sariel’s lego robot hand was built in a weekend

lego sariel arm robot terminator

Sariel has just created this amazing robotic hand, that he built using only LEGO Technics parts. It took him just a weekend to come up with his build, that he appropriately calls The Hand. I don’t know what it is with all the LEGOs this week, but there’s just some awesome stuff out there!…

terminator casemod, for anyone who wants a terrifying machine

terminator case mod

Look at this thing. Do you want it sitting under your desk, or worse, on top of it, stretching those skeletal robot doom fingers toward your soul? Or, y’know, your son. Really, whatever’s convenient. (Note: the correct answer here is no).

Don’t get me wrong. I respect the artistry and Terminator appreciation that went…

Finally! Something for all those crystal-loving, hardcore Terminator fans with lots of extra money to throw at their data storage needs! Your wait is over, folks. The skulldrive is here to empty your wallets.

Those sinister eyes aren’t just pretty rocks–they’re Swarovski crystals, which explains the $150 (USD) price tag. What isn’t explained, however,…

atari terminator grenade joystick: controllers that time forgot

atari_terminator_joystick

I have a very vague memory of playing with one of these Terminator joysticks on my old Atari computer system back in the 80s. I can’t believe somebody managed to dig one of these oddities up.

I found these images over on Klonoaxero’s Flickr page, where he says he recently picked up this suspicious…

terminator salvation bobble-head almost as bad an idea as a 4th terminator movie

terminator_t_600_bobblehead

You know the Terminator franchise has officially jumped the shark when 1) Terminator: Salvation can get trounced at the box office by a Ben Stiller movie and 2) they start making bobble-head versions of the deadly T-600.

I really don’t care that its eyes glow with red LEDs just like a real Terminator. There’s…

twerminator: sony launches resistance 2018, a twitter game to promote terminator: salvation

resistance2018

In the post-apocalyptic world of 2018, mankind is nearly eradicated; the literally cold and heartless Skynet computer system is so ruthless and intelligent – except for the fact that it has a logo. What for? To market itself? How about you stop killing your customers first? – and is on the verge of debuting…

naughty-chemists

I’ve been doing my usual window shopping and thought I’d share some of the funny geek shirts I saw at Snorg Tees. They’re all made of “100% Super Soft” cotton and are priced at $19 each.

The Chemist shirt would have been much better if the ladies in it looked better.

Now there’s a…

usb terminator: deterrence via annoyance

USB Bouncer

Plug this beefy-looking plastic thug into your USB port, and it’s supposed to scare those who approach it away from your computer.

While it’s called the USB Terminator, it looks more like the bouncer who’d tell you to hit the road because you can’t come into the trendy new nightclub dressed like Andy Sipowicz.…
