Blizzard has yet another hit with Overwatch, and fans have been creating all kinds of cool art based on the game. One of the coolest so far is this desktop computer that looks like Bastion, one of the most popular characters from the game. PC case modder Jan Erik Vangen has 3D printed this Bastion computer, and loaded it up with an ASRock Beebox-S Mini PC, an Intel Core i5 processor and HD Graphics 520.

Of all the things in Fallout 4 that I want to know more about is the Zetan that I killed for his weapon. I want to know more about this nasty alien species and their awesome hand guns.

This is not the first functional BMO we have seen, but this version by Imgur user NinjaBunny9000 is one of the coolest. You can play this guy just like Finn and Jake do, minus the BMO voice giving you sassy talk.

I can’t say that I ever put much thought into Pokémon and their body temperatures. I mean, Pikachu channels electricity and right or wrong that always makes me think heat. I would assume that other than shocking the bejesus out of you, Pikachu would also make you hot.

If you’ve ever wanted to build your very own R2-D2, this is a cool idea. Now you can learn how to build an R2 unit that doubles as a steampunk gentleman tea server. It turns out, it is surprisingly easy.

Sure, we’ve all got our Millennium Falcon toys, but this ship is even cooler when it levitates. Star Wars fan and model builder @HanakiMasatoshi has built a very cool floating mini-model of the Millennium Falcon to celebrate the release of Rogue One in Japan.

Back in the day, if you wanted to have a record of where the dungeons and secrets were in a game like The Legend of Zelda, you had to draw your own map. These days you can just 3D print a detailed map, like this amazing replica of the game’s entire overworld. Willard McFarland bought this unique creation from the Facebook group Trade Sell Collect Retro.

Bellingham, Washington artist Ivan Owen of Danger First has created a pair of really large and really awesome mechanical hands. What impresses me the most is how detailed they are and how well they move. He calls them “Gepetto’s Folly,” and created them with a laser cutter using wood, leather, steel, and brass.

I never liked going on adventures with Dogmeat in Fallout 4. I tried it but he always seemed to step in front of me when I was shooting the crap out of something and I would accidentally shoot him.

A few years back, we spotted a Death Star made entirely from ginger snap cookies, and while that one looked crunchy and delicious, I think this one is even more impressive because of its construction technique using flat sheets of gingerbread.

Say the world has gone to crap. There are zombies everywhere, and it’s a Mad Max style world of kill or be killed. You have a monkey wrench in the garage, but what you really need is a cool knife.

Don’t you have enough to do this Christmas without having to worry about Christmas cards? The answer is yes. So build a LEGO machine that will handle all of your holiday card needs. That is what this Mindstorms assistant does. This machine churns out Christmas cards like an elf churns out toys.

Adam Savage is like a modern day Leonardo Da Vinci. I don’t think there’s anything he can’t do. This time, for the latest project in Tested’s One Day Builds series, he built a pedal-powered walking Strandbeest! Obviously, the build was inspired by the walking machines of Dutch artist Theo Jansen, who gave Savage some advice about how to build one of his own.

Look at these people cheering and hopping around. You might think they just won some sort of cosplay contest or something judging by their outfits. But what you are about to watch is the aftermath of someone winning a Rock, Paper, Scissors contest. I mean I haven’t played Rock, Paper, Scissors since I was ten and needed to work out who would get the top bunk at the sleepover.

Pokémon are cute little creatures as cartoons and I’d bet everyone who has ever seen one of the creatures on TV or in a game has wondered what they would look like in the real world.

A giant tall imperial walker playhouse is every kid’s dream. Well, Colin Furze is making dreams come true, because he built one in his backyard for his kids. This 18 foot-tall walker was built to scale using an AT-ACT toy from Rogue One for reference.
