Sad Robot Clock

I’m not really sure what it’s supposed to be, or what its general purpose is, but what it does is pretty strange. It generally looks like a face, and has parts that move and click as the coils get tightened up. The video below basically shows what it does, but the entire process seems pointless and merely for the sake of amusement, if people are ever that amused by something so odd. Don’t get me wrong, it looks really cool. It’s designed with parts taken from a clock, a voltage meter, a cigar box, sewing machine parts, watches, candle holders, a chain and sprocket, and motors. The entire thing looks really strange, and again it doesn’t really make all that much sense, but I think that’s part of it.” w/ photos + video

Huge Inflatable NFL Players

This is the inflatable football player that leaves no questions about its owner’s team loyalties. All 32 National Football League teams are available; each player’s helmet bears the team’s logo, and each jersey bears the team’s trim colors. Grim-faced and determined with broad 3′-wide shoulders, the player stands with both arms extended as if he had just scored a touchdown, indicating his team’s undeniable position as the top in his division with twin “#1″ gestures. He inflates in minutes with the built-in electric pump–simply set it on the floor indoors (or outdoors using the four included ground stakes, tethers, and spikes), and plug into AC with the 6′ cord. Lightweight, durable 190-denier polyester construction resists weather for seasons of inflation and deflation; deflates to fit into its 10″ L x 10″ H x 8″ D storage box.” w/ photos

Top 10 Worst Video Game Movies

“Avatar: The Game, G.I. Joe: The Rise of Cobra (the game), Terminator Salvation (the game, yes): All awful, terrible things, but rotund men in suits know lots of you will buy these video games on account of having enjoyed the films, so you know, effort? Whatever. The reality of the reverse, however (that being when a game becomes a movie), is a much, much uglier place. While there have been some unexpected (yet still debatable) gems in the form of Resident Evil, Silent Hill and even glaringly inaccurate 1993 genre-first Super Mario Bros., more often than not, the end result is tragically funny, for all the so-wrong-they’re-still-quite-wrong reasons. And guess what? We’re going to check out 10 of the absolute worst of these filmic abominations. Prepare to be frazzled!” w/ videos
