Indulge your bubble-wrap popping tendencies with Bandai's Mugen Puchi Puchi
Hands up who enjoys popping bubble-wrap? Oh hai, all of you? Thought so. The past-time which is only just eclipsed by folding tent rods up, and scraping burnt bits off toast over the sink has just been made into a little electronic gizmo, which lucky OCD-ridden Japanese can get from Bandai when it launches shortly.
Like a game of Russian Roulette, every 100 squeezes of the air bubbles produces a random noise like the sound of a fart, or a woman ‘moaning in ecstasy’. Fear not commuters, as if you simply must pop the electronic bubble-wrap on the train,..
Artificial Intelligence meets remote-control cars and lasers. Fun-and-a-half

Steampunk stormtroopers terrorise shopping centres in Dubai
Anyone else just wet their pants a little at the sight of that steampunk stormtrooper above? I bet if the Troopers in Star Wars were made steampunk style instead of their glossy Apple-esque white, the outcome in Return of the Jedi would’ve been entirely different…
Shiny Video Review: The Shocking Taser Guns
So, we thought we’d have a little fun. We put Zara in a room with Katie, armed them both and, well… just take a look. Not so much Alien vs Predator as a couple of squeaking squirrels…
Segatoys Dream Cat Smile now has – gulp – a video advertisement. Cue the vom-bags!
Remember that god-awful Segatoys Dream Cat Smile from a few months back, which caused possibly every Dreamcast-owning Sega fan to mourn the downfall of their adored Sega Empire, and join up for another year’s membership of the anti-Sony fanclub?…
The Digital Video Rocket – for your own Google Maps service
The Digital Video Rocket is a little home rocket, for amateur enthusiasts to fire off and, hopefully, avoid hospitalising themselves with severe burns.
The beauty of this potentially dangerous thing is its shock-resistant nose cone, which houses a little digital camera…
All geek demographics catered for with the Transformer Deluxe Death Star
