Last summer, YouTuber (and former NASA engineer) Mark Rober built the world's largest NERF gun and terrorized his kids with it. This summer, Rober is getting into water sports, putting his specific brand of engineering to use building himself a custom Super Soaker. Where the original is hand pumped, Rober's uses…
Unless you're gaming on a PC, it never occurred to us to attach a keyboard to your console. None the less, Sam Byford over at The Verge saw some use for one and had a few suggestions on how to make it better. Whether Japanese company Cyber Gadget was actually…
BIC has reached such ubiquity in the pen industry that we have to remind ourselves that they are an actual company and not another word for pen. We also have to remind ourselves that BIC hasn't been making pens since King John signed the Magna Carta. We do all that…
We've all seen videos of office workers who built medieval weaponry only out of stuff they found at their desks and we've all been jealous of them. It always looks simple, but when we actually try and construct something, we're the only victims of the miniature siege weapons. But Rubber Band…
Artificial human augmentation has to start somewhere, so the thumb must be as good a place as any. The Third Thumb comes from the mind of Dani Clode, who designed it to be one of the first prosthesics for non-amputees. Kind of how tons of video games feature ways to…
In what might be the most predictable third party product ever conceived, Colorware has started making Joy Con controllers in the classic NES style. The Switch's Joy Con controllers adopt the style pretty well, possibly better than any other time this has been attempted. The console's controllers already bore a…
Binging with Babish does a great job feeding us movie meals, but until now, we haven't had anything to drink with them. If we're going just by his channel that is. In this video, we get a whole bunch of cocktail recipes, all different and all delicious. The first one…
Depending on your point of view, the drinking culture in Game of Thrones is either a bunch of functional alcoholics trying to run a kingdom or a great party with good beer (in some pretty nice horn tankards) and appetizingly simple food. If you're more in line with the latter, you…
Fighting is a cinema staple at this point and no action-adventure would be complete without one. We love the fluid, expert fighting of modern spy movies, the magic of kung fu wire work, the brawling of aging adventure movies. They’re all exciting donnybrooks that make us want to double down…
The whole point of hanging stuff on your walls is to personalize your space and show off the kind of stuff you're into. There's no way to showcase single favorite songs. The closest you can get is band posters and album art. But with Vibrato, showcasing single songs is exactly…
The Napoleon Rogue 425 is on our shortlist of best 3-burner grills. It has enough space for 26 burgers, lights right every time thanks to the Jetfire ignition system, and the option for natural gas or propane. But more than all that is the side burner. They call it their…
In what might be the best news ever for backyard barbecues, the Department of Agriculture has begun testing a new type of bug zapper. The Photonic Fence, as the new device is called, uses cameras paired with more advanced optic technology to identify insects in an area 30 meters wide…
There's a lot of talk around here about cocktails and sipping whiskey, and if you're already talking about your drinks, you might as well put them in a noteworthy glass. The Slanted Bar Glass is a new angle on the traditional bar glass. A 45° angle to be precise. And…
You have to respect a well designed beer can and, for all their faults and murders, the Dharma Initiative did a great job with their minimalist label. The corporation's logo is already a masterclass in black and white design, so putting it on their can is a no-brainer. From there,…
Plenty of cars have long, fulfilling lives, but not many of them have the kind of varied, Le Mans heavy career this 1970 Porsche 917 K did. Almost every part of this car's early life revolved around making sure the Le Mans was a success. Initially, Team Gulf drove the…
