Valentine’s Day is around the corner and you could get things rolling with some heartfelt and thoughtful, or you could take the cheesy route. These little cards are rather good, especially if your Valentine has an interest in Pokemon. If all else fails, remember it might be a cliche, but you could still give I choose you a try.

Action Figure Set Presents Star Wars Characters as Samurai
This superbly detailed line by Bandai puts Star Wars characters in a rather fitting style of Samurais. It’s quite an intelligently created set, which does an excellent job at transforming our favorite characters into Samurai, but doesn’t go overboard.
Do yourself a favor and get the Captain America shield backpack
You can’t help being impressed by this Captain America backpack. One would generally go in expecting a crappy and sad excuse of the Captain’s shield. It’s time for a pleasant surprise, because this one seems to be done really well. We’d say it’s totally worth the $60 price.
The wars that inspired Game of Thrones
From the video:
Beginning around 1377, medieval England was shaken by a power struggle between two noble families, which spanned generations and involved a massive cast of characters, complex motives and shifting loyalties.

Star Wars: The Force Awakens [teaser trailer]
Well, there you have it. The first official teaser trailer for Star Wars: The Force Awakens. The movie will be in theaters on December 18 next year. I can hardly wait!
Weeping Angel Mask
The weeping angels are the scariest of Doctor Who antagonists. There are Daleks and Cybermen, but they can hardly compare with the sheer terror of being taken out in the blink of an eye. I’d say Blink ranks pretty close to the best episodes of the new Doctor Who series. That, and The Empty Child. …
