James T. Kirk has commanded several versions of the Starship Enterprise, now let him command your feet. Beam these Captain Kirk crew socks onto your feet today. Your sock drawer needs a tough, no-nonsense leader to keep the rest of your socks in line. Kirk is comfortable on your feet and he knows how to handle first contact with the ground and every contact after.
Captain Kirk socks are especially good if your feet have corns Gorns, because he knows how to take care of those too. I like how they have his arms at the side as he clenches his fist like he is going to punch his way out of your shoes. These socks will surely get you the ladies. Green ladies, blue ladies with antenna, tribble ladies, ladies with beaks, ladies with ridged heads, and so much more.
These officially-licensed Star Trek socks are one size fits most (up to men’s size 12). They’ll get you through life’s challenges like the Kobayashi Maru, Tholian webs, aliens turning into piles of salt, and having to sit through Spock playing alien musical instruments.
Other than the Spock socks, these are the best socks ever. They belong in your crew quarters, and on your feet. Grab a pair today at ThinkGeek for $9.99.

If you think you’ve collected all of the Transformers toys, think again. There’s one Transformers toy that’s missing from your collection. That’s because the Transformers Generations Collaborative: Ghostbusters Mash-Up, Ecto-1 Ectotron Figure is not available yet.
But you can pre-order it now from GameStop – with shipping starting this July. This is the Transformers/ Ghostbusters mashup you never knew you needed until now. The iconic Ecto-1 Cadillac from the 1984 Ghostbusters movie is now a Transformers robot called “Ectotron.” The 7-inch long figure comes with his own Proton Pack accessory and a Slimer accessory. It converts between Ecto-1 and robot modes in 22 steps. This piece has some great detail and is going to look amazing in your collection whether you display it in Ecto-1 mode or as a robot. I prefer the car to the robot myself.
Who ya gonna call? Hasbro apparently. Now if we could only transform the Ghostbusters reboot into something decent, life would be perfect. Can you help with that Hasbro? I wish you could. But this is a start to helping me forget about it.

Overwatch fans will soon have another way to play the game. Hasbro will soon release a Monopoly Overwatch Collector’s Edition as well as a bunch of other Overwatch themed toys. Unlike regular Monopoly, players will need to choose a group lead, draft a team, and then battle for the high score. So if your family is bugging you to get off of your console and interact with the humans sitting next to you, here is another great way to play.
Instead of real-world locations and Chance cards, this game has places found in the video game and also loot boxes. It also has tokens based on the key characters of the game, like D.Va, Lucio, Mercy, Reaper, Tracer (AKA Lena Oxton), and Winston. Aside from that, it has 6 group leader cards, 21 character cards, 16 objective cards, 9 loot box cards, 4 reminder cards, 1 numbered die, 1 ability die, 90 plastic HP chips (50 fives and 40 ones), and the Game Guide. The board game Monopoly will arrive in April for $49.99, and you can preorder it now from GameStop.
In addition, Hasbro will be releasing a series of Overwatch Ultimates action figures. These 6-inch figures include Lucio, Reaper, Sombra, Tracer, Reinhardt, and some dual-character packs. The single figures are $22.99 and the dual packs are $49.99.

Peanut butter is one of our favorite foods. People love it. Peanut butter and jelly, peanut butter in our chocolate. Hell, we even give it to animals so it can make their mouths sticky, so we can film YouTube videos that make them look like they’re talking. But I guess it’s just too much work for some people to dig around inside the jar with a knife and spread it. And for those folks, there’s the Peanut Butter Pump.
It’s exactly what it sounds like – a pump that dispenses peanut butter. Patent-pending of course. Inventor Andy Scherer obviously thinks it is a game changer. It uses a sliding “airlock” mechanism to get the peanut butter into the pump and dispense a fixed amount of spread. You can control the thickness you want. This also scrapes the sides of the jar, so you can get every last bit. Although I wonder how much is wasted in the pump itself.
It comes with two nozzles: a sandwich nozzle for evenly spreading the sticky stuff, and a stream nozzle for dispensing peanut butter tubes for snacks. It even has measurements marked on the pump. If you are crazy about peanut butter, this is the kitchen gadget for you.
You can pre-order the Peanut Butter Pump on Indiegogo by dropping $25 or more.

It’s listed as “one size fits most” and can be yours for $34.99 over at ThinkGeek. Just don’t use it to vaporize half the world’s population.

Google Duo is a video calling app, not unlike the many others that you can find for a mobile device. The company has seen considerable success with this app, particularly in India. OnePlus has seen just how popular this app has become and has now decided to make it the native video call app on its smartphones going forward. Google launched Duo some two and a half years ago.
OnePlus says that it conducted a research study with users earlier in 2018 on video calling capability. It found that Google Duo ranked the highest in terms of call quality. This has convinced the company to introduce Google Duo as a native function for video calls on its devices.
Google Duo will be made the native video calling app with the stable OxygenOS 9.0.12 build on the OnePlus 6T and OxygenOS 9.0.4 for the OnePlus 6, 5, and 5T. It will eventually arrive on the OnePlus 3 and 3T as well with the Pie update.
Once the update is installed, Google Duo will be integrated across multiple native functions such as call logs, contacts, dial pad, and messaging. It won’t take away the traditional carrier video calling option for users so nobody will be compelled to use Google Duo when they don’t want to.
