Guy Walks on Ceiling with Homemade Magneto Boots, Laughs Maniacally

Check out this video of Colin Furze (the maniac who gave us those cool Wolverine claws) walking on the ceiling using his newly-completed, homemade Magneto boots. I question his sanity after seeing him laughing hysterically over the feat. Magneto never got that excited. This is proof that you respect a super power more if you have to earn it, rather than being born with it.

He did have the good sense to try it on a low ceiling though. That’s several small steps on the ceiling for man, one giant leap for nerdkind who have spare electromagnets at home.

Here’s some behind-the-scenes videos of how Colin made the boots and how he learned to walk in them:

Not to be mean or anything, but it would have been funny if he got stuck and had to hang there until help arrived.

Build Your Own BMO from Adventure Time: BYO BMO

Adventure Time fans are for the most part, very creative people. That’s probably why they love the show, because it is so creative and unique. Fans of the show create all kinds of cool art and toys. Now a very creative Adventure Time fan who goes by the name of Bob H built this BMO.

It looks pretty amazing huh? He can change it’s facial expressions and BMO even sings. BMO also plays the intro to the cartoon. Now I want one. It’s like BMO jumped out of the cartoon and is living in your treehouse now. If you want to build one for yourself, you can learn how.

Best BMO creation ever!

Bean Bag Iron Throne: A Song of Beads and Foam

The Iron Throne in Westeros is not supposed to be comfortable. Those swords that jab you when you sit in it keep you alert, therefore alive for another day. But who wants to poked and prodded by their own throne? Well, now you can have your very own Iron Throne and sit in comfort.

Nerd by Night has turned the Iron Throne into an epic bean bag chair. If you want one like it, you’ll have to make this throne yourself, but that beats going to war and having to pay the iron price, right? To make one, you won’t need any valerian steel, but you’ll need to cut and paint fabric, sew it into place, and stuff it with foam and bean bag beans. When you are finished, you will have a comfortable throne.

DIY Spider-Man Wrist Shooters Ditch Webs for Harpoons & Lasers

Perhaps inspired by The Amazing Spider-Man 2, prop weapon maker Patrick Priebe made a couple of wrist-mounted weapons that are triggered just like Spidey’s web-shooters.

One of the weapons shoots a tiny harpoon. It also has a winch that turns it into a Spider-Man and Scorpion mashup. Get over here!

The other weapon is a Priebe staple: a laser. Both weapons have laser sights as well.

Swing over to Patrick’s YouTube page or his website for more of his gizmos.

LEGO Vocaloid Hatsune Miku is Life-sized and a Bit Creepy

I’m not much for animation outside of Archer, so I am not too familiar with Vocaloid and its animated star Hatsune Miku. I am a fan of LEGO construction though, and the thought of building a life-sized recreation of an animated character is interesting.

That is exactly what LEGOmaniac Chaos Brick has done with the construction of a life-size Hatsune Miku. There is no indication of exactly how tall the LEGO build is, or how many bricks were used, but the character is supposed to be 5’2″ and presumably “life-sized” matches those dimensions.

vocaloid 4 300x250
vocaloid 5 300x250
vocaloid 6 300x250
vocaloid 2 300x250

The builder made everything from the characters green hair to her thigh high socks. The detail in the face is impressive and it looks like everything was made from LEGO. Check out the pictures to see the construction process.
