This D20 lamp looks like an old world style lamp, but with one major geeky difference. The globe on top is shaped like a D20 die. It’s perfect for those dark, dank corners of your D&D gaming room.

Stained glass artist Claudia Malmberg made this. She also makes other items that merge stained glass and gaming dice, like clocks, planter, picture frames, and even a D2o bowl for holding all your dice. You can find them all in her Etsy shop Diceydecor.

Sure, you can’t roll a critical hit with it, but it will level up your room. If this lamp is geeky enough for you, it can be yours for $318(USD). It’s pretty neat. And it takes a night light bulb so it should be a nice gentle light to game by.

You won’t see phone booths as creative or as colorful as the ones you’ll find in Sao Paulo, Brazil. Typically, phone booths are made to look plain so they’ll blend in with the surroundings, and only the people actually looking for them will be able to really “see” them.

Well, not anymore.

Brazilian telco Vivo decided it was time to cast these telephone booths into the spotlight once and for all. To do so, they launched the Call Parade public art project, where they paired off 100 phone booths with a hundred artists.

The result is crazy amazing, and the phone booths are literally transformed into public displays of art.

Personally, I like the one with the pencil the best. Check out the full gallery of phone booths here (along with maps of their locations,) and tell me, which one’s your favorite?

I know not from whence this bacon demon comes from, but it definitely looks like it’s ready to kill you. And while it might just stare you down with its demonic yellow eyes, its real plan is to do you in the old fashioned way – with coronary artery disease.

And while that’s definitely not a pleasant way to go, at least you will have enjoyed its bacon-y goodness before it does you in. I’m not sure what else the bacon demon is made of, but I’m betting his torso, arms and head are some sort of delicious meatloaf – and there’s nothing quite as heavenly as a bacon-wrapped meatloaf. Anyone want to take a guess as to what the yellow stuff is? Looks like french fries and yellow peppers. Why do chefs insist on ruining perfectly good meals with bell peppers? All they do is give me a stomach ache and bad gas.

Dancing is fun. Robots are fun. Therefore, robot dance parties should rock the house. There’s nothing better then having a robot show up and dance his metal butt off to the music. It makes everyone smile. Okay, so what if a walking six-speaker sound system robot showed up at your party? It would be awesome right? You know it.

The guy in the costume is Chris. He really loves how people smile and brighten up and dance when he puts on that robot costume with the built-in speakers. He’s a good guy and just wants to spread happiness. And that’s why he has a Kickstarter project to upgrade the costume.

Some of what he wants to do includes: adding arduino hardware that would allow him to synchronize the light patterns with the music, upgrade the sound system, mount a tablet to the side with a music library so fans can pick their own songs, add a karaoke microphone + music selection and electronic sign to scroll lyrics… and so much more.

Robot dance parties are already awesome. Now help Chris knock it out of the park and make his dancing robot even more amazing. The fundraising goal is just $1,500. Right now $28 has been pledged with 18 days to go. Make it happen. Everbody needs more dancing robots.

I think we can be honest in that one of the worst superhero flicks to be based on a comic book hero ever was Daredevil. As cool as the movie could’ve been, the finished product we saw in the 2003 film was rather cheesy. With so many superhero franchises being rebooted recently, you may be wondering if someone’s going to try their hand again at Daredevil and the answer is “yes.”

Apparently, Fox has had the rights to make another Daredevil film for while. The holdup was that the chosen director, David Slade (The Twilight Saga: Eclipse, Hard Candy), dropped out of the project and Fox had to find a new director. Fox has now lined up director Joe Carnahan (Narc, The Grey). However, if Fox doesn’t start filming by October 10 rights to the character will revert to Marvel.

That would mean Marvel could sell the rights to another film company or do what it wanted with Daredevil. According to reports, Marvel is willing to let Fox hold onto the rights to Daredevil for a bit longer with one condition. Marvel, and its owner Disney, wants access to characters that Fox had previously licensed including Silver Surfer and Galactus. Legal discussions aside, we can only hope that with Carnahan’s dark and brooding style that his Daredevil actually gets made.
