8-Bit Google Maps

Yesterday was April Fools' Day and the web was full of people trying to pull one over on everyone else. One of my favorites came from Google, who usually pull a few gags on this date. This year, they released an 8-bit version of Google Maps:

Superhero Chucks

DC Comics have teamed up with Converse for some pretty awesome shoes:

Coolest USB Drive Ever?

I am a little obsessed by USB computer accessories because they come in all kinds of crazy shapes, most totally useless. Do I have a purple USB lava lamp for my computer? Yes I do. So I've seen a lot of random and cool USB drives, but today I think I've found the coolest of them all.

Introducing the Voltron 2 GB USB drive:

Here are the specs:

• Perhaps the coolest USB drive ever made: Voltron!
• Articulated head and arms.
• Chest lights up with data transfer.
• Includes: Blazing Sword!
• Blazing Sword can be held in hands AND feet!
• Comes preloaded with a full episode of the classic Voltron cartoon - remastered, for your protection.
• Dimensions: 3.5" tall.

At $36.99, is it insanely overpriced for a 2 GB drive? Yes. Do I still want it? HELL YES. I think maybe I need a Leap Day gift. Form blazing sword!

Converse Is Breaking My Heart Again

Remember last year when we told you about the Super Mario Bros. Converse that was only available in Japan?

Guess what?

Nintendo and Converse have once again teamed up for another shoe. Sadly, it's also only available in Japan. Curses!

Bra Shopping With Culture Brats

Got a few bucks left over after the holidays? Time to treat yourself to a bra!

But not just any bra... a Pac-Man bra!



It even glows in the dark! No more fumbling around!

Not your style? How does Batman suit ya?

Pocket-Sized Aqua Teen Hunger Force

Bored over the weekend, a friend sent me the link to Miss Coffee's deviantART page. What can you find there? Homemade pop culture plushes, like this cool Aqua Teen Hunger Force one:

The Ultimate Christmas Sweater

This would be the PERFECT thing to wear to the office Christmas party this year!



Unfortunately, you can't buy them right now. It has to be voted into the rotation at Threadless or something like that. So go vote!

Damn You, Target!

They tricked me into discussing their ad on Culture Brats by exploiting my weaknesses: 8-bit graphics and Gwen Stefani (yowza!):

Perfect For Your 8-Bit Poker Nights: Space Invaders Playing Cards

Ice Cold Schweddy Balls For Your Mouth

If you read our SNL post a few weeks ago, you know we're a big fan of Alec Baldwin's "Schweddy Balls." Turns out the folks at Ben & Jerry's are too as they've just announced their latest flavor:

Yep, that's right, not even Ben & Jerry could resist Alec's Schweddy Balls.

This is my favorite part though:

Alec Baldwin, who will be hosting this year's season premiere on Sept. 24, had this to say via a press release from Ben & Jerry's: "For a long time, I thought that ‘Here Lies Pete Schweddy' would end up on my tombstone. Now, thanks to Ben & Jerry's, the goodness of the Schweddy family recipe won't go with me to the great beyond. It is immortalized here, right now, and it's an ice cream. Ben & Jerry's and Schweddy. Two great names in American dessert, together at last."

Ana Gasteyer also chimed in: "As a person and a performer, I am a sucker for holiday balls. And I have no doubt this ice cream will cause many to scream 'Good Times.'"

Indeed.
