You Want, You Lose Fridays Part II

Check here for You Want, You Lose Fridays Part I as well as rules of this game.

Now down to business:

Is that...could it be...

Indeed, it is. A s'more keyboard? Yes it is. And its actually made of marshmallows, chocolate and graham crackers. Not so functional, but awesome? Yes. And if there was a keyboard out there like this, I bet it would be popular.

This great innovation is the iNto64 released by Bacteria is a one of a kind system that is currently being raffled off. It has all the functionality of the classic N64 system in a portable system you can play on the go. Forget Nintendo taking your favorite games and putting them into new systems, just convert your childhood into pure awesomeness.

This is the Sharky Tea Infuser. Designed by Pablo Matteoda, and viewable on this site, it is hopefully soon to be in production. Pablo mentioned on his blog that it should be sometime soon, so if you want one, keep checking back the the above mentioned site. As you can see, you put the tea in and let it float around your mug and the tea will become mixed in with your water. The fin is actually hollow and full of air and sealed watertight making it able to float.

Designed by Icelandic designer Kristin Birna Bjarnadottir, this is the Illuminant lamp. Once again this is a design piece that is not yet in production or for sale. The lamp is suspended by fishing line from the ceiling and the lampshade is made of reflective material. The light comes up from the floor and fills the whole room with several different glass plates that fit over the bulb, allowing for colors such as blue, clear, and red.

You might remember the video game Portal, the puzzle game where you shoot a beginning and ending portal to reach the end of levels. Well here are sweet bookends based on the game. Not available for purchase yet though.

Hope you liked this week's awesome things you want. I am sorry that they are all concepts and none are buyable...yet. Like I said, keep checking up on the ones you want but for now all you can do is drool over them while them tempt you from your computer screen. Enojy!

You Want, You Lose Fridays

This is a post about a popular internet game called You X, You Lose.

It is used with any pic related to the X, and if you agree with rule X you lose.

X can be a multitude of things such as:

-You Laugh, You Lose (do I really have to explain this one)

-You Nostalgia, You Lose (reminiscing about childhood things)

-You Rage, You Lose (relate to an annoying situation, you lose)

-You Want, You Lose (posting a desirable item and if you want it, you lose)

I have decided in the spirit of how awesome Friday is, it being the day that kicks off the weekend, Fridays will be a showcase of You Want, You Lose items. Hope you find them as desirable and jaw dropping as I do.

Note: Some of these, you can buy and I have a link. I am in no way affiliated with the products or the companies that make them. I am simply making your life easier if you would like to buy them.

These are called Fizz Savers and they basically work like keeping pop on tap.

Available for purchase here: Fizz Dispenser from Amazon

This is... pure genius. They are as you can see, balloons shaped like missiles to tail your car. To passerbys it looks like heat seeking missiles are chasing you down and are trying to seek and destroy. Pretty funny when you see their face, not so funny when the cops pull you over. In America at least it's illegal to dangle anything off your car (like balloon missiles)

To top things off I looked all over the internet but I just can't find anywhere to buy these. So while you can LOOK at how awesome they are as well as drool over them, you can't buy them.

We all remember the awesome the Pin Art thing we had as kids, you can put your handprint through it, make the pins look like a penis, even stab your eye out when you want to engrave your face in pin history, that is, until your buddy shakes it and all was lost. Well, this is a pin clock. Meaning its super bad ass, so bad ass that it is currently sold out on Amazon. It doens't have a backlight though so it's only good in the light. Also reviewers say it makes an audible click every minute, so it is definitely a novelty clock. But if you really want it keep trying back here:Pin Clock on Amazon Be warned though this clock will cost you a cool $70.

Ah chess, a great game I learned and played a lot while growing up but those days are over... WAIT holy shit.... chess with beer or shots depending your preference and how wasted you are willing to get. Now I can't find a particular seller for this set (guess you can make your own if you have enough glasses, each piece is a different type of glass) or if you don't like that idea you can go out and find whatever board suits you, there are plenty to choose from.

My last pic is called the Aspiral Clock. The premise behind this clock is that it turns every minute and the ball rolls along with gravity to tell the correct time. At 12 o'clock, the ball drops thru the center, back to the outside and starts its 12 hour journey all over again. Before you start drooling too hard over this image, just like the Pin Clock, they are sold out. Except for one... Visit their website here: Aspiral Clocks for more details but they have one clock left they are auctioning off in May, with the new edition coming out later this year. Their clocks sell for £350 which to Americans means a whopping $564.04 and I don't think that includes shipping. Their later model will probably be around the same price if you want to wait for it, but if you don't you can take your chances at the auction (I wouldn't)
