brando on technabob...

I’m not sure about this horrible controller trend, but with the release of Brando’s dragon gamepad, I think we can officially say that it has taken hold. It’s either that, or a lot of gamer masochists are finding new and creative ways to hide their proclivities.

I have to admit, Brando’s Fire Dragon gamepad would…

This is like the code that you need to enter in Cid’s rocket in Final Fantasy VII: the only way that you’ll be able to guess the function of these gadgets correctly in one try is if you already know what they are. Ready? Okay what the hell is this?

No, it’s not an unfinished egg…

I see what’s going on here, a device with a I-can’t-believe-it’s-not-LEGO case, nothing new. Everyone seems to be crapping brick gadgets these days.

Cuter than a bowl of kittens covered in marshmallows and sprinkles, these little electronic playthings are enough to make me want to puke a rainbow.

Each of TakaraTomy’s Micropets-i miniature desktop robo-playthings has a tiny little mind of its own.

The little animals can chase after a tiny ball or your hand, stroll around any…

The weather here’s been very erratic in the past few years; we don’t get a lot of rain during the rainy season, and it rains quite a lot during the dry season. The only thing that I can be sure of is the unforgiving assault of heat and humidity, day in and day out. Which…

By the power of (a) gray(?) skull… you can call your friends! Brando’s Thriller Skull Phone has flashing blue LEDs to complete it’s pseudo-scary theme. The handset is the middle third of the skull’s face, but it looks like you’ll have no problem picking it up because of the grooves that the eye sockets make.…

Brando, producer of gadgets that are mostly devoid of sense, is at it again with their latest flash drive, the “jewel bug necklace flash drive.”

Look at all the shiny plastic. Brando is kind enough to include a chain so that you can make a necklace with the bug as its pendant, although why anyone…

Whatever your particular (or peculiar) pleasure, there’s a novelty USB drive to fit your freaks. Robots, jewelry, supply dispensers, waterproof submarines (what?)… and those are some of the more normal notions for USB drives out there. This one? Is shaped like a syringe. Why? Why not?

Brando, kings of the odd gadgets and weird flash…

Brando, sellers of some of the weirdest stuff I have ever seen in my life, are cutting back on absurdity with their latest gadgets. For example, their USB hub is functional and versatile. But still a bit weird.

Brando calls it the “USB 3-in-1 Rota-Rota Combo Hub”. I think its named like that because each…

Pocket-sized projectors are the next big thing in projection technology. But most of the pocket projectors out there are priced from $300 to $400 and more. While this little projector isn’t as high resolution as others like the 3M MPro110, it is definitely cheaper.

Priced at just $220 USD, the Cuboid projector (aka the Kinyo…

What better way to store your important files than inside the body a tiny little robot?

These USB flash drives sort of remind me of Futurama’s Bender Bending Rodriguez, what with their bendy metallic arms. But these robots won’t tell you to bite their shiny metal behinds. At least I don’t think they will…

No siree,…

Okay, ladies, if you’re looking to hide your data in the form of a giant, shiny pendant (that no one would ever steal, right? right?), then you’re going to want to check this out. After all, it’s shiny, and a necklace, and did I mention it’s shiny?

Okay, I mock, but it’s actually not unattractive…
