld Wars
By now, I’m fairly certain that you must have heard of Nintendo slashing prices off the Nintendo 3DS to adapt to a less-than-ideal market for their latest handheld device. With the system’s original MSRP of $250.00, a rather lackluster software library and no must-own AAA original title in sight, many pundits believe that the world just isn’t ready for an expensive hi-def handheld. However, this couldn’t be further from the truth. Instead, what people really should be looking at is the rise …

Super 3DS Cases Feature Nintendo and Star Wars Characters
Whataboutki, an Etsy user, has created a mega-ton of custom 3DS cases he calls Super 3DS Cases, and has them for sale on his Etsy page for $20 a pop Mountain Dew, because those things can make you SO HYPED UP.

Also, my boogers because I’m allergic to dust and I’m hiding in an air vent after …

Fallout Monopoly: The Classic Game, Now With Radiated Water
Fallout Monopoly, a mashup by Elisabeth Redel, codename socrazyamazingthebestgirlfriendeverawesomenesswoman PinkAxoloti, is making me rethink my no-girlfriend policy. They take my money, take my time, and (occasionally) borrow my soul without permission. Also, the right side of my heart. I take my girlfriends to movies, and even pay for my own ticket! (Not hers, of course, I’m a cheap little man.) Elisabeth Redel has finally set a good example for all of those geeky girlfriends by making her boyfriend an amazing Fallout version …
