Friday, August 2nd, 2013

Star Trek Into Darkness Starfleet Phaser Limited Edition Gift Set
Tuesday, July 30th, 2013
Star Trek Into Darkness is coming out for home release soon, and Amazon is offering an exclusive blu-ray set that comes with a replica starfleet phaser. Made using the same molds Quantum Mechanix used when creating the prop phasers for the movie, the replica phaser is made from solid polystone core enrobed in metal plating with several finishes — brushed aluminum, gun metal, and chrome. The replica is spring-loaded with an active locking mechanism that allows the phaser to be switched from stun to kill. Too bad they aren’t selling the replica separate.

Go Ape Treetop Adventure Course
Monday, July 29th, 2013Go Ape Treetop Adventure Courses are a chain of treetop obstacle courses where you’re secured to lines using a harness and pulley system, with a zip line at the end of every course. Running through the entire thing generally takes between 2-3 hours and there are splits in many of the courses with different obstacles for different skill levels. There’s also a junior course for the little guys. I went to the Freedom Park location in Williamsburg on Saturday and had a great time with the family. Plus, Go Ape contributes a portion of their proceeds and stewardship services to the parks they’re located in.

The Bounty Hunter Code: From The Files of Boba Fett is an in-universe manual that describes the aspects of being a bounty hunter in the Star Wars universe. Included with the deluxe edition is the 48-page memoirs of Cradossk, former head of the Bounty Hunters Guild, a Kamino saberdart, Boba’s own captain’s license and arms permit, Slave I’s official operating license, a Han Solo Imperial wanted poster, and an inventory slip from the Rebel Alliance forces who discovered and seized the property.

The Invisible Man Kit – Optics Planet
Friday, July 26th, 2013This seemingly tongue-in-cheek but completely real package from Optics Planet includes a wide variety of products, including thermal and night vision optics, scopes and red dot sights, tactical clothing and gear, and hunting scent cloaks. Technically, this kit is a bargain, with the sum total of the items exceeding the $20,000 price point, so if you’re in the market for everything available with the kit, this might be one of your better options.
ARMA 3 – Beta Trailer
Thursday, July 25th, 2013For the uninitiated, the ARMA series has always worked more towards being a combat simulator than an arcade-style shooter like the more recent Call of Duty titles and (to a lesser extent) Battlefield.
Lifesaver Jerrycans
Thursday, July 25th, 2013
The Lifesaver Jerrycan is capable of holding up to 18.5 liters of water at a time, and can produce up to 10,000 liters of water through the life of the device. The Jerrycan uses an activated carbon filter that reduces a broad spectrum of chemical residues and contaminates; a single filter lasts for 500 liters. Lifesaver’s own FAILSAFE technology deliberately increases the number of pumps required to induce water flow as the device reaches the end of its filtration capacity, and makes it impossible to flow water when the cartridge needs replacing. The Jerrycan also features a flow rate of 3 liters per minute and can be used with an optional shower attachment which plugs on and off in seconds. A 20,000 liter variant is also available.

Tuesday, July 23rd, 2013

The story is being written by Dusty McGowen, with Brian Lucey and Matt Lesniewski on art, and is being published by Blue Water Comics.
