Table-sized NES controller

Kyle Downes, an Australian and woodwork master, decided to go a little geeky with his latest project. Instead of making a boring, ordinary table, he decided to make a NES controller/coffee table/storage box. Believe it or not, the table-sized controller is functional as can be seen in the video below. This is certainly no amateur job.

Felt Weapons

Remember the NES and TV made from felt? Well, check out these weapons made from the same soft material. All of the “weapons” are designed by MP Industries and are all unique. No weapon will be sold twice. The collection includes: a 9mm Glock, katana, medieval flail, AK-47, grenade, sniper rifle, claymore mine, nun-chuck, and a revolver to name a few. My favorite is the pink looking P90, which looks bad ass!

Too bad the only damage these things will do is…well, nothing. =)

Got food crumbs all over your keyboard and desk? Check out this retro style mini USB vacuum cleaner. It looks just like a Hoover, minus the loud noise. This mini vacuum will suck your desk clean, removing those disgusting crumbs, dust, and dirt. It measures approximately 8″ tall and simply requires a free USB slot. You can even wrap the power cord (USB cord, in this case) around its hooks just like a real vacuum! Awesome.

Shopping…the cool way

If you thought grocery shopping was boring, watch the video below. Shopping for toilet paper and cereal never looked so fun. Apparently, the video is an advertisement for Max Havelaar, a non-profit foundation organization promoting Fairtrade. I wonder how many takes it took to film the video?

Now if you’ll excuse me, I have some grocery shopping to do…
