Nick’s Friday Round-Up

This goes out to all you hardcore gamers out there. You got an extra $300.00 laying around? Good. Then I present to you the Mad Catz S.T.R.I.K.E. 7 gaming keyboard. And here I thought my Razer Tarantula keyboard was pretty cool. [geekologie]

For those of you who are putting together a zombie themed room, or perhaps you just enjoy blood splatter, or maybe you're just a regular ol' homicidal maniac, and want to camouflage the real blood. Either way, you'll love this beautiful blood stain wallpaper. It's sure to match your drapes. [geekologie]

Once you get that gaming keyboard, why not drop another $300.00 on a brand new, top-of-the-line video card. That way you can actually play Crysis 3 in all it's extremely beautiful splendor. [gammasquad]

Going to the opposite end of the spectrum. You all remember QWOP, right? Personally, I wasn't able to take 2 steps in that game. Well the creator of said game has created another one, called CLOP. You move a unicorn across the hillside to get to the fair maiden. At first, it seems much easier to play, but just wait until you get to the incline. [geekosystem]

What do you get when you mix up a pot of Animaniacs and throw in a good dash of Skrillex? You get sheer awesome, that's what. [buzzfeed]

Here's a 7-foot LEGO replica of Firefly's Serenity ship. [geekologie]

Not cool enough for you? How about a life-size, functional Wall-E robot? [geekologie]

Here's something that might be of interest to Lisa. A stackable tetris desk lamp. [geekosystem]

Forget magnets, HOW THE CRAP DO MIRRORS WORK?!? And while we're at it, what color is a mirror anyway? Why are your eyes blue or green, or hazel? What color are their hands now? [howtogeek]

Anybody want a Batman toilet paper holder? [geekologie]

Here ya go. Have a few awesome facts about stuff you've seen at Toys R Us [mentalfloss]

What are the best multiplayer maps ever made? Let's find out, shall we? [dorkly]

I love the show, Grimm, and I was extremely excited when season 2 started this past Monday. Here are 11 secrets about Grimm season 2. WARNING: THAR BE SPOILERS AHEAD! [blastr]

Speaking of "spoilers", want to build your own little paper TARDIS? [howtogeek]

The 11th doctor has been around for a couple seasons now, and from the looks of it, he's going to be sticking around for a while longer. [blastr]

Nick’s Friday Round-Up: Random, “I DO WHAT I WANT” Edition

Watching The Lion King in 3D is cool, and seeing it in HD on blu-ray is neat, but there's nothing better than seeing it IRL.

Hello drones, Nick here. This week, Stuart didn't have time, or something, to put together a Friday Round-Up, so I took it upon myself to compile a short list of semi-compelling and sort-of interesting stories to end out your work week.

- Do you love bacon? Do dream about it? Are these dreams the kind of dreams you wouldn't dare tell anyone else? If so, then go get some help. If this isn't you, but you still really enjoy bacon without the awkward, disturbing dreams, then check out Van Gogh's Starry Night made completely out of bacon. [Instructables.com]

- Growing up, I was a big fan of Where's Waldo. I still own a book or two, although I'm not quite sure where they are, but I digress. Here's 12 cool facts that you may, or may not know about Waldo. [Buzzfeed.com]

- Star Wars geeks, go scrounge up your spare change, and by "spare change" I mean "$150.00". If you've ever wanted to wear a Wampa on your feet, then I point you to my advice earlier to the bacon dreamers. If you want to wear Wampa fur on your feet, then I guess that's not as bad, so go have a look at these shoes. [Geekosystem.com]

- HECK YEAH SCIENCE OF THE DAY! Everyday it amazes me the advances we  make in science. A girl who was born deaf, regains her hearing through a hearing implant. CAUTION: Watching this video may cause tear duct leakage. [Thedailywh.at]

- Have you ever been eating a cookie and wished you could eat cereal inside it? No? Oh... well maybe it's just me. Well what about ice cream, or berries or PEANUT BUTTER TOPPED WITH NUTELLA? OMG... BRB! Here is a simple idea, but seriously life-changing. Make your own cookie bowls. [Celebrationathomeblog.com]

-Last, but not least, I leave you with another picture. This is for Lisa, because I know how much she loves her some comic sans font. [SRS FONT IS SRS]
