Crovel Extreme II Ready for More Zombie Killin’

Way back in 2011 I wrote a little story about a product that was perfect for surviving a zombie horde called the Crovel. That story set off a tirade by several folks about what was the perfect tool for zombie killing and what wasn’t. I still think that Crovel belongs in the backpack of any zombie killer. A new version of that cool tool is now available at ThinkGeek.

The new tool is called the Crovel Extreme II, and its more extreme-e-er than the original. The little folding beast still digs thanks to a folding shovel head. It also has a serrated edge for cutting trees and zombie skulls. It even has a bottle opener to ensure you can enjoy that last Corona if you run across one. After all, zombie killing works up a mean thirst.

The handle of the Crovel Extreme II is wrapped in 15-feet of 550 paracord and it has a crow bar on one end. That will come in handy for things like ripping open doors and crushing zombie skulls. My favorite part is the optional metal spike on the end perfect for punching through the eyes of the undead (as well as ice, rocks and drywall.)

The Crovel Extreme II sells for $139.99(USD), with the spike adding another $29.99, and an optional carrying bag for $42.99.

webmail-notifierI am quite sure when we first started to jump aboard the World Wide Web bandwagon, one of the initial things that were introduced to us included the wonders of email as well as a Web browser.

Electronic FPS Laser Battle Jacket lets you enjoy your own live-action game

electronic-fpsEver wished that you had enough money when you grew up, so that you are able to enjoy and construct your very own Laser Tag arena to have fun with your mates? Well, that is the case with the $59.99 Electronic FPS Laser Battle Jacket which will be able to let you enjoy your very own live-action game with a friend, although do make sure that your friend will also be generous enough to fork out his or her own dough in order to get a similar Laser Battle Jacket so that the two of you can have fun.

Each purchase will come with a solitary jacket, a pair of blasters, as well as two targets to get you started right out of the box. There are three different modes to choose from – PvP (Player vs Player), Frag Tag, or Deathmatch. A single pack will let you play Frag Tag, where it will designate you (or your friend, there can only be one) as the hunter while the other would be the hunted. Should you manage to cajole your friend to purchase another pack of his or her own, then the two of you can indulge in some Deathmatch, which is where all the main action’s at. No rocket jumps here though, so do take note about this particular drawback.

The original Laser Tag game was a huge hit back in the 1980s, though the campy ray guns, clunky helmet, and embarrassing sensor vest just aren’t fashion forward these days.
