The Darth Vader fridge that you see above is the work of artist Tom Sachs. Your author approves of just about everything to do with the aforementioned refrigerator except for the artist’s choice of beer. If you want to make your own it doesn’t look too hard. It will just take a couple of bar fridges, a bit of painting and a spare Vader costume. Seriously though, Budweiser? I sort of pictured everyone’s favorite Sith [...]
The video that you see below is the work of one coccosnowball (YouTube) who went to the trouble of putting together this action-packed stop-motion animation of Casino Royale… in delicious black and white. It looks fantastic and the attention to detail is outstanding – but you can save yourself the trouble of me telling you how good it is by spending the three minutes it takes to watch it from start to finish.

![Primal Bells, Workout With a Chimp Head [Kettlebells]](http://www.uberreview.com/wp-content/themes/morning/functions/theme/thumb.php?src=http://www.uberreview.com/wp-content/uploads/chimp-primal-bell-kettlebells.jpg&w=300&h=150&zc=1&a=c)
Onnit Labs has released these delightful Primal Bells, which feature a chimpanzee head instead of a cannonball. They look awesome, but with kettlebells, looks are less important than functionality, so you will be pleased to know that they have been properly balanced and the surfaces are smooth enough that the chimp faces should not cause too much additional discomfort. On a side note, a bunch of people seem to be equating kettlebells with Cross Fit. [...]

The Warhammer 40K costume that you see above and in the gallery below is based on Grey Knights Justicar Terminator Captain Tancred. I’ve only ever dabbled in 40K, so I am probably not the best person to judge the accuracy of the costume build – but I can say this… It looks amazing. The suit, which was constructed from foam and assorted other parts, cost around $2,000 to construct. The folks behind it noted that [...]
The Smith and Wesson Tactical Fire Striker Pen is the first tactical pen that I have seen that comes with its very own fire striker. As a teacher, I am a huge fan of tactical pens – not because I fantasize about finding myself in situations where a heavy metal pen might save me from getting shot or stabbed (that would be ridiculous), but because a heavy metal pen makes a hell of a racket [...]
If you ride a bike, have a healthy amount of money in your bank account to which you are unattached and love to scare the bejeebus out of passing motorists – then you might want to take a look at this Predator helmet from NLO Moto. It’s built on an actual motorcycle helmet so it’s properly safety rated, but has been enhanced with a sculpted outer shell, a dreadlocks mullet, and even a tri-laser scope. [...]
![The Iron Coin of the Faceless Man [GOT]](http://www.uberreview.com/wp-content/themes/morning/functions/theme/thumb.php?src=http://www.uberreview.com/wp-content/uploads/1172_got_iron_coin_faceless_man.jpg&w=300&h=150&zc=1&a=c)
If you have a Game of Thrones fan in your life then The Iron Coin of the Faceless Man would be the perfect token of your appreciation. From Think Geek: A replica of the coin Jaqen H’ghar gives Arya Stark One side depicts a hooded, faceless figure The other side reads: “Valar Morghulis, Valar Dohaeris” Officially licensed by George R.R. Martin Blackened and paste-waxed finish when new, will become more beautiful and lustrous with handling [...]
The folks at Machinima put together this cute little first person party game concept video. It is a lot of fun, though I must say that the protagonists partying skills leave a little to be desired. For starters, his choice of a “Cosmo Spritzer” is objectionable. He puked far too early for my liking and gave up after his first encounter with the toilet… amateur hour to say the least.

UD replicas have been doing awesome superhero-themed motorcycle leathers for a while now, they are pricey but tend to look the part. Unfortunately, the the trouble with superhero leathers is that they don’t really give you a lot of gear hauling potential – a utility belt can only carry so much – and a regular motorcycle backpack would kill the impact of the leathers… which is what makes this Batman backpack such a good idea. [...]
Remember when life was simple? You’d go to school, come home, and play video games until your eyeballs fell out. Ahh, those were the days. And then there was Contra- one of greatest video games of all time. And nothing made Contra better than entering: up, up, down, down, left, right, left, right, B, A, select, start, which increased your lives 10 fold. What’s better than taking something so memorable from your childhood and turning into [...]
There’s only one thing I can think of worse than camping, and that is camping with no cell phone. If your smartphone is anything like my iPhone, using it for 15.5 seconds brings you from 100% to the red zone, which yields a great deal of anxiety. Heaven forbid you can’t play Ruggle or check out Kim Kardashian’s baby bump on Instagram! Now there’s the new Wenger Portable Solar Charger – a device you can [...]
