Through a mysterious portal, the Orc hordes find what could be their ...
There are few movies that capture the attention of kids of all ages, and few characters who go on to become world renowned such as Iron Man.

Of all the movies destined to equal BACK TO THE FUTURE II in accurately foretelling 2015's eventual innovations, we have to admit, nobody in the Unique Hunters office pool picked STAR TREK: THE VOYAGE HOME. And yet, behold, Transparent Aluminum. No whales in space, though. Yet. More specifically, U.S. Naval ...
If the eighth season of the revived DOCTOR WHO has given us hope in anything, it's that there isn't so much a question of "if" we'll ever see a female regeneration of the Doctor, but thanks to the Master darkening time and space once more as "Missy", we're more optimistic than ever that it's a question of "when?" ...
Everyone loves waffles, because they taste great with butter and syrup, and they are easy to make.

Has R2-D2 been beeping just a tad resentfully at you every time you've hit YouTube's Replay button on the final STAR WARS - THE FORCE AWAKENS trailer? Well, given just what a fascinating little practical effect of a droid the rollin'-n'-tumblin' BB-8 looks to be, perhaps the galaxy's most famous astromech is right to ...

Gone are the days of the skillet fried oblong pancakes, enter the age off the pancake wars we have. Never again will your little padawans take ...
Give motivated gamers enough resources, and we can really amuse ourselves with damn near anything. In this case, Chatroulette actually turned out to be a pretty robust platform for Realm Pictures to develop first a live chat-bassed zombie horror game, and now, an equally immersive and fun space adeventure. It ...
Well, the Halloween season has come and gone, leaving only Thanksgiving standing between us and the holly-jolly deluge of Life Day goodwill. Oh, and not that it means anything at all, but there's also the matter of FRACKING STAR WARS: THE FORCE AWAKENS ON DEC. 18 IN THEATERS! But none of you would have any ...
Here's a little something to make your abode the toast of Tristram: a ThinkGeek-exclusive and original color-changeable LED Potion Desk Lamp. Have a big project deadline looming and low on HP with no Mountain Dew, no coffee and nary a healer in sight (i.e., your friends all have actual FUN plans)? Give this ...
The internet is jam-packed with weird… stuff, which is one of the main reasons why people love it so much, because you can be as weird as you want and someone out there will see it – the weirdness you’ve done online. Well, the internet is not just for humans anymore; now, animals such as peoples’ pets are garnishing ...
Eventual fixes or not, we're hard-pressed to imagine Ubisoft launching a game more disastrously than 2014's ASSASSIN'S CREED: UNITY. One year later, we have no choice but to give the triple-A French publisher their due and admit that not only did they learn so efficiently from their mistakes that ASSASSIN'S ...
World Parenting Champions Create Working MAD MAX Prop-Car Costume For Best Halloween Ever ....And STILL Grand Champions of Incredible Kids' Halloween Costumes Forever... There is some small, thankfully well-muted part of us that desperately wants to bitterly resent Cory and Jeremy Newton-Smith for the annual ...
Year after year, we've given this question some thought, but we never once nailed it down as we did upon witnessing this AMAZING fully-synched Halloween light display set to "Monster Mash" and Ray Parker Jr.'s GHOSTBUSTERS theme: as decor goes, why is Halloween just so much more interesting than Christmas? 4 singing ...
He's no red-nosed reindeer, but we have to admit, R2-D2 is Life Day's spunky little avatar of the holiday spirit in all of us. After all, he had Luke Skywalker's back when the green, fresh-faced moisture farmer from the galactic crap-hole known as Tatooine decided to take a stand against an oppressive government. ...
Since we acknowledge the possibility a few people out there might have spent last week somewhere both on a 30-year cultural delay and bereft of internet access, the world at large marked BACK TO THE FUTURE Day on Oct. 21, a literally once-in-a-lifetime occasion dedicated to Pepsi Perfect, self-lacing Nikes, ...
Ain't no party like a STAR WARS party, 'cause if you don't like something that happened at the party without your say-so, you can always put somebody else in charge of the party who can proclaim that it never happened and throw a much better party at your house the next week. The Force is mysterious. So are canon ...

