I’m not a big watcher of Formula One racing, even though I can appreciate the skill that the drivers have and the speed that the cars are able to achieve as they go blazing around the…

Forget the TRON light bike. Light Trikes are where it’s at now. These things are like big wheels for adult kids. They don’t actually go down the road leaving a light trail, but you can use…

Nothing keeps Mario as warm as a Frog suit (except maybe a Tanooki suit.) And now the frog suit he wore in Super Mario 3 can keep you warm at night while you are sleeping. Not…

I think some people choose to give their bands really weird names so that it’ll pop out and make an impression on people. I mean, aside from fancy graphics, a neat logo, and a cool band…

Like most of Squaresoft’s 90s RPGs, Xenogears has a special place in my heart. What really drew me in was the main character’s Gear, Weltall – the Bruce Lee of robots. Unlike other fighting robots that…

One of my all-time favorite video games was MechWarrior. I played that game for hours on end and wished on more than one occasion I had a real robot with rail guns and missiles. That real…

Some people do yoga, others meditate or build Lego sets. Humans have many different ways to relax. Here’s a new way to get in your zen place – Listening to 10 hours of Darth Vader’s breathing.…

LEGO and beer. I can’t think of a better combination. This LEGO Beer machine serves up 2 kinds of Dutch beers, opens the bottle and cools it down to a perfect drinking temperature. Are you in…

With the new iPad’s imminent arrival, there are some new, stylish cases that have been made for Apple’s latest tablet. I’ve always liked the DODOcase, and the new version of the case comes in some eye-popping…

I can’t remember the last time I played a portable gaming console, probably a Game Boy Advance SP, but the LEGO Game Boy Transformer sure makes me want to play Tetris again on the go.…

The Japanese love using vending machines so much that they have even come up with one that can be used in case of emergencies, particularly when there’s no electricity. But you’ll have to do more than…
