…except it’s not an NES controller at all, but a laptop case. A big… one.

The good ol’ NES controller has been used as the design for all sorts of cases and pouches, but they’re usually a little smaller. Coin purses. Wallets. Nintendo DS cases and mods. But sometimes you

You know what’s big? Xbox and Xbox 360 cases console cases. You could fit all kinds of things in there, if you were so inclined… like a make-your-own-Macbook, or possibly a small elephant. But the Macbook? Certainly cooler (and poops less).

Assassin’s Creed II has been out for a while, but Ubisoft has announced two new DLCs that will enable you to finally finish the game.

Does this mean that Ubisoft sold an incomplete game to gamers everywhere? It’s true that the new version of Assassin’s Creed …is way more complete

One of the coolest villains in cartoon history has definitely got to be The Shredder. Before he was ridiculed in the movies, he was one mean dude in the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles… cartoons. Now, you can bring out your own super-villain with this snazzy hoodie.

OSIM brings you the latest in head massaging technology, the OSIM uCrown 2. It’s gray and it’s ready to massage your pains away.

It’s kind of hard to decide what to make of this product. Was there ever a uCrown1? The greyish plastic reminds me of the color of a…
