When I laugh manically and call out “Fools! I’ll destroy them all!”, people mostly just look at me funny. I mean, moreso than usual. I need this gadget developed by Tom Wyatt. The Tesla coils are controlled by a Kinect interface. Just shake your fists in the air and bellow out a diabolical cackle, and the coils turn on. Actually, you don’t need to laugh to activate the coils, but it looks kinda pointless if you’re not promising vengeance against your enemies at the same time.

Zelda:
Amazing. I still recommend you check out the 40 Greatest Uses of the Mario Theme, though. It’s got everything from the banjo, which I think sounds pretty good, to a dude with a remote control car that drives by a line of glass bottles and hits them to make the appropriate noise for each note.
