DJ Leia Spins the Tunes on R2-D2 on this Awesome Shirt [pic]

Jeremy Bray — November 27, 2012 — 2 Comments

It has been years since I have had the pleasure of experiencing a live DJ but when you find a good one, they are absolutely amazing. Well, apparently in a galaxy far, far away, even Princess Leia likes to get her DJ on! Who knows if she is any good at it, but I would still at least check her out, especially if she is spinning the tunes on R2-D2!

Well, for those that like the idea of DJ Leia spinning records on R2-D2, then you are sure to love this shirt!

The fantastic folks over at TShirtbordello are selling this awesome DJ Leia t-shirt for just $10 (on sale from $14.99)! There is also a women’s version of the DJ Leia shirt for $12.00.

I have a number of shirts from Tshirtbordello and they are a very good quality shirt so you can buy with confidence so get to shopping before the price goes back up!

Awesome Lord of the Rings Scarf Pattern [pic]

Jeremy Bray — November 27, 2012 — Leave a comment

It wasn’t until last week that I finally started watching the Lord of the Rings movies. I know, I am a bit behind and feel free to make fun of me for it in the comments as all of my Facebook friends are doing that already, but I just never had any desire to see them until recently. While I still have the last movie to go, so far I am really enjoying the movies although they are a bit long for my taste.

Well, for those that are more hardcore Lord of the Rings fans than I am and who also have some knitting skills, I have found the perfect Lord of the Rings scarf pattern for you!

Ravelry user Diana Stafford uploaded the pattern for this ‘One Ring’ scarf that you can download for free assuming you have the skills to make this or know somebody that would make it for you.

If you want to keep your neck warm and love the inscription on the ring from Lord of the Rings, than this might just be the scarf idea for you!

Spectacular Legend of Zelda Nintendo 64 Cake [pic]

Jeremy Bray — November 27, 2012 — Leave a comment

When it comes to Legend of Zelda inspired cakes, I think the one pictured below might just be my all time favorite. In the past, I have posted a number of great Legend of Zelda cakes such as the Legend of Zelda: Wind Waker inspired cake as well as a very impressive Legend of Zelda wedding cake but while those are fantastic, none of those included a Nintendo 64!

This amazing Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time inspired cake which features a Nintendo 64 was created by Black Cherry Cake Company. If this cake is any indication, I would say whoever Niffy is had a fantastic 21st birthday!

I’m not sure what the delicious details on the cake are, but the level of detail on the N64, controller, Link, Zelda and everything else is stunning! I would give anything to have a cake like this for my birthday!

Amazing Superhero Cupcakes [pic]

Jeremy Bray — November 27, 2012 — Leave a comment

For all of the amazing cupcakes that I post on Global Geek News, I never seen to find any good superhero cupcakes to post. To date, I have only had one other posts with superhero cupcakes which had Boba Fett serving up some really geeky cupcakes. Well, now I have found some spectacular superhero cupcakes to share with you!

These fabulous superhero cupcakes were made for somebody’s birthday by Sweet Cheeks Cupcakes. There are a bunch of some of the most popular comic book characters represented in these cupcakes including Spider-Man, Captain America, Wonder Woman, Superman, Batman, and Iron Man. They all look amazing too!

This R2-D2 Flask is the Droid That Alcoholics Have Been Looking For [pic]

Jeremy Bray — November 27, 2012 — Leave a comment

I have never been one to drink alcohol in any form and have no desire to change that. However, for those that do and like to carry a flask around with them so they always have some booze on them (if that is the case, I suspect you may have a drinking problem), this R2-D2 flask might just be the droid you have been looking for (assuming you are a Star Wars fan)!

Etsy seller YourFlask is selling this 6 ounce R2-D2 flask for just 16.99. This flask features R2-D2 on both sides and the R2-D2 image is created with high-quality adhesive waterproof vinyl.

If R2-D2 isn’t your ideal flask, apparently they also do custom flasks so if you want a custom flask, they would be the ones to contact.

