Star Trektastic Borg Cubes Wedding Cake [pic]

Jeremy Bray — October 29, 2012 — Leave a comment

In case some of you either missed it or are really forgetful, I posted a video from an awesome Klingon wedding last week (Britain’s first at the Destination Star Trek London convention) and it turns out there was an equally geeky wedding cake to go along with it. Apparently the happy warrior couple had a 3 tier Borg Cube wedding cake for their happy event.

I probably would have never known about the fantastic Borg Cube wedding cake if it wasn’t for the cake maker, Restoration Cake, contacting me on Twitter to have me check out the geektastic cake featuring 3 Borg Cubes.

As for the delicious details of the cake, it was a red velvet cake with fondant icing. What surprises me most about this awesome cake is the amount of time it took to make it. It took 4 days to complete this Borg Cube wedding cake! It was well worth the time though. Congrats to the happy couple and the awesome cake makers!

Insane Dark Knight Home Theater [pics]

Jeremy Bray — October 26, 2012 — Leave a comment

It has long been a dream of mine to have a house that I could have an amazing home theater like the awesome Star Trek home theater I posted a while back, but after seeing this Dark Knight home theater, I think it almost might be cooler to have a Batman inspired home theater instead!

This very well done and insanely awesome Dark Knight home theater was created by Elite Home Theater Seating. Actually, they just designed this home theater that looks like it was built in the Batcave and aren’t doing the actual construction, merely providing the design and seating. Still, this has to be the coolest home theater ever!

I wonder how much something like this would cost? I’d suspect by the time you throw in the Tumblr (who needs Batman’s car in their home theater?!), I would suspect we are looking at this to cost into the millions of dollars. It would be worth every penny though!

Doctor Who Spoilers Book Engagement Ring Box [pic]

Jeremy Bray — October 26, 2012 — 2 Comments

If you are looking to get engaged to a Doctor Who fan, what better way could there be to do it than with a Doctor Who inspired engagement ring box? In the past, I have posted a really cool TARDIS engagement ring box, but TARDIS engagement ring boxes apparently aren’t for everybody.

I don’t know who made this (if you do, please let us know in the comments below so they can get the credit they deserve), but apparently somebody took the TARDIS spoilers book from Doctor Who and turned it into an engagement ring box. I’d say the idea turned out great!

If you are a Whovian looking to propose to another Whovian but are still looking for the right ring, I’d recommend you go with the fantastic TARDIS engagement ring I posted a while back.

Britain’s First Klingon Wedding [video]

Jeremy Bray — October 25, 2012 — Leave a comment

I’ve always wanted to go to one of the official Star Trek conventions in Las Vegas but from everything I have seen this week, it sounds like the convention in London is the one to go to. Not only were all of the Star Trek captains on hand for the event, apparently they even had Britain’s first Klingon wedding at the convention!

In the video below from the Destination Star Trek London convention, you can see 23-year-old Jossie Sockertopp and 29-year-old Sonnie Gustavsson from Sweeden get married in a Klingon wedding ceremony inspired by the one between Worf and Jadzia Dax on an episode of Star Trek: Deep Space Nine. This is exactly what I have wanted for a wedding ever since I saw the episode so I am very happy for this couple and very jealous.

Darth Vader Made Out of Darth Vader Toys [pic]

Jeremy Bray — October 25, 2012 — 2 Comments

For whatever reason, it seems rather socially unacceptable for adults to play with kids toys like action figures. LEGO seems to be an exception to that but even that seems to get some people to snicker and laugh. Well, while playing with dolls and action figures as an adult might seem odd to many people, it is completely awesome when they are used to create sculptures!

Australian artist Freya Jobbins is one such artist that takes old dolls and action figures, rips them apart and creates human sculptures out of them. In this particular case, she took a bunch of Darth Vader toys and made the head of Darth Vader.

I’d say this is just about as cool as the steampunk Darth Vader helmet I posted last year.

Doctor Who Rose Tyler Bad Wolf T-Shirt is $10 Today Only! [pic]

Jeremy Bray — October 23, 2012 — 1 Comment

One of my favorite geeky t-shirt designers is Megan Lara, so when I found out one of her awesome designs was coming up for sale for $10 today on TeeFury, you can imagine just how excited I got. If her name and style seems familiar, it is because I posted one of her fraking awesome Starbuck t-shirts (which I also own) a while back.

Well, for today only, you can get her Doctor Who inspired Bad Wolf T-shirt for just $10 on TeeFury. The shirt features Rose Tyler standing in front of the outline of the TARDIS with the words Bad Wolf featured prominently at the bottom. It also has a cool wheel of Doctor Who enemies including the Dalek and Cybermen behind Rose which is really cool.

If you like this shirt as much as I do, I suggest you go buy it before the deal expires! I am headed there to buy one myself as soon as I stop typing.

Star Wars Death Star Earrings [pic]

Jeremy Bray — October 23, 2012 — 1 Comment

Are you a Star Wars fan that likes to dangle things from your ears? If you screamed yes loud enough to wake up the neighbors, then I have found the Death Star earrings for you!

Etsy seller sudlow is selling these chic Star Wars Death Star earrings for $45.

I’m not sure if its a new feature of Etsy or just something I haven’t seen before, but you can select the shipping speed (and its related cost) for these earrings. That is definitely a nice feature if you want something a little faster than standard shipping will get it to you although an extra $22 for a $45 pair of earrings seems a bit much just to get it within 1-2 days.

Doctor Who TARDIS Cake Pops [pic]

Jeremy Bray — October 22, 2012 — Leave a comment

I still have yet to have the opportunity to try a cake pop, but one day it will happen. When it does, I hope that the cake pops I get to eat are Doctor Who themed like these TARDIS cake pops!

Earlier this year, I posted some amazing Doctor Who cake pops that included an Ood, Cyberman, Adipose and more, but for those that are just interested in some TARDIS cake pops, I have found the TARDIS cake pops for you!

I’m not sure who made these delicious looking TARDIS cake pops, so if know, please let us know in the comments so we can give them credit.

Whoever made these awesome TARDIS cake pops did a great job!

Boba Fett Gone Hunting Tattoo [pic]

Jeremy Bray — October 22, 2012 — Leave a comment

Around this time of year, it seems like most of the people I know are gone hunting. Although I have gone once or twice myself (I never shot anything), its not really my thing as I find it is a little too cold, involves too much walking and I really am not a big fan of killing animals unless its necessary. Well, it seems Boba Fett would disagree with me as he is also gone hunting.

I’m not sure what Star Wars loving hunter got this awesome Boba Fett gone hunting tattoo (if you know who this is and who made this awesome Boba Fett tattoo, please let us know in the comments so we can give them credit), but I’d say it was a good choice as it turned out great! I am very impressed by how well the color turned out.

Ladies Stormtrooper Tank Dress [pic]

Jeremy Bray — October 22, 2012 — Leave a comment

Nearly all of the tank dresses I see women wear seem to be one solid color and frankly, that is just a little on the boring side. Well, for the Star Wars loving women out there that are tired of the boring tank dresses and want something a little geekier, perhaps you would like this awesome Stormtrooper tank dress!

The awesome folks over at 80sTees.com are selling this awesome ladies Stormtrooper tank dress for only $28! That seems like a great price for all of the Star Wars loving ladies out there to get their Stormtrooper on!

One thing to note about this cool Star Wars inspired Stormtrooper tank dress is that they are fitted and the description says they do run small so keep that in mind when ordering.
