Hasta La Gadget!

Ah, the board game party. One of life’s most fulfilling evenings. Gathering together with your friends to really liven up your night with a little Trivia Pursuit and SceneIt! Maybe some Dungeons and Dragons or Magic: The Gathering for the geekier among you. Maybe that’s not your kinda party, though. Maybe you need a little more action in your life. Maybe you want to feel the excitement physically. Maybe you want to hurt the ones you love. Well, then I think I found your next party game. This game doesn’t test your wits or how much you happen to know about the Belarus national anthem. This game is all about reflexes. And when you don’t win, you lose big. It just seems like a pretty sadistic thing to do to your friends, but I guess if you all agree to it you might as well hook yourselves up to this Lightning Reaction Reloaded game and shock each other all night.

Nothing on Earth brings out the imagination better than Nerf. I mean, it’s one thing to build something amazing in a game or use those crazy little bricks, but with Nerf you actually get to play it out. Like… outside. In a field. Or abandoned factory. And with this Sword and Shield from Nerf, now you can pretend to be something more than a well-armed mercenary with a Nerf gun. Now you can be Link in Ocarina of Time! Link is what it first reminded me of, and I do love that game. I guess you could also be a knight or a futuristic warrior poet. Whatever. The point is, your imagination is one step away from being fueled at a 23% discount. More »

I bought the iPhone 4 when it first came out. I bought the first black case I could find. I stuck it on there, and I’ve never taken it off. The case to my phone isn’t important to me, but it seems to be important to a lot of people as the iPhone Accessories industry is a pretty big booming business. I’ve never understood that myself, although I once considered buying a Hello Kitty case just because. Same reason I own a pink Xbox controller and a pink snowboard. Still, if you’re going to invest in some fancy iPhone accessories, why not pick one that’s not only protective but also functional? Think of all the time you’d save scrounging for that bottle opener when this Bottle-Opener Case has one hooked onto the back! This is a life-changer, and it’s at a discount. More »

I’ve always loved July 4th. Independence Day is one of my favorite holidays. I love the barbecues with potato salad and corn on the cob. I love sitting around watching that awesome Will Smith movie just cause it has that great Bill Pullman speech in it. Back home in Indiana we had the Fishers Freedom Festival and we could watch the fireworks from our garage. Of course, some of you might live somewhere fireworks aren’t allowed, like where those terrible wildfires are currently raging in the western U.S. If that’s the case, this Uncle Milton Fireworks Light Show might be a great substitute to the real thing.

Can I tell you my favorite thing about the current Spider-Man franchise? Bruce Campbell. I’m assuming it’s because Sam Raimi directed the movies that he’s associated with it at all, but I love Campbell’s narration in the video games. I know he’s in each of the movies briefly, too, but his voiceovers in the game are great. Apparently, despite the franchise’s reboot, he’s still doing some voice over work in the new game, too. That’s exciting. Of course, if you’re less of a video game person and more of a “dress up like Spider-Man during off hours” person, you’re probably more interested in this deal. This Spider-Man Mega Blast Web Shooter is the perfect accessory for your cosplay desires, and since in this version of Spider-Man he actually does invent a Web Shooter instead of the random spider-bite-induced superpower from the Raimi version, it actually makes sense now, too!
