Star Trek Enterprise Coffee Table [pics]

January 27, 2012 in Cool pictures, scifi with 0 Comments

As far as I can remember, we have had the same old coffee table in my house all of my life. I think it is pretty plain and needs replacing with something a little more interesting and I think I have found the table to replace it! This amazing Star Trek Enterprise NCC-1701-C coffee table will be on every Star Trek fan’s wish list this year! Unfortunately, it is likely to stay there because Etsy seller barryshields2is asking $3100 for this amazing Star Trek Enterprise coffee table. At least the shipping is free but at less than half the price, I think I would rather go for the Millennium Falcon coffee table I posted about a long time ago.

Battlefield 3 Cade Mod with Chain Gun and Drink Cooler [pic + video]

I have always been fascinated by desktop case mods. I may not have the skills to make them but to see a computer made out of things like a treasure chest or toilet is just awesome. In this case, Brian Carter from Bod-Mods was commissioned to make this amazing Battlefield 3 case mod. This amazing BF3 desktop features a built in chain gun (that spins!) and even a drink cooler! As cool as the minigun and drink cooler are, I think my favorite part is the military toggle switches. Here are a couple pictures but the video of it below explaining the build is what you should really check out.

I’ve never really understood why it is so rare to see stained glass outside of churches. I have always thought stained glass can be pretty cool but nobody seems to care about it these days. Well, at least there is one stained glass maker that makes non-religious stained glass! I don’t know where this was spotted or who made it but I would guess that some Legend of Zelda fan is the proud owner of this Hylian Crest stained glass. Any stained glass makers out there want to make me some Legend of Zelda inspired stained glass like this? You would be my hero!

Its been far too long since I have spent time playing a game with Donkey Kong in it. I always enjoyed DK games when I was a kid but I don’t think I ever loved it quite as much as this guy seems to. It seems kind of rare to see any Donkey Kong tattoos which is why I thought I should post this one. Pardon me while I go long for simpler days of monkeys throwing barrels at plumbers who are trying to rescue princesses without getting killed by one of the barrels. If there is one game that really needs a remake it is Donkey Kong!

I remember spending a considerable amount of my childhood playing Final Fantasy on the NES and the love for that game really makes me want these awesome drink coasters! This awesome coaster set features the black mage, white mage, red mage, black belt, fighter and thief from the NES classic. The coolest part is that Etsy seller iamadecoy is selling these awesome Final Fantasy coasters for just $25! The last thing I need is more coasters but these are so awesome that I think I need them anyway!

Twilight Princess In Magic Armor [pic]

I have yet to get around to playing Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess (I do own it) largely because of my hatred for the Wii and motion gaming in general but I have to admit that this magic armor cosplay is pretty cool. It is almost inspiring enough to get me to spend my upcoming weekend playing the game. Almost. I would hate to ruin my Wii’s reputation as a dust collector just because I saw some awesome Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess cosplay. Maybe someday I will play it but I doubt it will be soon. This photograph was taking by LJinto.

Tarfful and Chewbacca Cosplay [pic]

Its always nice to come across some Star Wars cosplay that isn’t slave Leia, Darth Vader or Stormtroopers. Those are so common that they almost aren’t very special anymore. However, its not every day that you see Chewbacca and Tarfful cosplay! Actually, this is the only Tarfful cosplay I have ever seen. Marcus and Chewie-changa are the awesome cosplayers inside of these wookies and I think it is pretty safe to say they did an amazing job with these costumes. I’m kind of curious to know how tall these guys are because they look rather tall, especially the guy in the Tarfful costume.

Even as a kid, I always hated having to do arts and crafts type stuff. Whether it was at school or church or wherever, I would have preferred to be playing video games rather than making something ugly out of noodles and string. Well, for those that are not like me and love to do crafts I bring you this awesome knit Death Star! For those that want to make their own, you can download the pattern from Ravelry for free! Sadly, lasers aren’t included.

I’ve never been one to collect plushies but I will admit these Team Fortress 2 plushies are pretty cool. Being a huge TF2 fan, I kind of want these but I really don’t know where I would put them because I have more crap than I need as it is! Anyway, DeviantART user krowzivitch is the person behind these awesome plushies and apparently makes them for sale! You can commission krowzivitch to make one (details here although all January commissions are taken but they will reopen in February) or there is a TF2 Engineeer for sale for $85 + shipping.

I have always been a huge fan of the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles (not the new crap) but I’ve never been one to own any TMNT merchandise other than the amazing video games. However, if you aren’t like me and like to get your hands on everything TMNT possible, then this Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles belt buckle might be what your collection needs! This metal belt buckle features the heads of all of the turtles and definitely brings back some fond childhood memories. If you want to geek up your belt a bit, you can buy this Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles belt buckle from SuperHeroStuff for $19.99.
