Gamerator combines my two favorite things: Gaming and Drinking

Merry Christmas!!

Well isn't that what you feel like after that title sentence? Of course you do! Because some genius over at Gamerator.com has gone and combined a draft beer keg and a video game system, ALL IN THE SAME MACHINE.

From Gamerator.com

The Gamerator contains nearly 100 classic arcade titles, and the customization opportunities are virtually endless. Each unit uses a Window-based PC, so Gamerator owners are free to add any other games, programs, or online access for whatever their needs may be.

The Gamerator also features ...
* A refrigerated interior capable of holding a standard keg of domestic beer (international options also available)
* A 26 inch flat-panel HDTV
* Two conveniently-placed cup holders to house your beverage while playing
* Professional, hand-built craftsmanship with each unit built to order for your specific needs
* A Windows XP operating system, allowing for the addition of virtually any program or application
* All Gamerators now come standard with a trackball system as well as the dual joystick setup.

If robots want to take over the world with stuff like this.....let me roll out my red carpet. The Gamerator costs about $3500, so better start counting your change and hit up a coin star to buy this thing!

Maybe its not such a good thing to be over-prepared?



Just reading this title makes me confused. So let me help you try to understand exactly what this is.

The Shit Box is basically a collapsed box that folds out into a portable but sturdy toilet. You take care of your "business" and then can even let a friend use it. Yeah that's right...its reusable. But don't worry, it comes with box of poo bags so you can use it "over and over again". Gross.

Perhaps the best news is that you can have the option of several different styles of Shit Boxes. There's the Standard, Ploo and Shit Camo. There are even little Shit Boxes for kids and a waterproof "jacket" for your shit box. The roughly $24 product markets itself as natually towards outdoorsy people that don't bother to use a camper or rent a cabin. To each their own...But I can see its use for long hunting or fishing trips.

If the situation arises...and I was offered one, I think I would defiantly use this product. But to be the person who actually buys the damn thing and keeps it with you in case of an emergency? I'm not sure I would be comfortable being your friend. At the very least, I'd probably make fun of you and then use it anyway.

Well played Shit Box.

Nothing says "hello" more than an Adam West Kick to the Face with these things

Being a huge fan of old school nostalgia, coming across these fantastic new shoes from Brass Monki is precisely the kind of thing that makes me get the itch to hack my credit card out of that block of ice in the freezer.

Lucky for myself, I can somewhat try to resist buying these shoes for my Halloween costume in October. I use the word "try" very very loosely.

These new shoes are not based off the fancy new cartoons, but rather the old school Batman and Robin. Take a look at the ridiculously cool shoes, make sure you have a high credit card limit and then head over to the site to purchase.

Tube Socks, Samurai Doritos, Farmers, Hug E Grams and Hamsters.

Lately on tv, I've been noticing a trend of angry political commercials or annoying music commercials (thanks FreeCreditReport.com for the mess you started) but thankfully, a few dark and just weirdly funny commercials have also started appearing on air. Sure its clear someone on drugs made these commercials...maybe that's why they're so great



Hit Me Again Tube Sock!


When you first watch this commercial, an immediate "WTF Did I Just Watch?" comes into your brain. All I know is if my grandpa had a giant tube sock shocking him everyday, that's a show I'd pay to see!

Over 50 characters featured in giant side scroll image

Mega Man is easily one of the most recognizable Nintendo characters of all time and one of Capcom's faces of the company. Its because of this that it should be no surprise when a countless amount of fan art is created.

But the image from artist Suzuran, also known as Wave, managed to create a side scroll image of 54 Marvel characters turned into little Mega Mans. These images along with other beautiful anime fan art and comics can be found on her profile over at deviantART.

And it could quite possibly the cube from Transformers.....

This block consists of 125 pieces of different metals that can be broken down and put back together in form of a .45 caliber pistol complete with laser sight.

From LikeCool.com


"Michigan machinist GarE Maxton makes many different types of interlocking solid puzzles of this type, this time, he made a Puzzle Pistol, a single shot 45 caliber muzzle loading pistol, called the Intimidator. The Intimidator Puzzle is composed of over 125 pieces made from brass, bronze, copper, aluminum, magnesium and steel.

Once disassembled, about 20 of the pieces can be recombined to make a functioning single-shot pistol. Other parts of the puzzle separately and securely store "a customized set of tools, all necessary hardware, 45 caliber bullets, a standard sight, a laser sight, a canister containing black powder pellets, a secure storage area for 209 shotgun primers, a spent primer removal tool and a ramrod for loading the bullets."


Still don't believe me? Hit the jump to see pictures of the gun put together....

Most people love LEGO's enough to never, and I mean NEVER, part with the smallest the pieces. I could be 67 years old and never trash the box that holds thousands of pieces that will never be put together solely for the reason of keeping my toy options available.

Well these guys in the following video have decided to take their love of both Metallica and LEGO's and create their own concert complete with stop motion Lego guitar rifts, a headbanging crowd and even a drum solo.

Is there better things to do with your time? Sure, but this is why the internet is awesome, so much time wasted on making this video and even more time wasted on watching.

Doesn't mean we all still can't enjoy the hell out of it.

 

Thanks to Steve Vandergriff for sending it over.

For Rich Geeks Only: SNES Bed Costs $20,000

When I was a child, my first obsession with gaming did not come with the original Nintendo, but rather the Super Nintendo. With cartridges as tough as nails, most of collection has withstood the tests of time.

Since the 80's, a Nintendo fan has a plethora of nostalgia to choose from. From ice cubes to satellite dishes, Nintendo knows how to brand their products. But did you ever think you would see the day of a Super Nintendo bed? And the damn thing looks just like it!

Besides the price, the bed looks pretty cool but it looks terrible at actually being comfortable. But it does include iPad docks on both sides, 4 speakers and a 250-watt amp.

A debate on twitter arose last week when the question was asked by our newest guest post writer Ryan Thompson:

"Which is better: Voltron or Power Rangers?"

Being as how I was born in the 80's, the natural answer was Power Rangers. As an avid fan of the show that debuted in 1994 that admittedly looks a lot like Voltron, I became completely entrenched in this show that aired since with different variations. The show was so popular at one point that a movie was made from the series. (watch the movie in parts on youtube)

Naturally my favorite was Kimberly, the fabulous Pink Ranger but there was a Ranger for any kid. Gotta love diversity of the 90's when you throw in the Asian as the Yellow Ranger and the Black guy is amazingly the Black Ranger.

Oooooh the creativity.... But the sub-par special effects, crazy costumes and always believable fight scenes hooked me from the minute I saw the first episode.

By now you are either shaking your head in disappointment at my lameness or you share in the love of what was a really great show.
