Hasta La Gadget!

I don’t think I’ll ever get tired of Tetris. I used to play it on our old Nintendo console, but I’ve only recently rediscovered it when I saw it on the Google Play store.

Now, the classic game is jumping off of the screens of gaming consoles and tablets because now you can piece together Tetris pieces on your fridge with these officially-licensed Tetris magnets.

This isn’t the first time someone used the classic game to come up with an actual physical thing. Remember those Tetris cushions we showed you a couple of months ago?.. and the Tetris bookshelves?.. and the Tetris lamp?.. and the Tetris computer?.. and Analog Tetris?

Of course, none of the lines will clear off your fridge once you complete the entire row, but you could always just knock the magnets off by using a kitchen towel or oven mitt or something.

The Tetris magnets are available on Amazon for just $9.99(USD) for a pack of 49 – 7 each of 7 shapes. Black refrigerator recommended.

Perhaps it was because it gave me the chance to pretend I was a surgeon at age 10, or maybe it was just the risk of tiny shocks that made Operation one of my favorite childhood games. Of course, as I grew up, video games took over, and Mega Man was certainly in heavy rotation on my NES console. So when I saw this game which combines Operation and Mega Man, I though it would have been perfect for me when I was a kid.

This customized Operation game features the mighty and powerful Guts Man from the Mega Man games in place of Cavity Sam – yes, that guy had a name. It was made by toy hacker Kody Koala, who previously gave us the grotesque Gutsman anatomy doll. This mod got its start as an Iron Man Operation game and a Guts Man vinyl toy, bogth transformed by Mr. Koala into an awesome version of the classic electronic board game. As expected, all of his innards hanging out for you to perform various -ectomies on.

In place of classic guts like the Funny Bone and Spare Ribs, Guts Man has a Frozen Heat Pump and a Rusted Underbelly. The game is fully-functional, and even includes custom Gutsman inspired money to play with.  Of course, his chest light illuminates if you make any surgical gaffes – though I’m not sure what sounds he makes when you goof up. I’m guessing the ones from Iron Man Operation, since he has the exact same part names.

Of course, all of this awesomeness doesn’t come cheap. You’ll need to save up $225(USD) to get your hands on this thing. But if you’ve got the dough kicking around (and not Monopoly money), then head on over to Etsy and grab it up, before another budding surgeon does.

If you’re lucky and if you do things right, then you’ll probably only have to plan a marriage proposal only once in your entire lifetime. So why not expend the right amount of effort and pour excessive loads of creativity and thoughtfulness into it to give your significant other the proposal of her (or his) lifetime?

Redditor rad_rob gave it a shot with his iPad proposal. Eddie wowed his girl (and thousands of geeks worldwide) with his Iron Man arc reactor proposal.

Matthew, on the other hand, popped the question with a Kinder Surprise Egg.

Matthew and Lori used to buy and gift each other with Kinder Surprise Eggs all the time before they were banned a few years ago. So Matthew decided to use it as the basis for his proposal and painstakingly took the chocolate egg apart and replaced the toy inside with a robot figure that, when assembled, forms a tiny MatthewBot on bended knee.

Of course, the ring itself was also inside. And in case you were wondering, Lori said yes.

The Switch Bench is probably the funnest, quirkiest bench that I’ve seen in years. At first glance, you’ll see that the bench stays true to its name since it looks like a gigantic switch, like the ones you can commonly find on household appliances and voltage regulators.

But the switch (which pretty much comprises the entire bench) isn’t just there for show, because it actually works.

The fun begins when the sun sets. If you happen to come across the bench and, well, want to sit on it, then push the giant switch to the ‘on’ position to illuminate the whole thing. When you’re ready to go, just flip it back to the ‘off’ position and go your merry way.

Because of its design, seating is pretty much limited to a maximum of two, but I doubt anyone would mind because of its sheer ingenuity.

The Switch Bench was designed and created by HIK Ontwerpers.

I personally find Lady Gaga to be weird, but I guess embracing our differences is a big part of the image that she’s trying to project to fans and non-fans. It seems like she’s encouraging a whole range of other people, too. I doubt this wacky eyelash jewelry would’ve seen the light of day if it weren’t for her and her eclectic fashion sense.

I’m a true-blue girly-girl at heart but I can’t imagine putting on these unicorn-y eyelash jewelry on my eyelids. These false eyelash accessories are handmade with glass beads and ultra-fine beading wire by Natalie of EyelashJewelry. While I admit that they’re appealing in a very weird way, they also look like they could be pretty uncomfortable to wear.

The unicorn lashes actually sold just a few days ago, but you can check Natalie’s storefront for plenty of other whimsical designs if false eyelashes like this are your thing.
