Hasta La Gadget!

There doesn’t have to be a zombie apocalypse for you to need an emergency radio. This year has been a whirlwind of natural disasters in the United States: out-of-control wildfires in the West, freak electricity-crippling lightning storms in the East, and a massive drought in the Middle. The world has gone insane, people, and we need to be prepared! Anything could happen at any time. Quick, before the power goes out, buy this $10 Eton American Red Cross Emergency Radio, and tune in to hear news of the apocalypse. More »

My desktop computer is one I put together myself back in 2008. I was stationed in Greece and I didn’t really have much else to do. I haven’t updated it much since then, and it’s definitely due, but I like it. The thing I really liked about it was how cheap it ended up being. I didn’t pay as much as I was expecting to and because of that I splurged a little extra on the monitor. I already had a monitor I was going to use but it was small and old. The thought of getting a 24″ monitor seemed ridiculous! I was very excited. There was an obvious jump in price between even a 23″ and a 24″ then, so I think most people with my money would just settle. That one inch felt like all the power in the world. Hopefully for someone out there, this 24″ LG LCD Monitor can offer the same level of excitement. More »

Remote-controlled flying machines really seem to be all the rage these days! I mean, don’t get me wrong… they’re awesome! But is it possible this is already a saturated market? The machines really have a broad appeal! Kids, adults, weird adults, the military. Everyone wants to get in on this action! So I suppose if you’re going to create a flying machine, you might as well create one that can fly upside down! That’ll work as a gimmick, right? Sure it will if you add a little discount incentive to top it off! More »

After the decline of Age of Empires 2 and the release of Microsoft’s Xbox, I gave up on PC Gaming for the most part. The one company that could keep me crawling back without disappointing me was Valve. And then when The Orange Box came out… Valve on a console! Well, that’s just the single greatest idea anyone has had since renaming Jumpman. Or so I thought… cause buried inside that box that let me replay all my favorite Half-Life 2 moments was another slice of heaven. My friends didn’t believe me when I told them how crazy and new Portal was. It looked like a stupid puzzle game. No appreciation for the dark humor or the clever game mechanics. They could never appreciate a Portal Device Replica the way I could. Maybe you’re not like them though and you salivate at the thought. Well, here it is at a 30% discount. You’re welcome. More »

Sometimes an item is just so much that it’s not quite enough. Today’s item is a perfect example. This is an electronic Darth Maul mask that doesn’t just look like the Sith villain from The Phantom Menace, it sounds like him, too. But if you’re going to go that far, go all the way. Get a Star Wars Hoodie so it looks like you’re dressed for the part. Get a real lightsaber and see if you can modify it to the double-bladed one Darth Maul used. The point is, if you’re going to get the mask it’s just not enough to be as fully ridiculous into the Star Wars role-play as you obviously want to be. If you’re going to join the Dark Side and wear this thing around, you might as well go nuts! More »