If we didn't lay down a common-sense warning beforehand when extolling the benefits of products like the iPin laser for iphone and android, someone would do some things with these goods guaranteed to make us concuss ourselves with face-palms. So before we extol the virtues of this fantastically compact laser-pointer, ...
Everything in life is better when you're Batman. The glorious tech. A body trained to its physical peak. A job description that calls for punching out members of a certain superstitious, cowardly lot...dead parents...dead or previously paralyzed sidekicks...psychopaths bent on killing you...horrible love life that ...
In its sixth season and showing no signs whatsoever of losing steam, it's a mindblowing challenge for a fan of AMC's THE WALKING DEAD to nail down a single definitive, favorite visual. Maybe it's Carl and his pudding. Perhaps it was the moment everyone went full "F*** this noise", opened Herschel's barn, and culled ...
If Hoth and Dagobah taught us nothing else, it's that intergalactic travel comes with some brutal weather here and there. We have to figure Han, Luke, Leia and co. must have had access to some seriously posh footwear to keep them just deciding to take a lightsaber to their soggy, frostbitten toes. Or maybe the ...
We have seen the future of imaginative hair color - and, apparently, it is a cross between interstellar inspiration and MY LITTLE PONY: FRIENDSHIP IS MAGIC. No, seriously. Granted, these swirling symphonies of brilliant, daringly matched shades harkens to the explosions of light within a nebula beyond ...
Of all the things, it would be these Bed Bath & Beyond-exclusive STAR WARS Showerheads that leave us picking at Disney/Lucasfilm's nits. No looking a gift-horse in the mouth, here: we feel certain that nothing in any galaxy could get us quite so powerfully clean as a fallen Sith Lord's sweet, sweet tears. We've ...
If it can pound some sense into the Hulk, the ThinkGeek-exclusive Hulkbuster Bank can damn sure keep your couch change secure.

