Star Wars kicks: I see your Schwartz is as big as mine

January 15th, 2008

I present you with a dilemma. You’ve spent $300 on a pair of limited edition Adidas Superstar 1 Force Star Wars sneakers (available in Yoda white or Darth Vader black) that look otherwise unassuming until someone gets a glimpse of the logos on the upper heels. You want the world to know that you’ve purchase [...]

Porn industry turns its sexy back on HD DVD format

January 14th, 2008

The pornography industry, ever-delivering the deciding blow (pun intended) in video format wars, looks to be jumping mid-race from one pony to another.
See first the industry picked the HD DVD pony. Then that pony stumbled and has currently commenced its falling-down sequence, so Porn jumped onto the Blu-ray pony as it was passing the [...]

CES 2008 predictions: The end of the HD disc wars and a new era of HD audio and video

January 3rd, 2008

It’s mobile a TV and no, you can’t have it yet.
Prognosticating always gets you into trouble, but I’ve been keeping my eyes on announcements from CES and want to make a few basic predictions. While I can’t promise any of this will happen, I do know that these things have to happen in order to [...]

Antisocial networks for the Grinch in your life

December 24th, 2007

Spread some Christmas cheer today and tomorrow to all your online “friends.” Or, you can be a real, go-it-alone American and sign up for one of several new anti-social networks. It’s all the fun of real social networks like Facebook and MySpace, only with the faux, forced amity. Choose from the likes of Hatebookand Snubster [...]

Cut footage from Star Wars

December 18th, 2007

Maybe you’ve seen this and maybe you haven’t. I know the original trilogy (the new ones were even worse) was comprised of cheesy lines, but whoever that guy is that Luke is talking is like listening to nails on a chalkboard. Yikes.

Peter’s gift guide for the holidays

December 10th, 2007

We’re not too keen on gift guides here at CrunchGear and it’s probably more painful and tedious than writing up the latest Hello Kitty contraption. Alas, we don’t have much of a choice so here’s my gift guide where I’ll cover the be all and end all of gear bags, a variety of phones from [...]

Awesome model of wrecked AT-AT; read this entry with a faux aristocratic British accent for best effect

December 7th, 2007

In the great war between the Rebellion and the evil Empire, there were casualties on both sides that cannot be counted. Suffice it to say that each contender made a mark on the other, swapping lightsaber wounds for blaster scars, neither willing to admit defeat until the final moment when a penitent Darth Vader threw [...]

Top Ten Star Wars Tattoos Ever

December 6th, 2007

I love Star Wars more than just about everything, including the bad parts (most of EpI, duh). And I’m always a fan of Star Wars tattoos, though I lack any of my own. I mean, that Darth Vader helmet on your forearm looks cool now, but will haunt you when you run for congress, ya [...]

Active camo Spartan figurines available for pre-order

December 2nd, 2007

I’m not much of a figurine collector for the simple fact that I’m transported back in time to when I was six years old. This is where all the trouble begins because I ruined my brother’s pristine collection of original Star Wars action figures. He had everything and my dumbass went and scattered them across [...]

China wants to shoot down our GPS satellites, other spacecraft

November 30th, 2007

Ok, so beyond poisoning us with lead-filled children’s toys, China is getting ready to blow our GPS satellites out of space. China is claiming that space above its country is its property, and is prepared to say “stay off my lawn” with star wars toys it’s currently developing.
The only way that we, as the last [...]
