Ultimate Gaming Chair



It's called the X-Dream GYROXUS, works with a PS3, and sells for about $637:

However the X-Dream GYROXUS gaming chair lets you move along with the action – turn, dive, lift-off, and climb as you make your way through your favorite game – you will really feel it all. Talk about being thrown from your seat! The X-Dream GYROXUS has a contoured gamer’s seat and comes with a custom PS3 controller. Or if you prefer the Xbox 360, there is a GYROXUS gaming chair that supports the Xbox too.

Life Does Not End Well for Mario



From the intermittent, but awesome web comic Man Eggs by cartoonist Tom Bland.

You know, Super Mario Bros. would make a good tragic opera.

Adidas Producing a Wookie Suit



Adidas is coming out with a Wookie jacket! It'll be out this Fall or Winter. You can view more images at the link.

Really, though: less nylon, and more fur. You know, for authenticity.

I guess one could skin a Wookie to go really authentic.

Star Trek Easter Egg in Heroes



Star Trek actor George Takei played Kaito Nakamura in Heroes. This is a screenshot showing the back of the character's car. Look at the license plate.

I watched the first three seasons or so of Heroes before losing interest. Did you like it?

Okay, Maybe I've Been A Little Hard on Jean-Luc Picard



The guy did have a really rough time during his tenure as captain of the Enterprise-D. Especially the Borg experience. Guys, if I ever get assimilated, just shoot me. Seriously.

Above is a selection from the wonderful web comic Abstruse Goose.

"Someone broke the toilet!" Homer Simpson is almost as good a Vader at Arnold Schwarzenegger.

What if Leia and Luke didn't find out that they were brother and sister...until it was too late. Like after Leia got pregnant.

Warning: some foul language.

Do the Spine-Rip!



From the Christmas Pageant of Mortal Kombat (your liturgical colors may vary, but I guess that since this is Finnish, it's probably Lutheran, as it is a primarily Lutheran country, and blue is usually an Advent color in the Lutheran tradition. Yes, I fact-check these things. Sometimes.) This picture is by artist Olly Moss, who has been featured on Neatorama.

Text-Based Pong and Other Playable Video Game Parodies



This futile little game could only be improved by making it accessible in a command line prompt. I found it on a Joystick Division list of playable video game parodies. Among them is a RPG consisting entirely of inventory changes and a text-based version of Guitar Hero.

This is one of my most FAVORITE female anime characters. Shes just very beautiful and a well rounded character, I really loved her story.
