Hasta La Gadget!

One of the truths about being married is that some days you want to choke your loving spouse. Not kill them mind you, just leave them unconscious on the floor where the dog can chew her hair into a matted mess, not that I have considered that. Not too long ago my wife sold my Star Wars wampa rug without me knowing it, and then spent the money. That’s grounds for divorce in some states.

I’ve been thinking of what she could do to make it up to me and this Millennium Falcon Bookcase on Etsy is the ticket. The Falcon bookcase comes from Whittled in Wood, the same artist that made the AT-AT bookcase that we talked about before. All the little compartments inside the bookcase can hold your books and other Star Wars junk you collect, at least until your spouse sells it off while you’re out of the house.

It’s made from plywood and birch with lots of wood screws and dowel rods. Unfortunately, it’s not cheap at $915(USD), but it is awesome. For that price, you still have to paint it yourself, as it comes in unfinished wood. Plus, there’s the $175 or so in shipping charges on top of that. But I figure that’s more than a reasonable trade for disposing of my $100 wampa rug.

It’s dangerous to go alone on an empty stomach. Take these. Doesn’t Link look delicious? Legend of Zelda, meet the legend of my hunger. These adorable and beautiful looking cookies were made Trinh Phan aka TheCookieCrave and they really are a geek work of art.

I love how colorful they look and I bet they taste amazing.

And you have to give their maker credit, she could have just posted the photo online, basked in all of our adoration and kept the recipe for herself while she sold them, raking in the Rupees. But no. She has given the world the recipe on her blog so that we can all make them and enjoy.

These coasters make a very simple statement. If you don’t beat the Space Invaders, your ass is grass. And they are the cosmic lawnmower. Can’t beat the high score? Let’s face it, this game is turf. I have a million of ‘em… and they are all that bad.

On the other hand, these coasters are pretty cool. You don’t see the Space Invaders come in a grass version very often. These are the work of Etsy artist LoveFromCyprus.

These Space Invaders don’t even bother forming ranks. They all shoot solo from the grassy knoll. They measure approximately 5″(w) x 3″(h) and will keep your furniture free from damage – though you will now have a house full of aliens.

You get six coasters for ~$20.87(USD), or eight coasters for ~$27.82(USD).

When I was a kid I used to love creating domino courses and watching them all fall in fun ways. I would never have the patience to do it today. Especially not anything as elaborate as what these people set up. This 20-foot-tall tower sat at the end of an array of over 100,000 dominoes.

The structure was designed and built by the group Austrian Domino Art with some help from HLUW Yspertal students. It took five months of preparation and four days of setup – and it is all over in a few short minutes. They now hold the record for tallest domino structure.

Their domino tower itself consisted of 11,465 dominoes! It is super fun to watch the lead-up to the big fall, as they incorporated some really cool elements throughout their domino construction. Check it out:

I’ve yet to play Animal Crossing: New Leaf – or any Animal Crossing game for that matter – because I’m afraid that I won’t be able to put my 3DS down if I get that game. It seems really addictive. If it’s already got its hooks on you, check out Edberg Panganiban’s Etsy shop, where he sells 3.75″ hand painted resin figures based on the game.

As of this writing these two dudes are the only ones left on Edberg’s shop, but you can also have him make figures out of your Animal Crossing character. Just reach out to him and send him a couple of images of your character. However, his services seem to be in demand at the moment and he’s announced that he won’t be able to finish future orders in time for Christmas.

Head to Edberg’s Etsy shop RezArmy to place an order. It’ll cost you more than a few bells to get a figure though. According to Polygon Edberg charges $40-$50 (USD) for figures with simple details and no accessories and up to $100 for more elaborate designs and accessories.
