Vault 101 Sneakers Help You Sneak Past Mutants, Won’t Protect You from Radiation

One of my favorite video game franchises is Fallout. If you are a fan of the game, you will appreciate the latest product from Bethesda Softworks called Vault 101 Sneakers. They are also known as Vault-Tec Item 72778011-101.

Created by Tweak Footwear, these Fallout sneakers have the blue and yellow colors that are so popular for those locked away inside the vaults. They are covered in blue suede leather with yellow trim, which is guaranteed to bleed if you get them wet or expose them to high doses of radiation. The shoes also feature a molded EVA sock liner for durability, but does nothing to reduce your chances of contamination.

The Vault 101 sneakers are offered in sizes from 7 up to 14. Girls who want a pair need to subtract two from their size since they are men’s sizes.

The shoes are officially licensed Fallout merchandise and are available now for $84.99(USD) per pair from ThinkGeek or the Bethesda Store.

Doctor Who Trivial Pursuit: Winning Proves You’re Smarter on the Inside

The Doctor Who merchandising machine has really kicked into high gear of late. It seems like every time we turn around there is something new carrying the Doctor Who brand. This time out, there is a new trivia game for fans of the series to compete against each other with.

who triviamagnify

The game is the Doctor Who Trivial Pursuit Travel Edition. It’s like traditional Trivial Pursuit, but all the questions are Doctor Who themed, naturally.

I think my friends might like this game. I usually dominate at normal Trivial Pursuit, leaving my opponents feeling dumb and defeated (with good reason). They won’t play the game with me anymore. Since I have never watched a single episode of Doctor Who all the way through, they might have a chance.

The cards have 600 questions and include categories like Time Lords, Companions, Episodes & Stories, Monsters, Cast, Crew, & Beyond, and Years and Dates. The game is available for $19.99(USD) from ThinkGeek. The game comes with a Dalek die,  numerous question cards, and a blue wedge container to hold it all. What, no TARDIS?

Bodum b.Over Coffee Maker delivers automated ease for your cuppa

bodumI am quite sure that there is a pretty strong split in the office when it comes to coffee as well as tea drinkers. However, those who cannot live without that strong jolt of caffeine in the morning to get started on the right side of the bed at the office might want to check out the $169.99 Bodum b.Over Coffee Maker. The Bodum b.Over Coffee Maker is touted to deliver automated goodness to the pour-over technique, where it will be able to make up to 40 oz. of coffee. Not only that, cold or lukewarm coffee is not going to cut the mustard for genuine coffee lovers, which is why this nifty little device comes with a vacuum-sealed, double-walled carafe that will ensure the coffee it makes is kept warm for more than 3 hours.

The Bodum b.Over Coffee Brewer will also hold another advantage over your regular pour-over barista, since it is capable of making more than just a single cup at any one time. All of the brewed coffee will drip into a 40 oz., vacuum-sealed, double-walled stainless steel interior carafe, so that the coffee inside remains hot and aromatic for hours on end without any risk of it burning. To make matters more interesting instead of checking out the day’s hectic schedule would be the ability to peer through the plexiglass back on the machine so that you can see your future coffee being made right there and then, in front of your very own eyes.

Powered by a trio of AAA batteries, your kids would have a fun time building machines such as a gyroscopic robot, personal vehicle, gyro horizon, gyrocompass, balancing game, tightrope walker, and flight simulator.

Star Wars I Love You./ I Know. Cufflinks Are Perfect For Well Dressed Scoundrels

Growing up I always liked the action scenes in the Star Wars movies much more than I liked the romance parts. For instance, I do recall the scene in The Empire Strikes Back when Leia tells Han that she loves him for the first time. To whit, Han replies with the infamous “I know.” (Then Chewie howls and Han is lowered into a vat of carbonite.)

han linksmagnify

If you are a well dressed Star Wars fan that needs some cufflinks that show off your geeky side, ThinkGeek has them. They are called, appropriately enough, the I Love You / I Know cufflinks. As you might guess, the links have a black and white image of Leia on one with the “I Love You.” printed underneath. The other has a shot of Han, everyone’s favorite scoundrel, and says “I know”.

The cufflinks are officially licensed from Lucasfilm and are rhodium-plated on the base with enamel and measure 3/4-inch square. You can pick these cufflinks up for $59.99(USD).

Daryl Dixon Walking Dead Action Figure Includes Crossbow, No Hog

One of my favorite TV shows is The Walking Dead. I’d be hard-pressed to choose my favorite character from the series, but Daryl Dixon is right up there. The dude uses a crossbow and is generally a bad-ass. I think the crossbow would be a great weapon in a zombie invasion; you can reuse the bolts if you can find them, and it’s virtually silent.

That means no gun shots for the other zombies to home in on. If you are a fan of Daryl Dixon, you might want to add this slick 10-inch action figure to your collection. The action figure is based on a 3D scan of actor Norman Reedus, who plays Dixon in the series.

The action figure has the trusty crossbow, three tiny bolts, and a removable poncho. It even includes a hunting knife. It’s officially licensed by AMC and is available for $39.99 (USD) from ThinkGeek. The only thing missing is Daryl’s hog.
