Cheetos Kind of Shaped Like Things For Sale
“You can buy anything on the internet” takes on a whole new meaning today when I recently discovered that people sell Cheetos, you know, the delicious snack, shapes liked things. Not only do they try to sell these Cheetos, but the prices are astronomical. This lovely idea was brought handed over to me by retrogamingdev. Also, I must say, that occasionally, the term “looks like” or “shaped like” is used very loosely in some cases. Saxophone? So, is this a saxophone? To me, I see almost more of a seahorse… or you know, just a freaking Cheeto. Yeah, that is really what I say. But you know what, this person…

Now with YouTube being the home to thousands upon thousands of artists (maybe millions?), a really weird music video will stand out. Today I cover just 5 from all eras of crazy music videos. 1. Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers – Don’t Come Around Here No More First, one from my childhood, is this bizarre take on Alice in Wonderland. Note, I said “bizarre take on Alice in Wonderland” as if Alice wasn’t already weird enough. Who knew Tom Petty had one of the crazy…

Wish.com Listings Are Wild
Recently, a shopping website has burst onto the scene in a big way. I am talking about Wish.com. They have a lot of generic or knockoff products for very low prices. I only know this because on my Facebook and Twitter, they keep showing me bizarre targeted ads. Since I can’t seem to make them disappear, I thought instead I would just show you my favorite weird ones. Tag Me? Okay, let us get this straight, if you are my friend, don’t tag me in a creepy sex doll. I don’t care what Wish.com tells you. However, I’ve been told that $30 is a steal for one of things. I…

Delusional eBay Video Game Listings
I love the hunt for good deals on video games on the internet. Many blame scalpers and the increased interest in retro games for there not being any more good deals. However, if you are savvy enough, you can still find a good deal. However, some of these sales listings online, especially on eBay, make me think “Well, this person is extremely optimistic.” I mean, what are they thinking? Here are some of the listings I couldn’t believe when I saw them. NBA Live 95 Sealed for 1K Pro: It is a 25 year old game.Pro: It is sealedCon: It is an annual sports game Con: It is also pretty…

Licensed Game Remasters I’d Like to See
Recently, we were surprised with the announcement that we are getting a re-release of the classic Disney video games, Aladdin and Lion King. It makes sense with the recent live action re-release though. I sat there and started to ponder a bit as to what games based on licensed properties should also get a remaster (e.g. comics, cartoons, TV shows). Here is a list I created with the help from the #PositivelyGeek community on Twitter. Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: The Konami Collection Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles games by Konami are some of the most fondly remembered collection of video games ever created. The first game I truly sat down, played,…

Actual Hulk Hogan Merchandise That Was Made
Say what you will about Hulk Hogan these days with some of the statements that have come to light (I’m no fan of them), but there is no denying the fact that at one time he was insanely popular. WWE (then WWF) knew it and created just about as much merchandise as humanly possible. So, let us take a look at actual merchandise that they expected people to buy brandishing the Hogan brand. The Hulk Hogan Light Switch You want the lights on, brother? Well, then no better than to grasp Hulk Hogan’s chiseled physique to turn it on (chiseled from steroids, that is). I also can’t help but wondering…

5 Awful Metal Album Covers
As some of you know, I am a huge metal head. I love the diversity of the genre whether Tarja is providing opera vocals for a symphony orchestra backed metal in Nightwish or Alissa White Gluz is providing some gutteral vocals on Arch Enemy. However, over the years, there has been a fair share of bad creative decisions in metal. In this case, we are going to look at some of the album covers. Back in the day, the album cover sold the record in some cases rather than just the name alone. So here are 5 truly awful metal album covers. 1. Split Beaver – When Hell Won’t Have…
