The latest ‘Fortnite’ weapon lets you drop heavy stuff on opponents’ heads

Posted on by
Epic has another way to battle Fortnite's hated newcomer, giant mechs. Sure, the two-player B.R.U.T.E. mechs have 1,000 health, can travel hundreds of in-game meters in a few seconds and can blast you with rockets or stomp on you. But now, regular pl...

Harry Potter Wearable Throw Blankets: Snuggies Aren’t Just for Muggles

Posted on by

The best trick that a wizard can do is to be comfortable. These officially-licensed Hogwarts wearable throw blankets require no magic at all. Just money. If you’ve already consulted the sorting hat and know which house you belong to, just pick yours, and get cozy for the night.

These fleece throws feature big sleeves and printed graphics of a large house crest sewn to the throw as well as a striped tie and v-neck collar. You’ll be looking good and feeling as comfy as J.K. Rowling in a pile of money. These are perfect for when you want to watch a Harry Potter movie marathon or walk around the house while pretending that it’s Hogwarts. You can even run around the house pretending to play Quidditch – at least until you break some stuff and your wife yells at you. I say stay snug as a snitch and forget the horseplay.

These snuggie-style throw blankets available from Fun.com for just $20 each. They only come in one size, adult standard (48″ x 71″), because clearly there are more adult wizards in need of being warm and comfortable. Also, kids have a harder time conjuring up money. Fans of Newt Scamander will be pleased to know there’s a comfy throw for you too.

As the Starks used to say “Winter is Coming!” so you’d better start thinking about how you’re going to keep warm when Fall is over. You could freeze your bippy off, or you could cover it up with a ghost from Pac-Man.

These handmade crocheted blankets from AtomicBits are just the thing to give you a little added warmth as you cozy up on the couch in front of your shiny new PS4 or XBone this holiday season.

At a little over 2-feet-square, they’re actually a better size for a baby blanket, but you get the point. They still will look cool thrown on your bed or couch. Each one is made from anti-allergic Acrylic/Wool thread, and is perfect for any retro gaming fanatic. They’re currently available in red (Blinky) and orange (Clyde) versions, though I’m sure you could convince AtomicBits to make you an Inky, Pinky or blue ghost if you ask nicely.

BigDog four-legged robot adds an arm, throws for the scouts (video)

BigDog fourlegged robot adds an arm, shows it off for the scouts video

Of all the robots we fear will one day rise up and subjugate humanity to an unyielding reign of terror, none is closer to our hearts than Boston Dynamic's awesome -- and terrifying, as seen in its 2008 video -- BigDog. This Army Research Laboratory-funded project that aims to navigate uneven terrain for up to 24 hours while carrying hundreds of pounds of equipment is showing off an all-new ability: throwing. In a tryout video (embedded after the break) that comes just a little too late for the NFL Combine, Boston Dynamics demonstrates how BigDog uses its arm to not only pick up an unsuspecting cinder block, but coordinate the strength of the legs and torso to step into a toss. The robot isn't throwing 100mph heat just yet, but after previously displaying its horns, even this short teaser is adding a fresh twist to our nightmares.
