Shortly after The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim was released, a group of fans started working on a massive addition for the game. It’s called Beyond Skyrim, an effort to add Tamriel’s other provinces to TES V: Skyrim.

The CinniBird lets you spice up food literally and figuratively. The battery-powered pen lets you draw using spices and powdered substances such as cinnamon, paprika and cocoa. Just fill its removable container and start doodling. According to its maker OLIARTS Studio, CinniBird is already a finished product, which makes me wonder why they bothered to setup a Kickstarter fundraiser.

Great news! The crap games in airplane seatbacks’ days might be numbered. No longer will you have to play crummy knock-offs of Flash games that were popular a few years ago with the bored-homemaker-who-turned-the-cleaning-over-to-a-Roomba demographic. Someday soon, you could be playing classic Nintendo Game Boy games, which would be so much better.

Scented greeting cards, cards that play a tune when they’re opened, cards with designs that light up… card makers have been upping up the ante season after season, Eat the Fine Print included. But this cardmaker has made something no other company has done yet (as far as we know, anyway): edible greeting cards.

Where’s a white board when you need one? When you gotta doodle, you gotta doodle, but you can’t just whip that pen out and start scribbling on the first surface you see. Or can you? That depends on whether or not that certain surface has been wrapped with this dry-erase film.

We’ve seen blacksmiths turn pieces of metal into a sword many times, but I bet you’ve never seen them create a weapon from something as tiny as a nail. Hey, mice need weapons too.

Minecraft is a really cool game that has always reminded me of virtual LEGO bricks. You can build pretty much anything you can dream up in the game. In fact, we have seen Minecraft players make some very cool Star Wars scenes in the past, such as the Death Star Trench run.

Here’s a great way for you and 24 of your buddies to spend your 13th month pay. eBay seller charliepass is selling a used 2006 Ford F250 with a trailer. But the real gem is what’s inside the trailer: 25 Xbox 360 consoles, each connected to a 24″ 1080p monitor, a controller and a headset.

Back in April, we mentioned the R2-D2 measuring cup set and it was one of the coolest kitchen gadgets I have seen. If R2-D2 is for measuring dry ingredients in the Rebel base kitchen, R2-Q5 is the measuring cup set for the Death Star.

If there was ever a cartoon made for LEGO it would be The Centurions. The hilariously stereotypical alpha males Max Ray, Ace McCloud, Jake Rockwell, Rex Charger and John Thunder used adaptable exosuits and modular parts that snapped on to their bodies.

I am sure we have all received gifts before, looked at them, and wondered what purpose they were supposed to serve. Some gifts are simply useless, and it’s the thought that counts… so they say. Perhaps the most useless gift I have ever seen is right here – Captain Jules’ Useless Box.

One of the most annoying parts of playing Clue, for me, was to discover that in order to win I had to turn myself in. Also, why didn’t I know that I was the murderer? It makes no sense.

Now you can be alone even when you’re in a crowded room with the Nutshell. It’s a portable pod that you can expand to create your own little hideaway, wherever and whenever you feel like it.

Most Pokemon aren’t terribly frightening. Take Pikachu and Weezing, for example. One is a tiny yellow rodent with a goofy smile and Nutcracker-esque red cheek circles and the other is a pair of dull looking floating orbs.

Hacker Jeroen Domburg recently bought a LED-backlit computer keyboard, specifically the Cooler Master Quickfire Rapid-I. When Jeroen showed off his new keyboard to his coworkers, one of them joked that he could play the classic mobile game Snake on it.

Remember Lammily, aka the “Real Barbie doll”? Well, she just got a makeover, but not in the ways that you would expect. Instead of caking Lammily up in makeup or giving her lipo, her upgrade comes in the form of Lammily Marks.
