Hasta La Gadget!

This business card trumps all others. Just give up. You can’t win. This is the ultimate business card. It is designed to look like a Nintendo Game Boy and it even includes a working version of Tetris.

Not only will you get the job, but your new boss will be very busy playing Tetris all day long, so you can slack off once you’re hired. Kevin Bates created this awesome business card, which is just 1.6 millimeter thick and based on a stripped down Arduino board. A coin cell battery powers the whole thing for nine hours of life.

Well done sir. May I have your card? I’m not hiring or buying anything, I just want to play a quick game or two.

Avid PlayStation gamer Blackangel887462 loves to collect Platinum trophies, a virtual achievement awarded for obtaining all of the lower tier – Bronze, Silver and Gold trophies – achievements in a PlayStation game. To celebrate his 500th Platinum trophy he commissioned a replica of the award.

Even though it’s not made of platinum, the trophy still cost Blackangel887462 quite a bit of change. He won’t say the exact amount, only that the trophy turned out to be more expensive than four DualShock 4 controllers, which more or less adds up to $240 (USD).

500 completed games and a real Platinum trophy? You have a lot to live up to Blackangel887463.

[SPOILERS] Craftsman and artist Mick Minogue made action figure-style woodcuts of some of Westeros’ infamously battered – or worse – characters for the Winter is Coming art show at the Ltd. Art Gallery. Needless to say, the figures give away some of the novels’ plot points and are most certainly not for kids.

Mick also made high quality packaging for the action figures, each with a funny blurb that alludes to the fate of the characters. Mick also said that the art show is based not on the HBO TV series Game of Thrones but on George R.R. Martin’s A Song of Ice and Fire novels, allowing Mick and the other artists to give their own interpretations of how the characters looked.

That last figure. Man. You’re on Arya’s list now Mick. Mick made eight action figures; if you can’t check them out at the Ltd. Gallery, keep an eye on Mick’s Facebook page, where he’ll share photos of the other toys. Mick also said he might make more aside from the ones he made for the show. It’s not like he’s lacking for material.

I’ve seen stained glass Transformers and lamps done up to look like helmets, but this is the first time I’ve seen the two combined. This awesome handmade Tiffany stained glass lamp is sure to make any fan of Optimus Prime very happy.

It was made by 3rdEdgeStainedGlass, who spent over 80 hours making it using stained glass, copper foil and solder. The lamp measures in at about 14″ (h) x 12″(w) x 12″(d).

It’s available over on Etsy for a whopping $1150(USD). For that kind of money you’d better hope that there aren’t any Decepticons lurking around your house ready to smash it.

The Doctor Who merchandising machine has reached down bestowed us with yet another piece of swag. A new product is coming your way that is really cool and reminds me a bit of the box forts we made as kids. Rather than having to get out the markers and a steak knife to customize your own cardboard creation, all you have to do is put this one together.

The finished product is a life-size TARDIS replica. According to the product description, the cardboard TARDIS measures 55″ square and stands 180″ tall. That second dimension doesn’t sound right though. That would make the guy in the picture a 10-foot-tall giant. Also, this TARDIS isn’t any bigger on the inside. It’s exactly as it looks on the outside – minus the thickness of the cardboard.

You can pre-order the cardboard contraption from Urban-Collector for $224.99(USD). The estimated release for the cardboard TARDIS is May 2014. This would go very well with your TARDIS cat condo.
