You have to love The Slingshot Channel’s Joerg Sprave. He comes up with all kinds of crazy DIY weaponry. This time around he’s created a fully-automatic crossbow. This has been a dream of many a weapon loving geek and now it actually exists.

A dude called Tim Schwalfenberg has created one of the coolest LEGO video game recreations ever. He took a scene from the cinematic zombie shooter The Last of Us and replicated it completely with LEGO bricks.

Valentine’s Day is almost here and that means overpriced flowers that die in two days. Rather than sending short-lived flora to your gal, send her this Star Wars Bouquet. It won’t die because it’s packed with little stuffed Star Wars characters.

What you’re looking at here isn’t some sort of torture device. It the ICAROS VR, a unique piece of exercise equipment. It will help you get fit and make you feel like you’re flying at the same time.

Like broccoli, most kids don’t like to eat radishes. I’m an adult and I still won’t touch them. However, I may have to rethink that because the Ravanello Radish Shaper turns them into little Super Mario mushrooms.

Christmas may have come and gone already, but the cool thing about the best Christmas flick of them all – Die Hard – is that it’s not nearly as weird to watch post-Christmas as say, Elf.

Fans of Weird Al Yankovic are going to love this news. This is the box set that you have always wanted. Weird Al released his first album in 1983, and since then he’s released 14 studio albums in total.

Growing up, there were only stormtroopers with white armor, and the occasional black outfit on a TIE fighter pilot, but in the new Star Wars flicks you get some red and even a silver stormtrooper. If you want to add a little variety to your stark black and white trooper collection, here’s your chance to own some cool action figures.

Artist Jason Freeny is best known for his illustrations and sculptures which feature bisected pop culture figures with their skin removed from one side so you can see their innards. His latest creation? A series of vinyl figures based on Looney Tunes’ characters.

The Space Shuttle was awesome. Granted, there were some tragic accidents during the Shuttle program that cost the lives of astronauts, but overall the program was a raging success. OliveSeon created a LEGO tribute to the Space Shuttle, and it is awesome.

Growing up, we rarely went to the movies, so that meant I saw most of the cool ’80s on VHS tape at home. I remember being beside myself excited when I saw Predator 2 land on VHS down at the video store.

I really like The Princess Bride. I can remember not wanting to watch it because it was a “girl’s movie” and now I’ve seen it a million times. The Honest Movie Trailers folks have put one together for the classic flick and it sums it up well.

Pixar fans will definitely want this toy with the long name. It’s officially called the “Toy Story Bandai Chogokin Combination Woody Robo Sheriff Star Figure.” It’s essentially five Toy Story chard terms that can combine to form one big Toy Story robot that will protect the water hole and whatever else you need protected.

Nicolas Huchet has a sweet bionic arm. A team of hackers called Hackerloop developed a bionic NERF Gun for Nicolas, who was left with a myoelectric prosthetic hand after an accident. Presumably they started off by saying, “Gentlemen, we can rebuild him.”

Did Rogue One feel naked to you without the opening crawl? More importantly, do you feel naked without it? Well, now you can wear one around your neck. These opening crawl infinity scarves are based on The Empire Strikes Back and Return of the Jedi.

If you enjoy a good cup of tea, then you know that brewing is something to take seriously. Well, if you want a perfect cup of tea every time, the Teforia Smart Tea Infuser should do the trick.
