Nick’s Friday Round-Up

Hey there! For the 3 of you that read my round-up's, I'm sorry I wasn't able to post one last week, but I'm back with links galore! So let's hit the "Cray" button!

For those of you living under a rock, there was this one thing that happened with a dude skydiving from 24 miles up. For those who missed it, here's a recreation of the event with LEGO'S. [geekologie]

MOAR LEGOS, Ninja Turtle style! (not to be confused with gangnam style) [geekologie]

There was also a couple hardcore LEGO builders who built the Batcave. [howtogeek]

A flippin' amazeballs Batmobile concept car! [geekologie]

Time for food! More specifically, cookies. More specifically, things you can stuff inside cookies! []

One of my favorite things from this time of year is pumpkin. Pumpkin ANYTHING! Here are 19 of the best ways to eat pumpkin for breakfast. []

Tired of always burning the crap out of your mouth because you're too impatient to wait for your pizza to cool off before you take a bite? Well now, feel free to bite into your scalding hot pizza without fear. You can pop a "breath strip" that heals the burns from eating hot foods. [geekologie]

A real working Portal gun? Sadly, no. But a modded one that can levitate a companion cube exists! [howtogeek]

Let's all kick back, grab some popcorn, and watch 15 minutes of a documentary about the making of Star Wars: The Empire Strikes Back. [gammasquad]

Here's something else you all need to watch. A marching band tribute to video games. IT HAS TETRIS! This is a "must watch". [geekologie]

World of Warcraft recreated in Minecraft in 1:1 scale [geekosystem]

A very well made Super Mario Bros. mod for Skyrim [geekologie]

Another hoodie to add to your geek collection. A Mario Bros. Tanooki hoodie. [geekosystem]

THE MOST AMAZING CAR CHASE YOU'VE EVER SEEN! Because it's shot using RC vehicles, and made to look like a scene from a movie. [geekosystem]

If you haven't played Dishonored yet, then you're seriously missing out. Maybe these 5 reasons you NEED to play Dishonored will get you throwing your money at this game. [gammasquad]

Now here's 5 things you'll learn about yourself while playing Dishonored. [cracked]

Nick’s Friday Round-Up: Not Geeky Enough? Try This! Edition

Do you love chess, but find it not geeky enough for you? Try the new Jedi LEGO chess set! [geekologie]

Are you a musician, but find your instrument less than geeky? Try this Guitar2-D2. [geekologie]

Do you enjoy eating Chinese food, but find the geekiness a bit lacking? Try these lightsaber chopsticks. [geekologie]

Do you enjoy showing off your sweet kicks, but find them to be -3 in geekiness? Try these amazing, geeky hand-painted sneakers. [gammasquad]

Do you really love roller coasters, and tend to cry every time you have to leave the theme park and go home, because you won't be able to ride it anymore? Why not build one in your backyard? [gammasquad]

Do you have a wheelchair, but find that it just blends in with all the others? Trade that thing in for a full-functioning one made completely out of LEGO's. [geekologie]

Everybody wants to own their own ski-ball machine. Don't even front. You know it's true, but now you can be the coolest kid on the block by making your own ski-ball machine out of K'nex. [geekosystem]

Do you have a home theater system, but find it dull and drab with sub-par geekiness? Spruce it up with a Batcave makeover! [gammasquad]

Are your motorcycle leathers not giving you that boost of geekiness you really want? Then swap them out with these Batman motorcycle leathers. [geekologie]

What would it actually cost to be Batman? [howtogeek]

Speaking of which, what would it actually cost to be Iron Man? [howtogeek]

Well guess who finally came to their senses and decided to make Star Wars the Old Republic, free to play, starting this Fall. [geeekosystem]

PC gaming has come a long way since Zork. Let's take a look at how it's evolved over the years. [geekosystem]

Did you happen to miss SDCC this year? Yeah, me too. Which means you missed the 10th anniversary panel of Firefly. BUT FEAR NOT! You can watch the entire panel, right here. [geekosystem]

Do you ever get the urge to play games such as Maniac Mansion or Kings Quest, but find it quite difficult to find a good emulater? Well guess what.... Just load up ScummVM, and you're on your way to some awesome, nostalgic, point and click adventuring! [howtogeek]

If you haven't seen it spammed all over Twitter and Facebook, and you've been living under a rock, or perhaps you're just a hermit in the middle of nowhere, raised by a pack of monkeys, and somehow you've come across a computer and wi-fi connection, then you got extremely lucky. Here is the official trailer for the new season of Doctor Who. [geekosystem]
