Hasta La Gadget!

Look at these beautiful playing cards that feature a Steampunk Cthulhu theme. They were created by Nat Iwata, an artist based in Vancouver. These are real works of art that you can play poker with.

This custom playing card set features awesome artwork on back, and the face cards include scenes and characters from Lovecraft’s story. Nat decided to create these Steampunk Cthulhu Resurrection cards as a follow up to his original Steampunk Cthulhu cards from about a year ago.

Nat has also made some custom Cthulhu coins that you can buy with the deck, which will complete your Cthulhu poker night or allow you to start one. Nat has really outdone himself with this set. I don’t know which is cooler, the cards or the coins.

He has already met his Kickstarter goal and it still has a couple of weeks to go. A pledge of at least $10(USD) will get you a deck of cards, while $15 will get you the cards and one coin.

Aren’t we all just wishing we had gotten our hands on some Bitcoins before they became really big? While that ship has sailed, there are still a lot more opportunities docked at the pier – it’s just a matter of studying them, weighing your options, and getting lucky with your next investment.

For now, wake up to a new day every day and be inspired to find the next big thing every time you take a bath with these BitSoaps.

They’re basically Bitcoin-shaped soap that comes in hemp oil, castile, and lavender scents. If you have Bitcoins in your digital wallet, then these will remind you to spend them when the time is right. The BitSoaps are available online for $4.42(USD) each. Naturally, their maker accepts Bitcoins as payment.

Want to pick up your date? Forget your car. Don’t send a taxi. Send two R/C helicopters to pick her up and really impress her.

HeliGraphix is a club of radio controlled helicopter hobbyists that perform crazy stunts and puts the videos online. Seen here, their latest project is HULC, which stands for Heavy Ultra Lifter Crane.

This is a demo to show just how powerful two heavy duty helicopters can be when working in tandem. The team says that it has completed the first successful human flight by R/C aircraft. The proof is right here. They did several flights, some of them lasted over 40 seconds.

It is pretty impressive to watch. Sorry guys, this technique won’t help you kidnap a girl. She has to grab on willingly.

Now you can look like the undead, without all the rot and stink and puss that usually accompanies them. Some of us look like the undead in the morning anyway, so you might as well look like it when you go to sleep too.

These 100% cotton pajamas are decorated with open wounds that show the bones beneath and blood spatter, so you can blend in with zombies should an infection break up. I wouldn’t recommend walking around your town at night while wearing these, unless you want to be shot or decapitated.

They’re just $17.99(USD) from ThinkGeek. Look like the sleeping undead and be comfy.

Avid PlayStation gamer Blackangel887462 loves to collect Platinum trophies, a virtual achievement awarded for obtaining all of the lower tier – Bronze, Silver and Gold trophies – achievements in a PlayStation game. To celebrate his 500th Platinum trophy he commissioned a replica of the award.

Even though it’s not made of platinum, the trophy still cost Blackangel887462 quite a bit of change. He won’t say the exact amount, only that the trophy turned out to be more expensive than four DualShock 4 controllers, which more or less adds up to $240 (USD).

500 completed games and a real Platinum trophy? You have a lot to live up to Blackangel887463.
