This guy has a device (that I think he invented) that allows him to shoot fire from his hands. For some reason, all I can think of is that scene from Iron Man where he breaks out of the terrorist cave using little more than industrial equipment and science. By the way, that movie was awesome up until the point where he blew up the tank, then the movie took a fast dive into the drab. Up to that point, the main character was witty and charismatic and the action was pure B movie gold. That movie could have ended with him having escaped the terrorist camp and being stranded in the desert, and I would have thought it was an awesome movie. It could have ended after he came back and craved hamburgers, and it would have been great… but when he started flying with the airplanes, the movie went to crap.

This X-ray umbrella is an excellent goth accessory… along with black clothes- and lots of it. Nothing says “I’m morbid” like paying too much for stuff and having X-rays on your umbrella. I couldn’t find a price on this mofo, so it could just be a concept for all I know. No problem, any goth worth his/her salt should be acquainted with a radiologist anyway. Right? If not, dig around in your favorite web site directories until you find one. I’m willing to bet that they would literally give you their old X-rays… or you could just dig around in the hospital garbage until you get enough of them. Damn those goths are resourceful.

I’m not sure why anyone would want this, but here it is anyway- a ring that is shaped like a toaster. I guess this would be ideal if you thought you were hot stuff? Of course you could just buy it for the OM NOM NOM OW! factor.

I’ve never played a Banjo-Kazooie game before, but since I played the Nuts and Bolts demo on the xbox 360, I was inclined to rent it. I really enjoyed the game, so I thought I’d write a bit about it. I played all the way through the campaign, but didn’t reach 100% completion, and I never playd online. Ever since I rented this game, I’ve been looking to get my hands on a copy with a decent sale price. Most recently, I found a it brand new at Buy.com for under twenty bucks. This is actually better than the prices that I’ve been seeing on eBay, and I’m tempted to just buy it there and be done with it. I mean, the lowest most used games go is about fifteen dollars these days, so this is about the best price you’re going to get on this game anyway.

Banjo Kazooie Nuts And Bolts is about 80% vehicle based. A good part of the game is spent building vehicles with parts that you find, buy and earn. This part of the game makes me think of playing with LEGOS when I was a kid. And a young adult. I have to admit that I was making rubber band, inertia and electrically powered lego cars will into my early twenties. Maybe that’s why I like this game so much- because it is a problem solving exercise- many of the challenges are won through superior vehicle design.

The leaderboards and upgraded parts awarded later in the game give the game a good enough reason to build new vehicles and try to tackle the challenges over and over again. Because of this, the game has very good replayability.

This game is loads of fun, offers up family friendly gameplay with lots of replayability- it is highly recommended, and if I had to give it a score, I’d say 8.5 or 9 out of ten. This game would make a great addition to just about anybody’s game collection.

MIT is working on crazy enviro robot-fish-spies. They’re supposed to monitor pipelines, shipwrecks and pollution.

These ridiculous looking plastic car accessories are perfect for ricers, and that’s about it. They look completely ridiculous and I don’t think that the lighting effect is going to be very good, just from looking at the pictures on the product page (lots of pics there, btw). This is one of the ugliest car accessories I’ve ever seen, and I chose the Hyundai version, because the Mercedes version was just plain wrong.