Damn, Disney. When you rain down STAR WARS: THE FORCE AWAKENS teases, it pours. Less than three months - that's how much longer we have to wait until the first full-length STAR WARS chapter in 10 years hits theaters on Dec. 18, and to say Disney has been judicious with their official content previews would be ...
There a few things that people who regularly use computers always seem to need more of, and those are more USB ports and free desk space to put… stuff. Stuff that computer users need are things like snacks, coffee and a place to put odds-and-ends such as paper clips, loose change or extra USB memory sticks. Today, ...
Admit it: at some point in school, even if you had never heard fantastic tales of a man from another world in a little blue box, you would've loved to command a little blue bag that was bigger on the inside. If the Doctor himself didn't have a loving bond with his Police Box of infinite possibilities, you just know ...
Working for Starfleet is just like any job, there is always some type of paper work or recording activity to do. That is why the scientists at Starfleet designed the standard issue Star Trek TNG Uniform Messenger Bags – Exclusive, to match the specific color of station uniform for starships’ crews: Blue Uniform – ...
As lifelong geeks of deeply personal tastes, we're accustomed to standing a breed apart in our defined styles. Nevertheless, there are those times we have to adapt, assimilate and just blend comfortably within the slice of the world around us that WON'T meet on the field of honor to decide among us which House should ...
Do you find yourself immersed in the world of Skyrim for hours on end, to the point where its impossible to distinguish reality from fantasy? Some games are truly amazing, like Skyrim, Elder Scrolls, for example. With an open 3D world to explore, gamers learn survival skills and how to negotiate and communicate ...
We can't have nice things. You can likely handle this polyester Ship Porthole Shower Curtain. We can't. We're geeks. We are highly referential creatures. Everything reminds us of something far-flung and far more fascinating than whatever happens to surround us. Normally, we have a handle on it. However, this ...
Sweet Bothan Jesus, R2-D2! Just what exactly does the Rebel Alliance have planned for you? Generally, it's impossible to ignore that the human face of the Rebel Alliance, despite the numerous other species surrounding it, is somehow whiter than Jim Gaffigan cannonballing into an ocean of Miracle Whip. Were we to ...
At long last, Lego has officially announced a December release date for its DOCTOR WHO-inspired LEGO DIMENSIONS set, along with some interesting story and character details. As expected, many a devoted Whovian is wibbly-wobbly with glee and wishing that time and space might hurry just a bit more the hell up and skip ...
Let it never be suggested that we geeks want for a little dapper touch of style. We may not be the wine-and-roses set or awash with champagne and caviar, but let's just say we never fail to give formal wear a "Rebelious" flair with classy accessories that are so elegant, they're downright "Imperial". Don these ...
The Force isn't the only entity in the galaxy with two sides. Every Yin has its Yang, its OTP other-half. A lock must have a key. A car must have a road. A Jedi must have a Sith, and every chip deserves its dip. Celebrate the dichotomy of all things with this STAR WARS Death Star set of matching chip and dip bowls. ...
Question, STAR WARS fans: have you watched the STAR WARS prequels or "special" editions of the original trilogy and thought, "These movies are not banana enough?" Well, to be fair, we've all watched those and thought, this wasn't SOMETHING enough. "Good" is usually the word we use. Ask no more! Next time, settle ...
It doesn't take much for us to tire quickly of this modern Hollywood conviction that a superhero-based adaptation can't be "taken seriously" aping the same grim, rough-hewn "grounded in reality" aesthetic that Warner Bros. in particular seems convinced they can dress every DC property in ad infinitum. With apologies ...
Is the Boredom strong with your younglings ages 8 and up? If so, then there's only one spunky little droid guaranteed to lighten the mood: the one, the only, the beepity-beeping R2-D2 Bubble Generator. We've often wondered not so much whether there was anything this sassy bucket of bolts couldn't do, but any ...
Every time up until now when we've imitated Oogie Boogie slamming his fist and re-rolling his signature nice, we just keep getting kicked out of casinos and buying people new coffee tables. Know how much seven oak coffee tables will set you back? We do. Bots Battleground is the game that finally cuts us a break. ...
We've always admired the will Tony Stark quickly found in IRON MAN to leave the world a better place than when he came into it. Not that we'd be ungrateful for putting his life on the line to save all of existence from Loki, the Skrulls and Ultron even after getting a great big shrapnel hug from one of his own bombs, ...
Santa Claus knows who have been naughty and who has been nice, and this holiday season no one can escape the spirit of Christmas, because the Force is strong with Saint Nick.

Few movies have achieved an iconic status around the world, one such movie is ‘Back to the Future’, starring Michael J. Fox, Christopher Lloyd and his Delorean car/time machine. In fact, the popularity of the car throughout the movie and over many decades has not faded at all. Today, fans of the flick still love ...
We love us some innovative products that retail affordably and make incredibly cool things possible. Only one thing could be even better in our eyes, to be honest: when people like Instructables user MikaelaHolmes devises, produces and tests an inventive, resourceful creation and spreads the wealth to other ...
The holiday season is so many things to so many people. Some slap anyone who dares impugn their special-snowflake belief structure with a "Merry Christmas" or even "Happy Chanukah" in a merry little chokehold. Some of us kick it with a bottle of 12-year-old single-malt scotch and DIE HARD. If Christianity happens to ...
Welcome home, Mr. Stark. The 2% milk is currently cooled to an optimal 42 degrees Fahrenheit. I have just finished filling the Hulk-Buster suit with roughly 25,000 snickerdoodles and the Mark II armor helmet has been filled with chocolate-chip cookies that reached ideal moistness and temperature for consumption five ...
So stop drinking unicorn blood and chug from the mug! We need a compromise, here. Don't tell us you haven't been drinking unicorn blood again, damn you. It's as plain as Voldemort's noseless face. You're drenched in blood and banned from the Kentucky Derby because there was just no convincing you that, one, neither ...
