I sure loves me some God of War. Now combine that with a sugary sweet Slurpee and I’m in geek heaven. Thanks to the guys over at 7-11, I can enjoy both in a single slurp.

Starting this week, 7-11 is offering up limited edition collectible God of War III plastic cups for their frozen…

Let me start by saying this. I love TokyoFlash. These guys have brought some of the coolest digital watch designs I’ve ever seen to the world, and now they’re amping up their game with their first consumer electronics gadget, the Escape C.

While this saucer-shaped device might look like something you’d use to hail your…

I have to say that I’m not impressed by the name, but the Palro from Fujisoft sure is a cute looking robot.

Palro gets its ingenious name by combining “pal” and “robot.” I know, what will those crazy Japanese scientists think of next, right?

This little humanoid ‘bot stands about 16 inches tall and weighs…

This unique creation looks to me like one cool ring, one of the rare rings that I’m actually interested in, other than the One ring to rule them all.

It’s called the Kinekt Gear Ring, and it’s a perfect gift for any tinkerer or mechanically-inclined geek. In fact, anyone that likes to fidget with things…

Citizens of the United States of America, young and old, noob or hardcore, Xbox loyalist, Wii fanatic or PS3 fanboy, hear ye hear ye! Microsoft is looking for video game testers! The most likely location of the “Playtest facility” will be in Microsoft’s Seattle compound, but they’re encouraging everyone from the USA to sign up.…

From Zagg, the makers of the popular Invisible Shield, comes the Zaggsparq, a sleek and powerful portable USB charger. Despite its ugly name, the Zaggsparq seems to be a very practical portable USB charger. Not only is it quite small, it also has 2 USB ports, so you can charge two devices at once.

Spotted at the Eco-Products 2009 trade show, Oriental Co. Ltd.’s White Goat is a paper shredder that turns the shredded bits of paper into toilet paper. It is named after the famous Japanese White Goat, which eats paper and then shits out toilet paper. Yeah that’s not true. I wish it was though.

The White…

If you’re a big Mac fanatic, you might want to check out this item I stumbled onto over at eBay today. It’s an authentic “Eddy” award statue, originally presented by MacUser Magazine (more recently given out by Macworld).

Originally awarded back in 1996 to Edmark software (now defunct), this trophy is a great conversation piece…

Here’s something fun to have rattling around your brain for the rest of the weekend.

This is what happens when you take an electronic talking Pikachu, and let circuit bending musician Kaseo have his way with it. Be sure to crank up the volume for this…

These Atari-themed shot glasses manage to combine two of my favorite pastimes addictions – one from my childhood (playing Battle Zone), and one from my adulthood (sipping shots of Pappy Van Winkel’s.)

The set of 6 shot glasses includes graphics from six retro Atari arcade games: Asteroids, Centipede, Pong, Breakout, Missile Command and the aforementioned…

One of the more interesting items at the Shooting, Hunting and Outdoor Trade (SHOT) Show is a .22-caliber pistol with a high-tech safety feature. Made by German company Armatix, the pistol will only fire if it is within a few inches of a special wristwatch, which sends a “wireless arming signal” to the pistol.
