This amigurumi Millenium Falcon is absolutely adorable. It perfect for smuggling contraband, because what Imperial ship would stop something so cute?

Etsy crafter Mysterious Cats will sell you the pattern for about $8(USD). Actually turning it into the cool ship above is up to you at that point. Once completed, your amigurumi Millennium Falcon will measure about 7.7” long and 6.7” wide, so it is a nice sized ship for your desk or wherever.

This seller also has patterns for the X-Wing, a TIE Fighter, Boba Fett’s Slave I and many others. They are just too cute. You could have an entire crochet fleet.

This giant Cthulhu plush toy is great for so many things. It’s decorative of course, can be used as a kids seat, a giant pillow with arms that wrap around you, and even crib decor as seen here. Of course you risk scarring your child for life.

So what if your child never ever goes for a swim. That’s nothing next to the fun you’ll have scaring him or her with this giant beast. It even has a freakish gaping mouth that looks as scary as the rest of it. This crazy huge Cthulhu monster was made by Etsy seller KfiatekGiftedHands and it certainly makes a statement in your nursery.

Unfortunately, this thing will cost you a wallet-eating $460(USD) or so. On top of that, you need to pay to have it shipped from the U.K. Hey giant Cthulhus don’t come cheap.

If you owned a Nintendo GameCube, odds are you played one of the most popular games available on that system called the Legend of Zelda: The Wind Waker. This games all players playing as a boy from an island whose sister was kidnapped by a massive bird. That boy, Link, commandeered a sailboat and went on a quest to save his dear sister.

Nintendo has announced that it has refreshed that game with high-resolution graphics and new features for the Wii U console. The remastered version of the game has enhancements to make the game better, including Miiverse functionality.

That allows Internet-connected gamers to put notes into Tingle Bottles and toss them into the water where they wash up on shore and show up in another player’s game. The HD version of the game also includes the Swift Sail, which make Link’s sailboat faster.

The game launches today as a digital download in the Nintendo eShop for $49.99(USD). If you don’t like downloading games a packaged version will come for the same price on October 4.

Chart specialists – chartists? chartologists? – Pop Chart Lab crammed all 709 officially released games for the NES in one print. The spiral chart has 8 arms, each representing a different genre – platformer, RPG, fighter etc. – although they also classified some games under “multi-genre.”

The games are arranged chronologically, with over 100 tiny illustrations for the 8-bit console’s notable games such as Super Mario Bros., Mega Man and the infamous Battletoads.  The print measures 24″ x 36″ so I don’t think it will be hard to read or recognize what’s on it. Here’s a closer look at the print:

Pop Chart Lab is selling The Nebula of NES Games print for $32 to $147 (USD) depending on the finishing option. You can order just the print, have it framed, mounted on a panel or installed with hanging rails.
