Remember last year’s release of Super Mario Converse special editions ? Well they’re back with another, this time in low-tops. Me? I like my tops muffin . Dropping next month for an undisclosed amount of gold coins, the Converse Japan One Star Super Mario Bros OX are the perfect shoes for doing a little princess saving. Ooooooor walking to the liquor store. They are NOT for kicking shit though. And neither are flip-flips (that’s how I got worms). Converse One Star Super Mario Bros. OX [highsnobiety] Thanks to Jacques, who claims he used to have a pair of Altered Beast Asics back in the day. Get the f*** out!

Dutch designer Jlan van der Wiel made these stools with magic by mixing iron filings with molten plastic and creating the legs by “pulling” them up using magnets. When the plastic hardens, BAM — you’ve got yourself a stool. “What the — I’m not milking cows , who the hell sits on a stool anymore?” Who sits on a stool anymore?!?! What the hell do you think I’m blogging from? “The toilet.” Haha, you have no idea how many articles I’ve written from here. “All of them?” Every single one. Hit the jump for a pictorial of the process.

This is a series of conceptual Evian water bottles designed by Mandy Brencys to look like both Star Wars characters AND lightsabers . Still, would you be willing to pay an extra $2 for a bottle of water that looks like a wookie-saber? Of course you would — look who I’m f***ing talking to. Evian Star Wars (on Marcy’s CargoCollective page) Thanks to PYY, who may or may yes be a water fairy. “Woodland.” She’s a woodland fairy.

This is a nearly funded Kickstarter for Ferrite Interactive Liquid Sculptures. They’re basically TMNT ooze canisters with a magnetic liquid ( ferrofluid ) suspended in another, clear liquid that you can manipulate to make cool shapes with external magnets . Contributing $100 gets you a mini one when (if) they’re manufactured next July, $150 a large one, and $200 scores one of each. You’ll have to watch the demonstration video after the jump though to fully appreciate them, just talking about them doesn’t really do them justice. But do you know who does do justice? My crime fighting alter-ego, Captain Handsome. Dashing, isn’t he? “That’s just you ducking behind a movie-theater cutout of that kid from Twilight .” It’s true. I used to have a Batman one but my roommate fought it and won. Hit the jump for the worthwhile video demo and a link to the Kickstarter page.

This is the $90 Click Keypad watch. It was made to look like the number pad of a computer keyboard and tells the time by blinking the corresponding numbers in order. Plus you can actually click the keys if you want to pretend like you’re hacking an ATM or something to impress a date. *mashing watch buttons* Just watch, any second this thing’s gonna start spitting out free money! “Nice try — I saw you enter your card and PIN number right when we walked up.” It says insufficient funds — spot me for dinner? Hit the jump for several more shots and a link to the product site.

This is the $34 Mario warp pipe coffee mug from Fangamer , the same company that brought us the Mega Man energy tank coffee mug . It makes a great stocking stuffer. Or, should I say, stocking clogger ? Get it? Because it’s a pipe and sometimes pipes get clogged if you flush too many paper towels and tampons. What? I’M BEING REAL. Plus one time I flushed a pair of underwear because I’d made a mistake in the back and was too embarrassed to have my girlfriend wash them. $140 later the plumber Roto-Rooted them out and showed them to her anyways. CURSE YOU, MARIO! Hit the jump for several more shots, including the mug as a (piranha) planter.

This is the music video for Hey Geronimo’s ‘Why Don’t We Do Something?’ (I dunno, maybe because we’re really f***ing high and the couch is comfortable!), featuring a bunch of iPhone games recreated in real life . It’s worth checking out. The games: Flight Control, Fruit Ninja, Plants Vs. Zombies, Angry Birds and Cut the Rope. Don’t worry though, the song’s okay, but it’s not the kind that’s gonna get stuck in your head for the rest of the day like Chocolate Rain or the TROLOLOLOL song. HAHA — have fun with those two, jerks! Hit the jump for the music bideo (bideo is the new video but I don’t know why it’s not catching on).

This is a series of minimalistic X-Men posters by artist Nicholas Hyde. These and a bunch of other geeky/pop-culture posters (you can see Harry Potter and LOTR after the jump) are available for sale over at Nicholas’ Etsy store if you’re interested. My love? My love is not for sale. My soul, yes, but you’ll have to bargain with the devil for that one. I traded it to him for the sexual prowess of a tiger! Which, fun fact: JUST AN OLD WIVES’ TALE. But did he tell me that? Noooooooo , he’s always gotta be the little f***ing bargain hunter. Up yours, Satin! (he hates it when you call him that) Hit the jump for his Harry Potter and Lord of the Rings posters and a link to the Etsy page.

This is a video of a pair of magic computer-viewing glasses made by removing the polarized film from an LCD computer monitor and applying it to a regular pair of spectacles . That way only you can see your monitor. Ooooooor get fired for staring at a blank screen eight hours a day. You don’t understand, boss, the screen isn’t actually blank — I was watching girls booty-dancing on Youtube. “That’s even worse.” What if I told you I was actually writing a blog on the clock? “As long as it’s not Geekologie.” *nervous laughter* Haha, that little-dick? No way man — I write celebrity gossip. Hit the jump for a short video of the glasses in action and a link to the Instructable to make your own.

This is a collage of Spiderman’s eye made from cut-out comic book pictures by French artist Mr Garcin. This? This is a picture of my eye made from torn up Playboys. “You sure? That…looks like a b-hole.” Haha, you got me . Psyche, I got you — you’re staring at my roommate’s exit-hole! Mr Garcin’s Website via Spider-Eye Collage [buzzfeed] Thanks to Tone, who once accidentally glued his head inside a library book and had to pay for it.
