Of all of the consoles I’ve owned over the years, the one I think I was most passionate about was the SEGA Dreamcast. It offered state-of-the-art hardware, groundbreaking graphical capabilities, and most of all an amazing slate of truly special games.

With the new Alien movie Alien: Covenant headed to theaters in just a couple of weeks, the Alien buzz machine is starting to heat up with all kinds of cool stuff. One of the more awesome things I’ve seen so far are these Reebok sneakers, which are inspired by the big face-off between Ripley and the Alien Queen in Aliens.

I like it when people cram powerful gaming hardware inside a cool and custom built computer case. Fans of PC gaming and Star Trek will want to lust after this custom gaming rig. It’s made to look like a shuttle from Star Trek: Voyager.

I’ve never really had a problem watching 3D movies in the theater with nausea or tired eyes. I can’t say the same about the 3DS that my son had. The top screen on that portable literally made my eyes cross and I hated it.

The idea of a Dewback loveseat suggests a very sticky surface, but thankfully that is not the case with this Dewback loveseat crafted by Regal Robot, which is new spin-off of Tom Spina Designs. It is a 330-pound piece of furniture that looks like a giant Star Wars desert reptile.

So, what pairs well with the Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2 soundtrack? If you said Doritos, you’d be right. The snack chip maker is teaming up with Marvel Studios to promote the movie in a very cool way.

It turns out that the Empire’s TIE dogfighters can do more than just fly and shoot, they can also grill a mean burger. I present to you the Star Wars TIE Fighter gas grill. The TIE Fighter’s “wings” fold out for food prep and it uses propane to grill everything from Bantha burgers to Dewback Ribs.

I remember the first time I watched Aliens back in the day, it scared the crap out of me. I also remember the cool armored personnel carrier that the colonial marines wheeled around in. That thing had seats in the back and a big laser turret on top to blast xenomorphs.

Lunchboxes were a big deal when I was in grade school way back in the day. We all wanted those metal ones with cool pictures on them, not the plastic ones with the single stickers on front.

Apparently, a drunk guy got into a scuffle with a Knightscope K5 security robot, and by scuffle I mean he knocked the 330-pound robot over. Maybe in an effort see if Weebles really do wobble, but don’t fall down, since the thing does look like a giant Weeble.

Being a professional drone photographer sounds like a pretty sweet gig, though it’s not something a whole lot of people get to make a living at. Thanks to my friends at Old Spice, I recently had the opportunity to sit down and speak with Chase Guttman, who at the ripe young age of 20, has already carved out a career for himself as one of the world’s best aerial photographers.

Do you want the coolest DIY Wolverine claws? Then head to your freezer and eat up some popsicles stat! These Popsicle Stick Wolverine Claws are totally badass, and you can make them at home. Sure, these are just popsicle sticks, but they are sharp enough to do some serious damage as shown in the video.They

Sometimes, I feel a little weird reviewing crowdfunded items that have yet to go into production. On one hand, it’s good exposure for the projects, but on the other, the products are usually prototypes and not ready for prime time.

The last time I really thought about a spinning top was when DiCaprio spun one in Inception. That top was supposed to help him figure out if he was in a dream or reality. All I know is the ending left me wondering what the deal was. 

We’ve all been there, guys. Sometimes we do stupid things because of booty. Take this little boy. He’s just riding his bike on the sidewalk in Stockholm, when a big bus with pictures of strippers in thongs on the sides catches the boy’s attention.

You know you are a Mad Max fan when you start building apocalyptic cars for your toddlers. That’s what Ian Pfaff, of Glendale, California did. And they are super cool mini cars that are hopefully battle-ready.
