The six-sided die is one of the most recognizable symbols of gaming and gambling. But as Dr. Matt Fleming states, cubes don’t roll well. You know what does? A dodecahedron. So Matt put the numbers one through six twice on a 12-sided die. Hence the name Doublesix Dice.
Aside from being 12-sided, Doublesix Dice also have the same number of pips printed on opposing sides. Matt says this makes the dice more balanced compared to ordinary six-sided die.
Roll a browser then head to Kickstarter to get Doublesix Dice. A pledge of at least $10 (USD) gets you a pack of 12 dice.

So it is no secret that Battlefield 4 is a buggy game, to the point where EA could actually be sued. In any case the bug fixes are ongoing and for PS4 gamers, you guys might have on more than one occasion come across the dreaded CE-34878-0 crash. Unfortunately this error code is not specific, but rather a general error message meaning that there’s no telling what might have caused the problem, and DICE is turning to PS4 gamers to help them figure out what exactly it is.
As with most software crashes, developers usually ask users of the application if they would like to submit an error report on the issue so they know how to improve it. Most of the time we’re not sure if what we sent even gets read, but DICE assures gamers that they read every single submission. According to DICE’s Tommy Rydling, “We know that players on PS4 can get the ‘CE-34878-0 crash’ error message. This is in fact a general error code that you can receive when the game has crashed for a number of different reasons that are not related […] You can help us to identify these individual issues by providing a few details in the crash report (we read all of them.) For example what game mode you were playing and on what map you crashed. Doing this will help us a lot to reproduce the issues and investigate fixes for them in upcoming patches.”
So PS4 gamers, the next time you encounter this issue and are thinking of skipping on submitting a report, perhaps you could take a couple of minutes to fill it up so DICE and fix the problem ASAP!

So, standard dice aren’t doing it for you. There are a ton of special dice sets that you can buy to spice things up a bit. Although I think these are the first I’ve ever seen with thorns sticking out of them. Roll your dice, move your mice. Just make sure you play with a paper towel, some gauze and some antiseptic. Things are about to get real in this game. Real painful.
This set of 3D printed thorn dice was designed by Shapeways contributor ceramicwombat. You can get plastic versions for as low as $27(USD), but that set isn’t dangerous enough for a true gamer. You are going to want the $82 metal set so you can play like a man. A man with bleeding hands. Just kidding. They shouldn’t cut you up too bad. I think.
Plus, these die are an excellent way to get revenge on your kids for leaving LEGO bricks on the floor for you to step on. Oh, sorry son, I guess I left MY toys on the floor this time. The Band-Aids are over here. Now stop crying.

D & D & D. Dungeons & Dragons and Drinks. That’s what you’ll be enjoying when you fix your cocktails using this special d20 ice cube mold.
The two-part silicone mold makes a beautiful ice facsimile of an oversize d20 die. Just put it in a rocks glass with a little 130-proof whiskey and serve it up to deliver a critical hit on your opponents.
If you’d rather not make ice with it, you can also use the mold to create chocolate or soap d20s – though soap isn’t nearly as tasty as the other options. So gather up your gold pieces and head on over to ThinkGeek, where you can grab the d20 ice mold for $11.99(USD).
