Hasta La Gadget!

Now that you’re done recovering from your Thanksgiving food coma, you’re probably be ready for some more delicious carbs, right? Well there’s no better way to get your sugar fix than with some of these Millenium Falcon truffles.

They’re made by Nikki’s Treats, and when ordered in the default grey (white chocolate) shell, look exactly like Han and Chewie’s trusty ship. Unlike the actual Falcon, these ones can be filled with Cadbury-like creme, caramel, peanut butter, marshmallow cream, peppermint cream or yummy Nutella. What’s not to like?

Grab a pack of three edible Millennium Falcons over on Etsy for $7.50(USD) before Chewbacca hoards them all for himself. While you’re over there, be sure to grab up some sugary Darth Vader and Han Solo treats.

The Klingon Bat’leth is a formidable weapon in the hands of a true warrior. It will slice and dice your enemies with honor. Now you can wear a miniature version on your neck.

I hear ya. If it can’t kill, why would I want that? Well, if you are in a fight and lose your Bat’leth and your opponent and you are rolling around on the ground in hand to hand combat, just rip this small version off your neck and take his eye out. Aside from that, you can give this small version to your action figure and let him disembowel some other figure.

Sadly it has already sold on Etsy, but if you ask its creator, Starbright Silver, maybe she can make you another one. It seems like it would come in pretty handy as a weapon of last resort.

If you’re looking for new video game to play on your computer over the long holiday weekend and you’re a fan of first-person shooters, you might want to give PlanetSide 2 a go. The game has launched in North America and Europe and is a massively-multiplayer online shooter that has gamers enlisting in one of three empires. The empires include the Terran Republic, New Conglomerate, or Vanu Sovereignty.

The game promises intense battles using hand-to-hand combat, various weapons, ground vehicles, and air vehicles. The game uses Sony Online Entertainment’s proprietary MMO game engine called ForgeLight. While the game is free to play, players can purchase items and content in-game.

Players can also choose to purchase a subscription at $9.99(USD) per month that gives scalable gains for resources, XP, and passive certification points. Premium members also get priority login access to game servers along with access to new cosmetic items and monthly Station Cash bonuses. The game is available as a digital online download right now for Windows PCs.

Everyone loves R2-D2, right? There’s really no reason not to – even if he is made out of cans. That’s right, R2-D2 has been built out a bunch of cans of what look to be sweet corn, Star-Kist tuna and tins of sardines on his chest. Mmm… just what droids like to eat.

This giant R2-D2 can sculpture was part of this year’s San Francisco Canstruction exhibit, which took place at One Market in San Francisco. C-3PO was nowhere to be found, but it’s possible that R2 ran off without him as he’s been known to do.

In addition to everyone’s favorite little droid, the exhibit included a giant shark made out of cans, tributes to Inception and UP and and what appears to be a red Death Star.

While I love the convenience of credit cards, the interest fees and late charges can really throw you for a loop if you don’t pay them off every month. But I might just have to add one more card to my wallet just so I can have the Darth Vader Visa Card.

This awesome Star Wars credit card appears to be available only in Japan, so I’m betting they won’t approve my application – especially since I can’t even fill it out.

It’s probably for the best, anyhow. I can only imagine what would happen if I ever was one minute late with my payment on this card. The Dark Lord himself would probably force choke me (and my wife… and my cat… and my dog) until I paid up – double. Or maybe he’d send an army of clones to my front doorstep to threaten me with their blasters.

You saw what they did to Uncle Owen and Aunt Baru, right? That’s because they were 30 days past-due.
