Superherofhype forum member Masterle247 went and made himself a War Machine costume in anticipation of the new Iron Man 2 movie . It’s super impressive . And it would be even more impressive if he hadn’t posed in front of Talbots at the mall. Don’t get me wrong, I’m sure all the moms shopping there were super tickled pink (read: horrified there’s a terrorist at the mall), I just would have posed in front of something a bit more serious. Like the Pretzel Palace or arcade. Or, if you could hold out a few months, with the Easter Bunny! Listen rabbit — you’ll tell me what you did with Jesus or I’ll blast your rodent brains all over this food court! Oooh, Orange Julius! Hit the jump for several more, including one of War Machine kicking back and drinking a Corona.

Geekologie Reader Brianna was kind enough to send me an online Christmas card this year. It’s her and her family in a classic three four wolf moon pose (imagine the magic!). Now, I don’t know if email stopped working or something, but I haven’t gotten your card yet. I mean, you DID send one, right? Oh. Well if anybody else wants to make geek-themed cards feel free to and send me a tip with the link (you have to host it yourself somewhere) and I’ll post them under the heading, “I Write All Year For You People And All I Got For Christmas Was Four Drawings Of A Stick-Figure GW Banging Various Dinos”. Which, God I’m getting misty eyed already. Just what I wanted. Thanks Brianna, and happy holidays to you and yours. (Pass the eggnog)

NOTE : Due to quality video editing, it takes a couple seconds for the picture to kick in. I’m pretty sure he’s just shooting model rocket engines, but whatever, this guy attached some button operated rocket launchers to the sides of his motorcycle . Why? I honestly don’t know. Probably not a good reason though. The first 0:45 are dude talking nonsense, the pew pews start after that with the best being at 1:00 when a rocket bounces off a wall and almost hits him. Now that would’ve been cool. As it stands, video is a 3.5/10 and I regret posting it. Youtube Thanks to d_mc, Jimmy and deadbodyman, who shoot RPG’s from their motorcycles because, well, they might be terrorists.

Howard Boys (that’s the guy’s name, not like the Hardy Boys) went and made himself a functional steampunk camera. This is it. It looks old and takes pictures . Just like your grandparents on vacation! Howard Boys took things old school with this camera that he created himself out of soldered brass. Howard purchased the lens and the shutter and built the rest. Nice, Howard — or should I call you Mr. Boys? Yeah, that’s pretty creepy, I’m gonna stick with Howard. Well, Howard, not to toot my own horn develop my own film or anything, but one time I made a camera out of a Quaker Oats canister . So, who’s the master photographer now? Just sayin’, I wasn’t arrested during that Victoria’s Secret catalog shoot for no reason. Steampunk Camera: Guy Builds Own Camera Body [uberreview]

Lovely (and skilled) Geekologie Reader AverageGeekGirl went and made a little set of Strongbad Christmas ornaments for the holidays . For those of you whose parents just signed up for high-speed internet today, that’s Trogdor (The Burninator), Strongbad and The Cheat. Now I don’t think they’re cookies , but I would definitely still nibble Trogdor anyways. Just look at that arm — so strong. Picture Thanks to AverageGeekGirl, who better keep an eye on Trogdor lest he burn down the tree. And no tree = no Christmas. Santa’s rules.

Kayla Kromer, the maker of the infamous Hamburger Bed , is back at it, this time with a sweet Millenium Falcon joint. Which, true story, I once used to make the Kessel run in less than eleven parsecs IN MY SLEEP. Suck it Han, I own you more than Jabba did! Hit the jump for several more shots and a link to the official Facebook page.

I have no idea if Star Trek is actually a religion but I say yes and from now on you will too or I will punch you so hard you bruise before I even make First Contact . See what I did there? I’m so wicked. Anyway, this is a Star Trek themed LED menorah. Sacrilegious or not? I actually don’t really know a whole lot about Judaism (despite dating a Jewish girl briefly in highschool), but I think it’s actually kosher to have a themed menorah. Get it, kosher ? I didn’t say I didn’t learn anything! Star Trek LED Menorah Design is Nine Times as Geeky [walyou]
