After what felt like an eternity with the Xbox 360 (it’s been out for the last eight years, to be exact), Microsoft has finally unveiled the device’s next-gen successor. Called the Xbox One, the new home console goes beyond gaming, positioning itself as the quintessential sidekick for the large-screen HDTV in your living room. Home Entertainment: While Sony’s reveal of the PS4 centered on the console’s gaming features and graphics prowess, Microsoft kept its focus on the way the Xbox One [...]
Four decades after his unfortunate passing, Bruce Lee remains a relevant cultural personality, inspiring generations of action cinema fans and martial artists, both young and old. If you’re a fan, then you can’t miss the new Bruce Lee Legacy Collection, an extensive compilation of the kung-fu legend’s past work on film. Created by Shout! Factory, the box set brings the load of the iconic star’s Hong Kong blockbusters in their Blu-Ray debut. While I’d have liked “Enter the Dragon” (his [...]
You love hot sauce. And when someone has grown to love hot sauce as much as you do, it’s inevitable: you’ll eventually want to make your own because all the crappy spicy dressings in the stores just don’t tingle your taste buds the way you like. The Hot Sauce Cookbook is exactly what you need to get started on the path. Written by Robb Walsh, it’s billed as a “definitive guide to the world’s most beloved condiment.” Filled with recipes [...]
Kayaking is fun. But even hours upon hours of paddling on your Citibot Kayak won’t let you reach those remote upstream locations that are often prime locations for fishing, hunting and exploring. The 2013 Mokai ES-Kape solves that by offering a motorized kayak that you can take to those formerly inaccessible places. Powered by a Subaru EX21 electric-start four-stroke engine coupled with a proprietary jet drive, it can run through upstream paths and river hazards like a real boss. With [...]
I know the Pin Pres is designed as a reconfigurable children’s shelf. It makes a great space to stash their toys, it’s easy to rearrange, and it makes for endless hours of kiddie fun. Still, I want one for myself. Created by OOO My Design, the children’s furniture is comprised of a board packed with built-in push pins that go through to the other side. Kids can line up the shelves themselves or, more likely, they can just push [...]
That Prima Cinema you got a few months ago is plenty awesome. When you’re rich, though, there’s no point in settling for just an awesome home cinema setup. Make it super awesome with the IMAX Private Theater. Yep, an IMAX setup in your home, one they bill as “the world’s most immersive and luxurious entertainment experience.” This isn’t some downgraded IMAX experience either — it’s as equipped as the private IMAX screening rooms (modeled, specifically, after the one in Santa [...]
Sometimes, you want doormats that look classy to make your guests feel invited when they walk up to the door. Other times, you just want them to leave without bothering to knock. The Alligator Manhole Cover Doormat should accomplish that latter goal. That’s right, it’s a doormat done up to look like a manhole cover with an alligator trying to get out under it. That way, you don’t just freak out guests by having a manhole in your front door, [...]
Seriously, the wait for the last 8 episodes of Breaking Bad is agonizing. And from what I know, it won’t be up till the second half of the summer. In the meantime, you can satiate your Breaking Bad longing by playing with your Walter White action figure while soaking in a tub filled with these Bathing Bad Bath Salts. Don’t worry, these aren’t the designer drug variety of bath salts that precipitated a mini-zombie infestation a short while back. Instead, [...]
I’m somewhat disappointed that the Helmet Predator 2 isn’t actually DOT certified. I mean, imagine this novelty headgear paired with your Dark Knight or Wolverine motorcycle suit while you streak down the highway. Plenty wild, right? Of course, you can always still put it on, ride your bike, and just behead any cop that gives you beef about the helmet. I’m sure nothing wrong will happen after that. Made by Russian outfit NLO Moto, it’s a costume replica of [...]
Customizable rubber stamps never really became a thing. Mostly, because nobody invented one that’s actually functional and fun. Well, that could change with the Pixit, a Quirky project that gives you an infinitely customizable rubber stamp. Unlike many multiple-design rubber stamps, this doesn’t involve a rotating mechanical thingie (like the Office Speak Rubber Stamp) or swappable rubber surfaces. All those, after all, still put a serious limit on what things you can stamp on that Moleskine notebook your aunt got [...]
There are plenty of solutions for wirelessly streaming content from computers to the TV. Most of what we’ve seen, though, require you to buy into proprietary standards like Airplay or to mess with the streaming features on your favorite set-top box. So far, the Plair is the most straightforward, portable streaming solution we’ve seen. Created by NewDealDesign, it’s a WiFi-enabled dongle that plugs into theTV’s HDMI port. From there, just download the app onto your mobile device or open the [...]
Back when you went through a Hunger Games phase, the Bow and Mallow grew to become your favorite way to annoy family and friends. Now that you’ve gotten over it, you want a new way to fling marshmallows: we recommend getting one of these Mazookas. One-upping your standard handheld marshmallow shooter, the toy takes on the form of a shoulder-fired mallow launcher, allowing you to pelt enemies with sugary treats Rambo-style. It’s got power to spare, too, hurling mallows at [...]
If you’re going to spend an unjustifiable amount of money on a racing simulator, might as well choose one that’s as realistic as it can get. Other than having your own track built in the backyard, we doubt there’s anything that brings realism better than a full-sized F1 racer as a gaming platform, which is exactly what the Full Size Racing Car Simulator delivers. You know how gaming rigs now up the realism by using genuine bucket seats for race [...]
Your motoring-themed mancave is coming along nicely, with a gearbox table, iXoost speakers and gorgeous car prints on the wall. Now, all you need are proper automotive coffee table books to make it a palatable place for your guests to chill out in. Top Gear’s “The Cool 500: The Coolest Cars Ever Made” should be a mandatory addition. If you’re fan of Top Gear, you know what’s up: these dudes know their cars. And in this book, they let go [...]
You’ve had your fun with that Horse Head Mask and even upgraded to a Unicorn Mask once you got bored. Now, it’s time to take it to the next level of creepy. And, I swear, I’ve never really seen a mask that made me cringe the way these Lifelike Baby Masks do. Made by artist Landom Meier of Hyperflesh, it’s a real mask that depicts the likeness of a bald little baby doing one of his baby faces. The result, [...]
Your Parrot Drone may be awesome, but there’s nothing stealth about it. The thing’s just too big to fly without drawing massive attention. If you want a smaller, stealthier drone to satisfy your whims, you may want to turn your focus on the Crazyflie Nano-Quadcopter instead. Sold as a kit, it’s not exactly the fun-out-of-the-box experience you’ll get with other toy quadrocopters in stores. If you’re the type who likes to fiddle with your toys, though, this is about as [...]
Buying a small child a toy with an integrated solar panel for power is like flushing money down the drain. You just know they’re going to wreck that photovoltaic slab shortly down the line. While these Solar Foam Racers’ flexible solar panel isn’t damage-proof, it will probably last a heck of a lot longer than the rigid ones other toy cars use. Made by Toy Labs, the cars use a flexible polycrystalline silicon solar panel for its sun-gathering purposes — [...]
We come up with new problems all on our own. You saw that Ultra HD TV and decided to make it your problem to need it. And when you finally buy that 4K TV, you then stumble upon a new problem: you need a player that can send 4K content to it. Well, here’s your solution: the Sony X1 4K Media Player. Forget a new disc format with a bigger capacity than Bluray — this is all about downloaded and [...]
