What is it? Game 87

Posted by Alex in What Is It on January 8, 2009 at 6:41 am

Our weekly collaboration with the What is it? Blog brings us this mysterious object – can you guess what it is for?

Place your guess in the comment section. No prize this week, so you’re playing for fame and glory only. Please don’t post any URL – let others play.

For more clues, check out the What is it? Blog.

Update 1/9/09 – the answer: An Honor Box or English Tavern Tobacco Box from the mid 1800’s, it could have been found in a bar where a patron would insert a coin and push the button to open the lid and, on his honor, take out just enough tobacco to fill his pipe.

Congrats to Shrike who guessed right!

Tuttuki Bako Virtual Reality Box

Posted by Alex in Toy & Video Games on January 1, 2009 at 11:18 pm

Tuttuki Bako (or Tuttuki Box) is a toy unlike any other.

Made by Bandai Japan (who else but the Japanese would make such a wonderfully silly thing?), the box is a clock … until you insert your index finger into the hole on its side. Then, it’s game on: you’ll see a digital replica of your finger and you can explore a virtual world like tickling a Panda, or playing with a squishy slime ball.
