This is probably the first and only time we’ll ever see the Blue Screen of Death as a hero. The real surprise? There are zero pixel penis heroes. Good job, gamers!

Just sit back, press play and enjoy…

From the way things look, you’ll be able to make just about any dot-game persona or weaponry you want, simply by moving bricks around on a 3D grid. While I understand how that would work to create the pixelated characters of the game, I’m not sure how they made that decidedly un-pixely weapon that looks like a fish. I guess we’ll just have to wait a few more weeks so we can try it out for ourselves.

Thanks to the brilliant devious minds of Japan’s RT Corporation, this new robot known as RIC (Robot Inside Character) will soon be wandering the streets and aisles at trade shows, terrorizing children and old people to the point that they really will need to buy some Robot Insurance.

RIC might look cute and cuddly on the surface, but under its skin, it’s something that Sarah Connor would want to crush under an industrial press until the lights go out in its eyeballs. The good news is that you could probably overpower the thing if it ever ran amok. Thankfully, it only stands about 4 feet tall, and weighs about 15 pounds. It’s controlled by 20 Futaba servo motors and can be upgraded to as many as 30, based on the specific use case (and how many weapons you plan to attach).

If you’ve got 2,000,000 yen (appx $20,000 USD) lying around you can get your own RIC and set it loose on unsuspecting children and grandparents.

Just unscrew DigiDude’s head, screw your camera onto his dismembered body, and you’ll be holding your camera still with style and attitude. DigiDude has three bendable legs which help him to stay steady on any surface.

The little dudes come in five characters: G-bling-Money-Son, iChomp, Pinky Scorsese, Snot Buster, and BoltBot – each one with a unique personality and style. iChomp is my personal favorite, thanks to his disproportionately tiny lizard hands.

They hang neatly on your keychain or backpack so you have a nice way to stabilize your camera wherever you go. DigiDudes are available now over at the aptly named community-generated product site Quirky.com for $19.99 (USD). There are only 250 available in the initial pre-order batch, so you’d better move quick if you want one.

Tingle, a spin-off from The Legend of Zelda series, first appeared in Majora’s Mask for the Nintendo 64. A new Japanese website has turned up, advertising what is likely a new Tingle game, though the details are almost nonexistent (and also, in Japanese). The site does feature a date, however: June 18. It seems likely an announcement will be forthcoming soon.

Tingle’s last outing was never cleared for U.S. release (though it appeared in Europe) and is a cult favorite simply due to the oddity of the character and his game. Can’t wait to see what he might do next!

The GeekKlok comes in kit form, and can display 50 different character sets including everything from Roman numerals to Arabic to Chinese, Japanese and even Klingon. Time can even be displayed using special animated digits.

Kits range in price from $124 to $169, depending on the version, and if you want the parts already soldered on. Keep in mind that the kits only come with the PCB and electronics to drive the clock. You’ll need to dig up your own Nixie tubes and sockets (with a little guidance from the Zetalink guys), as well as a power supply.

And for those of you who want to know the current time in Klingon...

Perfect for those who really don’t want to know how much they weigh, the scale lets you see how you measure up to everyone from Donald Trump, to Fozzie Bear, to Ron Jeremy and even to Baby Jesus. The scale costs $34.95, and comes in both white and blue styles.

I won’t tell you what I weigh, all I’ll say is that it’s somewhere in between Yoda and Mister Ed.
