Want to see things get sliced and diced from the sword’s point of view? Of course you do. That’s what we are here for. This video from YouTubers Sam And Niko shows what happens when you mount a GoPro to the blade of a katana, then watch what it sees as it slices through things.

Japan has weird KitKats with all sorts of flavors we only dream of here in the US. In general, we only get normal and white chocolate, while Japan has all sorts of fruit flavors. To celebrate the KitKat there is a new KitKat Sushi that comes in three flavors.

How many iPhone cases have a high-quality speaker and a battery pack built in? None that I can think of. The Peri Duo smartphone case has done it. It doesn’t just give you an upgraded audio experience, but also charges your phone.

At this point we all know that a stand alone Han Solo Star Wars movie is in the works. The first image from the set of the film has just turned up and it is courtesy of co-director Chris Miller (Cloudy with a Chance of Meatballs, The LEGO Movie, 21 Jump Street).

What the!? ATMs are for money. Now they’re for burgers? Yep, now you can go to the ATM and get some money, then go to another ATM and get a Big Mac. The circle is now complete.

NERF is showing off an awesome new gun to fling foamy death at your friends. This time out it’s not darts that you shoot though. This thing shoots little foam balls at up to 102 feet per second, or about 70 mph.

Star Wars is the movie that Carrie Fisher is most known for even if it certainly wasn’t not her only work. I know I am not the only fan who was sad to see her pass not long ago.

Since America is not nearly fat enough, the Couch Coaster is here to make sure that you are never far from a sugary drink or a beer. It is basically nothing more than a piece of molded silicone with weighted arms that hangs over the sides of an armrest to give you another place to rest your drink.

Adam Savage will never stop building awesome things. Why would he? The man has the coolest job in the world. He gets to play all day and come up with cool new toys and make them a reality.

Do you want to scare the crap out of visitors to your house? Well, this massive Darth Vader statue should do the trick just fine. It measures in at a whopping 7’2″ tall, which is about how tall the real Vader is, and it tips the scales at nearly 850 pounds, which is what Jabba the Hutt probably weighs.

I’d wager a lot of you out there know what EDC stands for. If you don’t, it stands for “Everyday Carry.” In other words, EDC is the stuff that we all take with us on a daily basis.

The folks over at Unbox Therapy got an idea into their heads to play Jenga with a bunch of iPhone SEs. That phone costs at least $399 for each unit and their little Jenga game needed 108 of them.

You know how it is. You trim your beard and little bits of hair go everywhere. All over the sink, the floor, you… Plus this really ticks the wife off. But a good beard needs regular grooming.

Everything is going connected today, from your appliances in the kitchen to the toothbrush you use in the bathroom. Philips sent me over their new Sonicare FlexCare Platinum Connected Toothbrush for me to try out. The version I have includes a UV cleaner to help keep germs at bay.

As much as I like to talk about weird foods, I somehow missed this new Taco Bell invention that was announced back on January 10. That is sort of ok because it only showed up at Taco Bell locations yesterday.

Surfboards are great and all, but they are cumbersome to transport from beach to beach. Well, the Lampuga AIR is an inflatable surfboard with handlebars and a 15HP electric jet-ski style motor which can propel you up to 30MPH.
