In my house, it is rare that cookies make it beyond the cookie dough stage (I eat tubs of cookie dough all the time) so I’m not sure these cookie cutters would be a good fit for me, but for the cookie loving Star Wars fans out there, these are some pretty cool Star Wars cookie cutters!

I have posted some Star Wars cookie cutters in the past, but these are focused on droids and aliens. This Star Wars Droids and Aliens cookie cutter set features R2-D2, C-3PO, a Jawa and Chewbacca. The best part is that Williams-Sonoma is selling the Star Wars Droids and Aliens cookie cutter set for just $19.95. As you can see below, you can use them to make some pretty impressive cookies!

Disney Makes Awesome Chocolate Darth Vader Cupcakes [pic]

Some might consider this cupcake a chocolate overload (myself included), but this is a chocolate overload of awesomeness!

Apparently on Star Wars weekends, Disney’s Hollywood Studios sells these amazing chocolate Darth Vader cupcakes. I’m not sure how much they are selling them for, but can you really put a price on a Darth Vader cupcake that looks this good? I think not!

Although I think it looks a little strange without the handle on it, the lightsaber in the background seems like a nice touch since it brings some nice color to the cupcake.

The Ultimate Console Gamer’s Entertainment System [pic]

May 17, 2012 in Cool pictures, gaming with 0 Comments

Although I don’t often play them all, I still have every game console I have ever owned. Sadly, I don’t really have any place to have them all hooked up so most of them are sitting in boxes in storage or in my basement. Well, one gamer who has a couple more consoles than I do apparently decided to have all of their systems ready to go at any time and ended up creating this amazing entertainment system to house all of their consoles.

To say that I am jealous would be an understatement. Maybe someday when I have some room, I will be able to do this in my house. Until then, I will drool over this person’s setup.

Space Shuttle Food Truck for Sale [pics]

May 17, 2012 in Cool pictures, food, Space with 0 Comments

I have always thought it would be cool to own one of the space shuttles, but I suppose owning a space shuttle looking food truck would be much cheaper and almost as cool. Well, for those who have $150,000 laying around to buy a food truck that looks like the space shuttle, this awesome Space Shuttle Cafe food truck is for sale on eBay!

As cool as this food truck looks, perhaps the most interesting part is its history. This space shuttle food truck started its life as a plane built in 1944 for flying in World War II before spending the next couple of decades as a commercial airline before it got hijacked to Cuba. Then, in 1976, it was made roadworthy when it was put on a GMC bus frame and then in 2001, it was turned into the Space Shuttle Cafe. Talk about an interesting life!

Demon Hunter Cosplay from Diablo 3 [pic]

May 16, 2012 in clothing, Cool pictures, gaming with 0 Comments

It seems like the gaming world has been overtaken by Diablo 3 hype this week. I’ve seen a ton of mixed user reviews about the game so far that range from a 9/10 to a “this crap doesn’t work!” Personally, I usually wait until the first patch for a game comes out to avoid any of these launch headaches that everybody seems to be experiencing.

No matter what your thoughts are about the new game, the one thing I think we can all agree on is that this Diablo 3 Demon Hunter cosplay is absolutely amazing! I don’t know who the cosplayer is that is sporting this amazing Demon Hunter cosplay, but this picture was taken by photographer Onigun. I hope this is just the start to seeing some great Diablo 3 cosplay!

Nintendo Game Boy Watch Boy Wrist Watch for Sale [pic]

May 16, 2012 in Cool pictures, gaming, Nintendo with 0 Comments

I remember always wanting a Nintendo Game Boy Watch Boy back when it was released in 1992. It seemed like the perfect thing to have since I have the strange hobby of collecting Game Boys. Well, its pretty rare to see one anymore so when I saw that one has gone up for auction, I became rather excited. Unfortunately, it looks like it is going to go for a lot more than I want to spend.

Ebay seller ssjgoku444 is selling this old Nintendo Watch Boy which is supposedly in great condition other than a couple minor scratches on the screen. As of the time of this writing, there is still over 3 days left to go and it is already at $255 with 76 bids. That is already way more than I would ever pay for a watch but it is taking every bit of self control I have not to bid on this!

It seems like almost all of the awesome shoes I blog about are women’s shoes and it is starting to get annoying. Guys like me want cool shoes too you know!

Well, keeping with the women’s shoes trend, Etsy seller ShoesbyLADY is selling this awesome pair of hand-painted Doctor Who themed TARDIS sneakers for just $40. You can get them in a number of sizes (assuming you wear women’s shoes) although there is no mention of widths. So, if you or somebody you know is a female Doctor Who fan, you should definitely get a pair of these hand-painted TARDIS shoes!

My favorite geeky Japanese sushi chef blogger Okitsugu Kado is at it again and this time he has created a Pikachu out of a sweet potato!

To give the lovable Pokemon a little color, the tips of Pikachu’s ears are made of wrapped up “Nori”. I never cease to be amased at what Oki can create with some vegetables and his awesome sushi skills. If you search sushi in the search bar on the right, you should be able to see a bunch of his other works of food art that I have posted which is largely a bunch of Star Wars themed creations.

Doctor Who and Donkey Kong Mash-Up T-Shirt [pic]

May 16, 2012 in clothing, Cool pictures, gaming, scifi with 0 Comments

A couple of days ago, a new t-shirt that I had ordered showed up that was a mash-up between Donkey Kong and Star Wars. Had I known that somebody had made a Donkey Kong and Doctor Who mash-up shirt, I probably would have gotten it instead since I am more of a Doctor Who fan than a Star Wars fan. Although the shirt I got is still awesome.

Well, for those out there that enjoy both Doctor Who and Donkey Kong, Redbubble is selling this awesome Doctor Who and Donkey Kong mash-up t-shirt for $24.54. The best part is that since it is Redbubble selling this shirt, you get to choose the background color although I think the default black looks great.
