Warner Bros sent us pics of their fleet of food trucks that are busy serving up free breakfasts and lunches to Toy Fair attendees in NYC. As if free food wasn’t enough, the trucks also feature awesomely nerdy themes like The Dark Knight Rises, Batman, Green Lantern: The Animated Series and Young Justice, The Looney Tunes Show, Scooby-Doo and ThunderCats.
Check out a few more examples of these food trucks after the break.
I am a fanatical Giants fan. My father got me watching the games with him at the beginning of the 86-87 season and by the time they got to the Super Bowl that year I was already hooked for life. Whenever they reach the big game we always throw a huge party, so we’re already hard at work making plans. If you had told me a month ago that the Giants weren’t really a bunch of bums, I would have planned ahead and ordered up some of these absurd gadgets to make the party even more fun.
QMx sent me one of their new Battlestar Galactica Top Gun steins for review, and there’s not to say beyond the fact that I absolutely love it. I have a lot of beer glasses and steins, but this is my new favorite.
Not only is it a 1:1 scale replica of the BSG screen-used prop (Scar episode), its also incredibly well made. It’s kiln fired ceramic with a metal lid that has a nice, solid heft to it. Definitely a vessel for ace drinkers.
Check out more pics of the stein after the break.
If your New Year’s resolution is to be nerdier than you were the year before, using one of the following drinking gadgets on New Year’s Eve will have you off to a good start. Then again, there’s nothing good about getting into a fistfight over which Doctor was the best.
Some things are accepted as universal truths. Sure, there’s that whole “everyone has the right to pursue happiness” bit, but these facts are also permanent: there will always be people who love to eat and people who love to cook. Several of them will be on your holiday shopping list, and they will also be geeks (I’ve drawn a Venn diagram). We’ve picked out the best of nerdy food and cooking wares and gadgets to help make holiday shopping easier.
My plans for the Memorial Day holiday weekend definitely involve inviting friends and family over and firing up the grill. I might even bust out the croquet set for a game or two. Inevitably a combination of smoked meats, alcohol and the blazing sun will result in a heated argument about bonus strokes that will culminate in me hurtling my brother’s mallet over the neighbor’s fence. Good times — but I digress. The following gadgets can make your grilling party more portable, more extreme and more fun.
It’s April 1st, and that means companies are letting their imaginations run wild with phony new food products designed to build up our hopes then bring us crashing down to reality (I’m still holding out hope for breathable BaconAir).
Check out the list after the break—we will be updating it throughout the day as new products are discovered so make sure to check back in.
We all want to find the bar where everyone knows your name. But when you can’t find that, just head for the place where everyone will recognize your Rebel Alliance necklace.
If a bar or coffee hang-out has anything geeky, I will go. Build a Stargate, we will come. Besides the fact that it is just cool, it’s also a giant welcoming mat for people that might feel out of place at hipster joints. Proprietors don’t just put in a TARDIS because it’s cool. Well, they probably don’t. Chances are they are a huge, passionate fan. You walk in knowing that you’ll have something to talk about, that there’s already a connection, that you have a place. That you might even get to geek out with someone about the exact scale of Slave I. It makes a big difference. Here are some places where you can get your geek on.
Obviously, most of us don’t need much of an incentive to eat, but if you have kids who are picky eaters, it might help to make mealtime more fun. The following products will help you do that — well, most of the products will. I’m not going to pretend that a knockwurst-controlled pair of lederhosen has any practical value.
Take a look at what I had for lunch today—zombie flesh!
We’ve been waiting since last summer to get our hands on some of Harcos Labs Zombie Jerky, and the good news is that it’s finally ready to ship. The bad news is that this stuff isn’t worth the $5 per bag price tag.
