Do you miss playing one of your favorite games? Or have you played so many games that you can’t name them all? Perhaps you just want to kill time thinking about your favorite pastime? If you answered yes to any of those questions, head to GameLogos.

Whoever runs GameLogos doesn’t discriminate. You’ll find logos from a variety of platforms and eras, from classics like Uncharted Waters: New Horizons to games that have yet to come out like Broken Age and mobile apps like Draw Something. And something called Call of Cookie. I must see what that’s about.

GameLogos is far from perfect: its only attempt at organization is through tags; it doesn’t even have a search box. Also for a site obsessed with logos its own logo is kinda plain. I’m sure some of you would rather look at cover art than logos alone. But like Please Press Start and other videogame archives, GameLogos is still a veritable time sink, especially if you’ve played through several generations of games. The fact that the blog scrolls endlessly helps too.

Everyone knows it’s important to water the garden, but what about watering the furniture? Normally, that might just be proof of insanity, but if you plant a few of these of these customizable chairs, it’s just the first step to growing a nice crop of outdoor stools.

Do your pens go missing every once in a while, even though you’re sure you left them at your desk? Pen thieves are everywhere, especially at the office, so if you don’t take care and keep your stuff when they’re not in use, then chances are they’ll go missing once you leave your desk or cubicle.

My suggestion for your pens is to replace them with these ones. They look like blades of grass stuck in a plant pot, but remove one and you’ll see that it’s actually a pen in disguise.

The pens come in three different shades of green to make it look like you’ve got actual grass in that pot. While people will eventually catch on that those are pens and not grass, they’ll still ward off would-be thieves because it would be extremely obvious if they go to work one day with a green grass pen in their pocket.

Each Pooleaf pen costs about $5 (USD), which means you’ll spend quite a bit if you want to fill an entire pot with them. They don’t come with the pot either, but those are easy to find anyway.

Pretty much anyone who walks into a bar or diner in a group is scanning for a booth. It’s just nicer to eat five plates of cheese fries in your own space. And the architects at Australian firm Techne clearly agree because they used concrete pipes to create seating spaces in the redesigned bar at Melbourne’s Prahran Hotel. Finally some privacy.

The scariest thing in your kitchen—besides maybe the biggest, sharpest knives—is chicken juice; ain’t nobody want salmonella. And what better way to have fun with that fear than by having a hand towel that looks eerily similar to a slimey, raw chicken carcass? "Yeah, just rub this on your hands and everything will be fine."
