Nick’s Friday Round-Up

Let me set the scene. You're playing an intense FPS. You're about to turn to pwn a n00b with an impeccably accurate headshot, when all the sudden you're hand slips on the mouse from hand-sweat, and you miss the shot, only to be noticed by the n00b and killed in a flurry of bullets. *insert Sarah Mclachlan ASPCA background music* Well now you don't have to worry about that problem, with this mouse from Thermaltake. It's got a built-on USB fan, to evaporate that nasty palm-sweat away. [geekologie] BONUS: And for the winter time when your hands are freezing, try USB toast handwarmers [thinkgeek]

Let's say you're a bad guy in a video game. If the video game were real life, what would it look like from the bad guy's perspective as they try to kill the hero? [howtogeek]

MOAR ZOMBIES! So it looks as if there's a zombie theme park planning to be made in Detroit. [buzzfeed]

Ever wanted to go visit an actual Star Wars set? Well if you don't mind going to the middle of the desert, then YOU CAN! Turns out, when they were done filming, they left the Tatooine set standing, and now there's people there. [gammasquad]

"Roads? Where we're going, we don't need... roads." "But, Doc. We're just going to the prom." I present to you a DeLorean limousine. [geekologie]

As a kid, I played with my LEGO's and thought to myself, "Man I wish these things were life-size." Actually, I never thought that as a kid, but let me tell you, I sure do now. Low and behold, my dreams have come true! Sort-of! There are life-size LEGO trees and flowers in the Australian desert, to celebrate 50 years of LEGO in Australia. [geekosystem]

I'm only going to say one thing. Dubstep Robots. [geekosystem]

Have you ever wanted to make your own terminator head, but realized you weren't from the future, and didn't have the technology? Well, turns out, you can get all the stuff you need at the dollar store, in the present. [howtogeek]

I present to you, the 5 most absurdly expensive items in online gaming history. [cracked]

What is it with taking small toys and Rick Moranising them up to super-size? Wait.. that wasn't Rick Moranis. CRAP! MY JOKE HAS FAILED! CURSE YOU RICK MORANIS AND YOUR SHRINK RAY NOT BEING A GIANTSIZING RAY!! You know what, just forget the joke... Here's a hot wheels loopty-loop track, made for real cars. [geekologie]

What's it like to be one of Bowser's kids? This video gives you a peek at the Bowser family, and it's dis-functionality. All he wants to do is kidnap a princess. Is that so much to ask? IS IT?!? [howtogeek]

What's one of the best Final Fantasy games ever made? FFVII of course! If you never had a Playstation, then your sorry butt missed out. Until now. *DUN* *dun* *DUUUUUNNNN* Final Fantasy VII is coming to PC. Get your game on! (yes, that was a Yu-Gi-Oh! reference in a paragraph talking about Final Fantasy. Don't judge me.) [geekosystem]

Are you a fan of Angry Birds, or are you sick and tired of hearing about it? Either way, here's a game similar to Angry Birds, but with pirates. That right there is reason enough to give it a play. It's actually pretty fun, and I might go as far to say, that, in my opinion, I prefer it over Angry Birds. Here is Fort Blaster: Ahoy There. [howtogeek]
