If you remember the film The Rocketeer, there’s a good chance that you wanted a Cirrus X3 Rocket pack. Unfortunately, a working model isn’t availalble (yet), but Steve Radtke of Valor Design made one that could almost convince someone that it could take off. From the pictures, it looks flawless — via MAKE

My Little Xenomorph
. Now on eBay (just search for it under Templesmith original art). Dig it so much I might do a couple artist proofs for 78SQUID after I tweak it a little. Love doing the oddball sketchcovers every now & then — via templesmith

Kids can often seem to have inexhaustible reserves of energy especially in the eyes of an adult. And Scootaloo is simply bursting with pep when it comes to lending a hoof to Rainbow Dash even if it’s just to take out the trash. I just wish I had a little helper to get these automata done sooner!
Scootaloo and the stand are carved out of Philippine mahogany while the gears are made out of narra hardwood. She’s hand painted in enamel and protected with flat lacquer. Scootaloo stands at 3 1/2″ while the entire piece measures 5 3/4″ high, 2 1/2″ wide, and 4 3/4″ long. Everything took 71 1/2 hours to make — via Youtube
This lovely villa is up for sale in Kalmar, Sweden, and from the outside, it looks pretty normal. That is until you start noticing the Predator masks adorning the walls, before coming to the giant Predator statue, right next to the door that leads into an Home Theatre seen in the header image above, designed to look like a Predator Spaceship — via Kinja
This is the real original Batmobile. Built in 1963 in a barn, it’s a ’56 Oldsmobile 88 with a body fashioned after the 1950s comic book Batmobiles. It’s the very first car DC Comics ever licensed, and it’s for sale, hitting the auction block with Heritage Auctions in December — via Supercompressor

The Internet Archive has long been one of the coolest sites on the web, thanks to its incredible collection of long-forgotten web pages and public domain films. They added home console games to the mix with the Console Living Room late last year, and now they’ve unveiled The Internet Arcade — a browser-friendly collection of classic arcade games that will blow your mind.
The list of games includes well-known titles like Frogger, Amidar, Joust, Lode Runner, Rally-X and Zaxxon along with hundreds of lesser known games — many of which had slipped my mind. Because the emulations use the original game ROMs, you’ll have to sit through a few seconds of power-up self tests and deal with odd control arrangements on a few titles. Thankfully, the Internet Archivists have created a page of games that should run at full speed on most hardware — via Retro Thing
