Doctor Who Crib: It’s Wetter on the Inside

What if your baby could travel through time and space? I imagine their TARDIS would look something like this Doctor Who crib.
doctor who crib
The Doctor already acts pretty childish, so this wouldn’t be all that different from the show we have now. This rocking crib looks great, but it gets even better. The family’s last name is Gallafraigh. How perfect is that? Sure, it’s not spelled the same way, but it still wouldn’t surprise me if the kid’s name was Rassilon.

Some parents are just frakkin’ awesome. Wait until this thing de-materializes and the kid comes back in a new outfit and with a companion.

Predator Motorcycle Helmet Has no Active Camouflage Mode

Aliens don’t stand a chance against Predators – especially if they’re riding on motorcycles. Though you might draw the attention of some traffic cops if you go speeding down the highway wearing this Predator motorcycle helmet.

This awesome looking Predator helmet comes from Russia’s NLO MOTO, and will definitely keep other drivers out of your way when they see you coming. It’s made from fiberglass, carbon fiber and polycarbonate, and has three red LED dots mounted next to its removable, tinted visor.

It can be ordered in a variety of custom options if you don’t want the plain old black helmet shown above. It can even be ordered with a “laser-controlled aimer,” which emits three tiny laser beams which can be seen on a foggy day. There’s also an option for carbon spearheads on the dreadlocks, and some nasty looking Predator teeth.

Prices for the Predator helmet start at $780(USD) and go up from there.

As the video above explains, the helmet has limited visibility, so it’s “not for noobies.” Also, collecting Alien skulls as trophies is not for noobies.

Star Trek Into Darkness Trailer 3 revealed with major spoilers

If you want to know what’s going on in the Star Trek movie coming out near the middle of May, you’ve got two options today. You first option is to wait until May 17th and go to your local movie theater for some up-close-and-personal action like a normal, decent person. Your second option is to watch the newest trailer released for the film today, complete with more spoilers than you’ll feel clean about having watched.

title

What you’re about to read may make you cry – it’s riddled with what you might consider spoilers, or what you might consider near-spoilers that simply take the film to a new level of “must see” in your mind. The first big item revealed in the trailer released this week is the fact that the ship you’ve seen crash-landing into the water in previous trailers is, indeed, the Enterprise.

What you’ll find here is the markings of the one and only NCC-1701 A herself plummeting toward the planet Earth. You’ll also see the ship having gone into battle against our newest enemy, finding a much larger ship with essentially the same build facing off against the Enterprise, and that ship rising from the water after its crash. So you know the whole plot by now, right?

trwoaf

This film will be released in just under a month’s time and there, at last, you’ll find yourself seeing the full truth. Have a peek at our Star Trek tag portal for more information on the Star Trek Into Darkness release and stay tuned for the final drop!

Star Wars Mobile: Hang in There, Han!

Who says mobiles are only for hanging over a baby’s crib? I’m a full-grown man, and I’d be tickled to have this Star Wars inspired mobile hanging in my office.

This laser-cut mobile features 1/16″ thick black mat board cutouts of Luke Skywalker, Yoda, Han Solo, Chewbacca and Darth Vader. It’s even got Slave Leia, though you’ll have a hard time making out her golden bikini in silhouette form.

Shades Put Spaceships on Your Windows, Keep Your Nerd World Private

Check out these awesome window shades that put spaceships on your window and at the same time help isolate you from sunlight, with only your action figures and DVD collections to keep you company. I kid. I would love to have these on my window too, since I’m a huge science fiction nerd too.

blind
You can choose from a variety of blinds that feature wireframe images of some of the most famous ships in sci-fi.

blind1
There is a TARDIS, the Millennium Falcon, the USS Enterprise, a Klingon Bird of Prey, a BSG inspired Viper and Boba Fett’s Slave I ship. But which do you choose? They are all amazing. Maybe if you have enough windows, you can have them all.

They cost £99 (~$152 USD) and up over at DirectBlinds, depending on the size of your windows, and any options you add.

Now that you’ve seen these, you’ll want to redecorate and try to convince your wife that spaceships will look good in your windows.

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.

predator kills star wars
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!”

Vulcan Ale: Brewed with Cold Hard Logic

Little known Star Trek fact. Spock finds human beer highly illogical and prefers his native Vulcan Ale. Now humans will get a chance to discover Spock’s favorite beverage. On May 1, Vulcan Ale, which is brewed as an Irish red ale, will hit store shelves.


Vulcan Ale
Sadly, Vulcan Ale will only be available in Canada, which is highly illogical. And that doesn’t make sense when it comes to a Vulcan Ale. I guess when cold Vulcan logic meets real-world human borders, there have to be some compromises.

The ale is a specialty brew created specifically for Vulcan Alberta’s 2013 centennial celebrations. Drink long and prosper. Always drink responsibly. Do not get intoxicated and drive a Starship.

See Tony Stark’s Hall of Armors and Be Iron Man at Disneyland Innoventions

Don’t tell Mandarin, but Tony Stark relocated his Hall of Armors to Disneyland’s Innoventions area in Tommorowland for the meantime. But being the carefree dude that he is, Tony is actually letting people into the exhibit. Either that or the security at Disneyland is a lot tougher than I thought.

iron man tech disneyland innoventions

As you walk through the room, Tony’s virtual butler JARVIS will tell you all about the various armors, including the Mk. XLII that will be featured in the upcoming Iron Man 3. Speaking of armors, you’ll also be able to put on one of his suits through an augmented reality interface. Here’s a brief tour of the exhibit taken by YouTuber mrdaps:

Again, the exhibit will only be up for a limited time, so visit the park ASAP before Tony decides to hide his armor somewhere else.

Star Trek Captains Zombie Cookies: To Boldly Chew…

With all of the away missions that the Star Trek captains have been on, I’m surprised that none of them have been bitten by zombies. Well, that may not have happened on the shows, but now you can see what each captain would have looked like as the undead, thanks to these cookies.

trek zombie cookies

Here we have Kirk, Picard, Sisko, Janeway and Archer cookies all zombified and craving the brains of their crew. One can only imagine the panic that would take place on a Federation starship under siege by a zombie horde.

janeway zombie cookie

These awesomely horrifying cookies were made by the blogger behind Food Replicator, a Star Trek cuisine blog, last Halloween. I also love that they look kind of like South Park characters – and how Picard is holding his own head – it’s the zombie equivalent of the Facepalm.

Star Wars Spaceship Guitars Rock the Cantina

If you like to cosplay as the Cantina Band from Mos Eisley, check out these amazing Star Wars spaceship guitars and be insanely jealous. They are  elegant musical weapons for a more civilized age.

These ships are amazing and are actual working guitars built by 64-year-old Tom Bingham. That’s quite a hobby he has and he is awesome at it. And even though people beg him, he doesn’t sell them.

Each guitar takes about three months to build and is made from parts purchased at car boot sales in the UK.

bwing
Tom has created the Millennium Falcon, Y-Wing and B-Wing guitars from Star Wars and he also has about 20 other custom designs that he’s made over the years. These could be the best guitars ever.
