Wizards of the Coast Gift With Purchase Weekend
Wizards of the Coast has a very cool promotion this weekend. There’s still time, so get over to a game store ASAP. If you visit one of the participating retailers and purchase $15 or more worth of WotC merch, you can choose one of the items above for free. Very cool, Wizards!
Found Art
So, this one isn’t likely to be anything you buy, but I do like the creativity. A North Carolina State University student was arrested this week for stealing the materials to make this roadside monster.

The Horror in Your Bathroom

ThinkGeek is now carrying the Horror Shower Curtain & Bathmat set to help geek up your home.

To be sure, the swag to be had [...]
Zombies at the Riviera
Need something for those bare walls? You could go with a movie poster or dogs playing poker or something your wife likes and you can live with.
But if you want something unique that’s sure to kick off a conversation about the best means to survive a zombie invasion, artist Lucy Knisley will be selling this [...]
Dr. McCoy’s Tricorder at Entertainment Earth
The medical tricorder was like Green Lantern’s ring to Bones (who happens to be my favorite Trek character). Entertainment Earth has the exclusive on the Star Trek medical tricorder featuring detailed lights, controls and seven classic phrases by the late great DeForrest Kelley.
‘77 Trailer
Do you remember the first time you saw Star Wars? For me, it was a prolonged wait. Episode IV premiered when I was six, and Pinnochio was at the same theater… So, my parents winced and took me in to see the puppet while my older brothers met Luke and Han and Darth Vader for [...]