Star Wars Inspired Original Trilogy Poster Collection [pic]

Jeremy Bray — November 26, 2012 — 3 Comments

One of the things I really hate about my bedroom is the texture on my walls because it doesn’t play well with posters. I suppose if I hit the lotto, I could have all of my posters framed and hung on the walls but that is too expensive so I just have a bunch of tubes of posters sitting around. I tried hanging posters when I was a kid with some of that silly putty type stuff but it didn’t really like to stick very well and it would leave grease spots on my posters after a while. Well, for the Star Wars fans that like to hang posters, I have found some posters you will love!

Etsy seller LynxCollection is selling this limited edition set of Star Wars posters inspired by the original trilogy for just $49.95. These amazing Star Wars prints measure 11″ x 17″ and only 750 of them have been made. The artwork on the posters was created by Drew Roberts and I would say Drew did an amazing job!

I wish I had the walls to hang these amazing Star Wars posts as I love the original trilogy but that is one remodeling job I don’t want to mess with. I also kind of spent most of my money on all of the amazing deals I have found since Thanksgiving. However, if you love Star Wars, have the right walls and some money, I suggest you go buy a set before they are all gone! These would also make a great gift for any Star Wars fans you know this Christmas.

TARDIS Mini-Fridge [pics]

Jeremy Bray — November 26, 2012 — 1 Comment

If I had any spare outlets in my room, I would love to have a mini-fridge next to my desk so I wouldn’t have to go to the kitchen so often to refill my drink which would really come in handy during marathon gaming sessions. While any mini-fridge would certainly do the job, I would rather have a TARDIS mini-fridge keeping my drinks cold!

The amazing people over at ThinkGeek are selling this awesome Doctor Who mini-fridge for $79.99. Its not the biggest fridge in the world but it will still hold 6 cans of pop (12oz cans). Apparently it also has a heating feature to heat your food rather than cool it and it makes the usual TARDIS noises when you open and close it!

However, if a mini-fridge is too small, you could also make a full size one yourself like the TARDIS fridge I recently posted.

Geeks vs Hipsters Infographic [pic]

Jeremy Bray — November 26, 2012 — 2 Comments

It is fairly rare that I post any infographics despite how interesting I may find them just because they are usually so large that they tend to take up the room of 3-4 posts with a single infographic and I don’t like to overpower the Global Geek News homepage with a single post unless it is with something really amazing.

In the past, I posted a very interesting infographic comparing geeks and nerds and in the similar style of that infographic, we now have one on geeks vs hipsters! Check it out and tell us in the comments which one you are! I fall mostly in the geek category although I haven’t had a multi-use watch in years and I share the environmental concerns of the hipsters.

This Yoda Cake Looks Happy for You to Eat Him [pic]

Jeremy Bray — November 26, 2012 — Leave a comment

Maybe its just me, but I find it kind of creepy when my cake looks at me with a smile on its face. Its like it is approving of the fact that I am going to eat it and I prefer to think of my food as not having any kind of opinion. Perhaps I am just over thinking things but I can’t help but feel slightly uneasy when my food is staring at me with a smile.

Well, for those that don’t mind food that smiles at them, I suspect you will be very impressed by this Yoda cake!

This serene looking Yoda cake was created by the clearly talented people at Lovely Cakes. It may not be as dangerous looking as the giant Yoda cake I posted in the past, but it is still an amazing cake!

Amazing Excitebike Papercraft [pic]

Jeremy Bray — November 26, 2012 — Leave a comment

When it comes to the art of papercraft, it seems gamers know how to do it right. Back in January, I posted a really angry and rather bloody NES papercraft creation and found it to be rather impressive. However, when it comes to the collision of papercraft and old school gaming, this incredible Excitebike papercraft is the best I have ever seen!

This incredible Excitebike papercraft was created by Tommy Perez who loved the game growing up.

For some reason I never played this game when I was younger but I have become aware of it over the years and this seems like an excellent tribute to the game. I am very impressed with this 8-bit papercraft goodness and I hope Tommy does more stuff like this in the future!
