I just came across this today while doing my daily reading. With Apple’s iTunes 7.0 release and their new games, people thoguht it was a great extension of the iPod line. But appearently, people have been doing this with Doom for over a year now. Who knew :P

Ah yes…some people collect weapons…other people collect movie paraphenalia.  For those who do both, this one is sure to be a hit.

Well…not really. Ninjitsu is just one of those things that takes years of hard work and endurance to master. For the lazy, here’s the next best thing. Creating Shurikens as if by magic out of ordinary paper. I wonder how long it’ll take before the TSA starts banning folding paper on airplanes.

Now with Sudoku

Yes, it’s popular. God knows why. They have books of them…they even have little $10 pieces of sh*t that gets you playing it.

Hell…they even have more expensive pieces of sh*t that’ll do it too…and then a bit more. Acer is trying to cash in on the follies popular trends of today by incorporating Sudoku into their next line of Digital Audio Players [DAP]. So while it will continue to suck because it’s trying to be an iPod [and fails at it], it will suck even more for pandering to the mindless idiocy of the peoples.

Why, the largest ‘working’ Gundam robot ever made!  It has hydraulics and a working cockpit!

I wonder how much it cost to build…

While it doesn’t live up to the true awesomeness at times of the original line of Transformers toys (they totally gimped Metroplex: current vs past) there are still quite a few gems to be found here.
