Killspencer Dopp Folio: For Gadgets & Grooming, Say What?

Range — Sun, 15 Jan 2012 15:00:22 +0000

I’ve never thought about mixing my shaving cream with my gadgets, but that didn’t stop Killspencer from thinking of a way of doing this, thanks to their new Dopp Folio, which does double duty as a carrier for your grooming stuff or your travel gadgets.

The sides on the bag can attached, to make a more box-like shape for your toiletries. Instead, if you want to use it as a gadget folio, just undo the sides, and it has enough space for your iPad or 11-inch MacBook Air. You might be able to fit a few more items in there along with it. Just don’t try and actually put your laptop and your hair gel in there at the same time – I can’t imagine that’d be a good idea.

The folio looks pretty handsome and comes in four different varieties. The canvas versions will cost you $149 while the leather ones will set you back $189.

8-Bit Resident Evil Brings the Pixelated Gore

Alisha K. — Sun, 13 Dec 2009 13:40:06 +0000

Who says 8-bit can’t be graphic? I’m guessing they’ve never seen anything quite like this Resident Evil tribute.

Leon Kennedy can apparently tear up unfortunate farmers even when he’s been broken down to his most basic elements. Also? His jacket remains chic and stylish. Is there nothing this man can’t do? Personally, I’d be more than happy to play the 8-bit adventures of Leon Kennedy, but for now we’ll have to settle for a painting instead of a game.

This particular painting was originally sold at a Child’s Play auction and now the prints–as above–are available at Etsy on canvas for $35. The charity goes on, though; half of the proceeds of each print sale goes to Child’s Play. Who says gore never helped anything?

Vestal Grenade Watch: Somebody Pulled the Pin!

Maybe it’s just me, but I think it’s a bad idea to strap a live hand grenade to your wrist (or any part of your person, for that matter). I’d especially be wary of one that’s making a subtle ticking noise. But that’s exactly what the guys at Vestal would have you do, thanks to their over-the-top Grenade wristwatches.

The Grenade watch looks like an explosive device, but when you flip the lever, it opens to reveal a clock movement. While they won’t actually withstand an explosion, they should hold up pretty well thanks to their Stainless Steel case construction, durable mineral glass crystal and water-resistance to 3ATM.

They’re available in Army Green or Matte Black finishes and come with either a skinny canvas or wide leather and canvas wristband. I managed to find all four styles over on WatchWear.com starting around $125 each.

Just don’t blame me when you get stopped trying to go through airport security with one of these strapped to your wrist.

Looking for a way to make your game room really special? Look no further than these original 3-dimensional arcade artworks by sign maker Melissa Jones.

Melissa creates original wood carvings of classic arcade characters, then creates a resin casting of the original and hand paints each one with bold acrylic colors.

Her arcade designs include classics like Donkey Kong, Galaga, Robotron 2084, Pac-Man, Dig Dug, Q*Bert and Burgertime among others.
