Wether you were enamored with the unintentionally funny 60’s show or not, this modern reboot of the classic Star Trek television series will make a complete nerd out of you. Packed to the brim with superior blockbuster action and a shiny storyline to boot, this is the film that everybody will be going Blu-razy over!

No? Did you cringe too? Yeah, I’ll trash that one.

It’s gearing up to be a cold one this year, so make sure it’s a stylish one as well.

The Melange Cardigan by Shades of Greige is a slim-fitted winter option that comes in a black and white knit and shows off sophistication with a complimenting shawl collar.

Hey, wait a second, that t-shirt looks awfully familiar. I wonder where I’ve seen it before?

The delightfully dark new Kidrobot series from Patricio Oliver is spellbinding. The Cucos Mini Figures collection is a harboring of unique and devilish characters that are elaborate in both detail and imagination. These baddies are a vinyl nerd’s must-have.

Cucos is a blind-boxed series with thirteen figures and two chases.

In an epic move from Marvel, Astonishing X-Men has been released as a full-fledged digital comic exclusively to iTunes with a new episode premiering every two weeks.

The ongoing series created in 2004 was an awesome gathering of the X-Men universe and with the introduction of a digital release, this decade-spanning series can finally reach the masses in a new, and growing, medium. Smart move, Marvel. Smart move, indeed.

DJ Hero

While most of us may have never dreamt of delving into turntablism, most of us also would never have dreamed of pretending to play guitar and drums on our home consoles.

So, put your expectations and opinions aside and get psyched about Activision’s long awaited turntable-based game, DJ Hero. With over one hundred complete tracks, and playable characters such as Jay-Z, Eminem, and Daft Punk, DJ Hero will have you cross-fading top forty hits into ear-kicking electronica and rap while, again, investing time into a plastic instrument instead of “the real thing.”

But who am I kidding, fake skills are better anyway.

Stateside, we are reluctant to get a lighter that isn’t wrapped in eagles and freedom. Luckily, we have Japan to satisfy our trendy needs.

The Queue Stick Lighter is the chic and trendy option from our beloved Japan. Available in a cluster of two-tone color options, these refillable lighters are compact enough to slide into your favorite smokey treats for discrete, and outright cool, storage.

Women’s Wrap Boot by Toms

Not to be mistaken for leg braces, the Women’s Wrap Boot by Toms is a tricky interpretation of, well, boots. Made by the enjoyably simple Toms, these unusual kicks are made from elastic wrap, come in a medium brown, and are, if somewhat head-tilting, a great progression for Toms.

GP2X Wiz MAME/Amiga/Console Emulator

admin — Fri, 23 Oct 2009 12:41:57 +0000

This is the last and only handheld emulator you will ever need. The GP2X Wiz MAME/Amiga/Console Emulator (nice name, marketing team) does it all to the point where you’ll only need this and a toaster for the rest of your life. Wait, yep, it’s a toaster too. It’s been confirmed, readers, it’s also a toaster*.

This compact supermachine can emulate the Atari ST, Commodore 64, NES, SNES, Gameboy, Gameboy Advance, NeoGeo, and flash games. Not ridiculous enough? Well then, you’ll be delighted to know that the GP2X Wiz-thing has a built-in e-book reader, calendar, and voice recorder. You know, just in case we lose the master blueprint for every smartphone.

But seriously, this thing is pretty incredible. All you need is to know how to Google and the, um, “Handheld Emulator” and you’ll own every arcade game known to man. And then some.

*Not actually a toaster. Duh.
