This is far from the first Philips Ambilight alternative that we’ve seen, but Flytron set its AmbiLED HD apart by making it much easier to install and adjust. That’s because this ambient lighting system for PCs uses a thin strip of LEDs with a reusable adhesive back.

If you have seen the newest Godzilla movie, you will most certainly recognize this creature. What you see here is a massive Godzilla action figure that measures 2-feet from head to tail. It even has its own roar to scare other action figures into pooping themselves.

If you have ever had the check engine light come on in your car, you know how uncomfortable that can be. In part of your brain, you think it’s nothing but a way for the dealer to make some money on service, and you keep driving.

We now know Atlus as one of the last bastions of JRPGs, but it also made one of the worst games of all time: Friday the 13th for NES. Seriously, the only good thing I can say about the game is that it led to one of Angry Video Game Nerd’s funniest episodes. 

Don’t have the money, skills or father for a functional flight simulator? Dogfight Boss can help you feel the need for speed with its cardboard jet fighter cockpit. Dogfight Boss founder Lukas Homola based the cockpit’s structure on the F-22.

Reboots are nothing new in Hollywood these days, and honestly I rather like many of them. I like it when they take some of my favorite films, change them up, and toss them out there again.

If you are a fan of Minecraft, you will love this. The parents of a couple lucky kids made their kids rooms into Minecraft themed awesomeness. These cool parents are named Kai-Lynn and Daniel, and with some paint, time and elbow grease they made a very cool room.

Where do you store your bounty after you make a big score? Well, I’m guessing Boba Fett saves his coins and galactic credits in something like this cool Boba Fett coin purse.

It may not be the most beautiful or complex costume in the world, but Redditor transcoder’s War Machine suit was made with cutting edge tech. Transcoder used a RepRap i3v 3D printer and about $1,000 (USD) worth of plastic for some of the larger parts – including the guns – while the rest are papercraft.

This beautiful custom SNES was created by ozcan and it really makes me wish that Nintendo had offered something like it way back in the day.

Where does he get those wonderful toys? Apparently from Hollywood Collectibles Group, who has a limited edition set of three authentic replica Batarangs for sale from the Michael Keaton Era of Batman.

Like Amazon, it appears Google has been mulling the use of drones to deliver goods. The company recently unveiled its Project Wing, a system that uses drones with the goal of delivering goods within two minutes after an order is placed.

Moisturize me. Moisturize me you fool. This version of Cassandra is extra horrifying thanks to the use of a Furby in it’s creation.

This is a bed that would give Ronald McDonald pleasant dreams – just in case his trillions of dollars don’t help him sleep at night.

Electronics shop Adafruit showed us how to turn the Raspberry Pi into a Game Boy emulator, complete with a Game Boy-like case. Now they’re using the affordable computer to make a device that looks and works like a classic Macintosh.

Six packs go too quick. 12 packs? Still not enough. 24 packs? Still not enough. Get all of your beer for the month in one convenient pack with this pack of 99 cans of beer. Of course it comes from Texas, where bigger is always better.
