The Next New Star Wars Apparel


So there is a clothing company out there called Mad Engine, that makes all kinds of really cool shirts, sweatshirts etc.... There latest venture which wont be released until at least October is the full faced Star Wars Hoodie. Thats right folks now you can get a hoodie that will make you look like some of you favorite Star Wars characters. Right now list includes: R2-D2, a Stormtrooper, Darth Vader, Chewie, and Boba Fett.  The face is made of mesh so you can still breathe and see.  The only downfall to these sweatshirts is that the Chewie hoodie has no face, its just blank mesh. The price of these hoodies are estimated to be between $59.99 to $70 depending on what website you look at. The best site I've found for information and pricing has been http://www.entertainmentearth.com/prodinfo.asp?number=MEB0154MZ+SMALL#desc. So for all you die hard Star Wars fans be sure to keep a look out for these awesome new hoodies to be released, and just in time for Halloween.

Totally Awesome Guitar

I think just about everyone the name Gibson Guitars.  They are iconic and seen throughout the history of rock and roll.  Just when you think Gibson couldn't push the standards for modern guitars, they pulled a fast one on all of us and released the Gibson Firebird X.  This guitar is everything you would expect from Gibson with some added modern flare.  Gibson is in the process of setting up an app-store for the guitar so the apps can be used with the guitars built-in interface. Sweet right but it only gets better.  This Guitar also has its own on-board effects, robo tuners, Bluetooth technology and a whole lot more. It also comes with what can only be described as case full of goodies, containing two pedals, its own software, cables, cords, extra parts, batteries and straps, as well as access to online professional editing software. Cool I know but for the price you pay for this guitar at $5570 it had better come with a bunch of extra cool goodies.  Who knows maybe before long we will see all of our favorite guitar players using these and thus taking out the poor sound quality factor that can sometimes come from equipment problems at live concerts. I mean there is only so much a roadie can do.

Real Life Lightsabers For Real?

So a couple of weeks ago I was surfing the web checking out all the new gadets and gizmos that had come on the market. When I stumbled across an article on engadet.com http://www.engadget.com/2011/09/05/wicked-lasers-s3-krypton-laser-is-bright-enough-to-blind-astron/. So nautrally after reading this I wanted to know more and read more several other articles and watched a few youtube videos. And in one of these videos they show that the blue laser is hot enough to light a ciggarette. Seriously, a freaking ciggarette, there is no way these things can be legal. They are a weapon, well upon finding the companies website http://www.wickedlasers.com/lasers/lasersaber.html  and looking around there sure enough these things are in fact legal, and can be purchased for a high price. The green lightsaber will run you $549.85 and the blue lightsaber will run you $449.85. But all in all this was a pretty cool find.
