Marvel Fans get Custom Headphones

by Jay Garrett on March 12, 2010

Whether you’re a fan of Iron Man, The Hulk, The Punisher, Wolverine, or all of the X-Men The Marvel Coloud Headphones have something for you :)

It would be too simple to describe these headphones and their frequency sensitivity, db output and the like. So, instead why not read what Coloud says about their own cans:

“Coloud turns brands into sound. Our cords transfer visual life from any music player you choose to plug it into. We create function, value design and promote quality headphones that endure,enrich,and extend your lifelong music experience.”

Personally I’m doubting that you’d be buying these headphones for their audiophile reproduction – more for the fact that The Punisher logo looks cool or Wolverine is one of the bestest Marvel characters. EVER!

You can get them here: Bad Toy Store.

If that’s not enough – why not check out the huge range of comic hero based TV’s on offer here?

Japanese Man to Marry Nene Anegasaki – Who Happens to be an Anime Game Character

by Jay Garrett on November 26, 2009

nene-anegasakiAh…….. that feeling of finding your perfect partner.

You see them and suddenly you drift off into a different reality.

If you spend most of your time on the interweb you may even get romantically involved with someone’s avatar before you actually get to see each other for real….

….or perhaps you fall in love with a virtual girlfriend.

I mean – *really* in love to the point of marriage!

Konami’s Love Plus has apparently made a Japanese man, SAL900 (not his real name by-the-way), fall so deeply in love with his virtual girlfriend that he is planning to legally marry her.

The man flew to Guam to marry the girlfriend, Nene Anegasaki.

I wonder if a virtual wife is still entitled to half the house, car, and music collection?

Here’s a video of the event:
