Predator Kills the Star Wars Universe, Gets a Cool Trophy of Fett’s Head as Its Prize

You take the bounty hunters from Star Wars and you take Predator and you put them together in the same room. The result is geek magic. This is an amazing piece of art that I would love to own. Hell, I would love to see this crossover in the theater.

This image is part one of a series by Rhymesyndicate. Vader has assembled the bounty hunters. He’s probably giving them a stern talking to, when suddenly a Predator decloaks.(I’m guessing that’s what went down before this scene.) A split second later Boba Fett is missing his head and the Predator has himself a sweet trophy.

The tagline “Predator kills the Star Wars universe” is a play on words from Marvel comics’ “Punisher kills the Marvel universe”. Funny thing is that Vader doesn’t even look all that pissed. He’s just like, “WTF?… I’m working here!”

Amazon Is Selling Die-Cast Replicas of Military Vehicles, Everybody Panic

The Amazon product page for Maisto International Inc.’s model Predator drones has been inundated with snarky parody reviews mocking the replica, apparently as a means of “protesting” the government’s controversial practice of targeted drone strikes. But rather than dissuade potential customers, the shrill whine of impotent hippy rage has accomplished precisely the opposite—Amazon can barely keep them in stock. More »

Beware the Wolf in Drone’s Clothing

There isn’t a huntsman’s ax on the planet sturdy enough to save you from these gnashing jaws, no locale remote enough to shield you from its prying eyes. Written, produced, and directed by Mato Atom, Seagulls reimagines the classic Little Red Riding Hood fable in the modern era where Predators roam the skies like a pack of big bad wolves. More »

Alien Hive Gathers for Family Portrait

Guys and gals, you’d better start getting your flamethrowers and power loaders ready, because the Alien invasion has begun. At least that’s what I’ve been led to believe by this photo.

While you might be getting ready to run for the air lock, these guys were actually all dressed up in their finest Alien gear for the Aliens Anniversary Weekend back in 2011, so you’re safe for now. I spotted this image over on Abi-T-Xeno’s DeviantArt page, along with some other more amusing Alien and Predator images, including my personal fave, Alien vs. Predator: British Style:

Edifier e1100 Predator speaker system

Any computer user who loves using their desktop machine to wind down after a particularly hard day at work (be it from gaming or watching movies) would definitely know of the value of a speaker system, and with so many different kinds of speaker systems around, just which one would you settle for? Well, you might want to check out the Edifier e1100 Predator speaker system for something that is slightly off the beaten path. For starters, the Edifier e1100 Predator will come with a downward firing 5-inch subwoofer and a couple of desktop satellite speakers, where each of them will have a 2-inch front firing full-range driver and 2-inch passive radiator. Needless to say, the name of this might be Predator, but it seems to be all Alien to us instead, judging by the xenomorph-inspired chassis.

Thanks to the Edifier e1100 Predator’s angled satellites, they are said to enhance sound projection, with their passive radiators throwing in dynamic range. The subwoofer works great in delivering deep, even bass that is adjustable to individual tastes. You can hook up the e1100 Predator to any audio device using the 3.5mm auxiliary input, and it does seem as though the Edifier e1100 Predator is the ideal companion for gaming rigs, in an office, or just functioning as a home entertainment system. You can pick up the Edifier e1100 Predator for $79.99 a pop.

Steampunk Predator Helmet: One Ugly (But Safe) Motherbleeper

What if the Predators attacked London in 1849? Well, tea time would have to wait, but also, the Predators might have worn cool Steampunk helmets like this one. Imagine how cool it would have been for one of them to take off this thing and show it’s hideous face underneath
steampunk predator
This badass helmet was created by Skunkworks Props, and yes it’s actually wearable. The helmet itself weighs about 2lbs and is cast in fiberglass and finished with waxes, airbrushing and metal rubs. I can just see Arnold saying, “You are one ugly mother…, but your helmet is amazing!”

This helmet even surpassed the creator’s expectations and it is a true work of geek art. If you ever see someone wearing this, run.
