Frenetic flaming fights get a lot more complicated when you#8217;re carting one of Rapture#8217;s creepy unchildren around, as the newly released emBioShock 2/em multiplayer trailer proves#8230; but they still look a lot like regular ol#8217; Capture the Flag. It#8217;s just that the flag, in this case, happens to look a lot like a little girl.
It#8217;s#8230;

If you think that the Segway is too expensive, you#8217;ll probably be disgusted with the Air Board, a $14,000 (USD) personal hovercraft. Then again, it#8217;s a personal hovercraft! The product page clarifies for us peasants that #8220;hovercrafts are not just very unique and unusual gifts, they are actually available.#8221; So we#8217;re clear on that okay? Hovercrafts#8230;

I can#8217;t say whether or not this Proton Pack will actually trap ghosts, but from this brief glimpse, there is one thing I can say for certain: this badass project is sure to score the top prize at Halloween costume contests, and isn#8217;t that worth more than a ghost in a box?

At first glance, this seems to be from the#8230;

The brain-like goo in this case is just Bailey#8217;s Irish cream. It ends up like#8230;

I swear some of the best stuff we’ve posted here at technabob has originated from someone’s Coroflot portfolio. In this case, it’s Mexican industrial designer Gabriel Cañas#8217; Tetris Chair, which is so amazingly gaudy that only Willy Wonka could ever hope to love it.
And geeks like me.
Unfortunately, the Tetris Chair remains Gabriel’s baby#8230;
