Chatman the talking USB emoticon (distantly related to Pac-Man) is a cute little guy that likes to throw in his two cents about conversations you might be having on any one of the major IM platforms. His eyes, ears, arms and mouth also animate while he speaks.
Remember ThunderCats? Loved ‘em. Had all the action figures. That is until I developed a bad association with the show. For the better part of four years it came on right before I had to leave for Taekwondo class. I hated Takewondo class. When I heard that dumbass theme song, I knew the end was near.
Still, that doesn’t mean that this handmade Lion-O plush isn’t certifiably badass. I don’t know if its worth $20o mind you, but it’s badass nonetheless.
I’m not really about cases and skins on my stuff, but I think I will make an exception for these Frank Miller GelaSkins. Pulled directly from the pages of Sin City and 300, these would be just the thing to cover up all the scratches and dents you’ve managed to inflict on your phone and laptop.

Things are not always what they seem. Sometimes, bananas are Bluetooth headsets and Pac-Man is a bookshelf. The world is definitely a mysterious place. Take a look at these 12 products to see what I mean.
As the product page illustrates, the Instant Beach Ball is the cure for everything. It’s that awesome.

These heat changing arcade mugs could be a lot like you in the morning: blank, dull, inanimate objects. However, fill them with coffee and they bring Space Invaders and Pac Man screens to life with ghosts, aliens and lines of Pac Man breakfast dots. You can watch a short clip with a $1 budget after the break.
Alen Yen has completed the first sofubi of Nekosaur which is in limited production, and supplies are already waning. So if you want to get 6″ of retro robot toy nostalgia complete with paper guts, you’d better act fast!
You’d think that balls like this would have no problem finding a hole, but teeing up with these “Tail of the Tiger” golf balls won’t ensure that you’ll be able to play like Tiger Woods on or off the links.

Cats—they probably don’t give a damn about you until it’s time for Fancy Feast, but you still go and buy a coffee table with an integrated cat hammock. They really have quite a racket going.
