It doesn’t get much more real for skateboarders than these two Steiner Sports decks, hand signed by pro legend Tony Hawk and Bam Margera of CKY and MTV’s Jackass.

Spooky Daddy’s Eyeball of Doom is a bit too soft for world domination, but we do want one for our office; there’s nothing quite like 3′ wide, all-seeing eye to brighten up your day.

Move over, M. Bison: Street Fighter IV boss Seth is the Silver Surfer with a bad case of villainous exposition; however, we can’t help but think his reliance on magic is a bit of a cop-out.

Coming soon to Burnout: Paradise: called the Jansen 88 Special, we all know it’s just Doc Brown’s DeLorean; dual flame trails at 88mph and the fact that it flies are not-so-subtle hints.

It’s not quite as cool as playing Zelda with tesla coils, the Ocarina iPhone app is more portable and less likely to electrocute; you can even hear what others are playing around the world.

Despite his name, HPI’s G-Dog isn’t packing any attitude; made with aluminum and powered by nine servos, he can sit, beg, crawl and even roll over to its side using a Playstation-like joypad.

Surprisingly, this isn’t the first dino guitarist we’ve seen, but LBP continues to wow us with Heavy Metal Mullet, an ode to hair metal with a bone-crushing finale on a skull elevator.

Even mad scientists need a little booze every now and then: this Cocktail Chemistry Set includes your standard radioactive and biohazard test tubes, Erlenmeyer flask and a shaker.

This Sugar Rush trailer looks like something out of Adult Swim, but the actual gameplay for the MMO is a bit simpler (yet still zany). They’re now accepting beta sign ups on their forums.

Jett Vodka has California written all over it, which makes sense considering it’s available only in LA; it adds trendy guarana, ginseng and caffeine for a slight boost with your buzz.

GPG’s Demigod isn’t an easy game to define–an RTS version of Diablo? A DotA descendant? Either way, it looks pretty fantastic from the trailer above; expect it to arrive February 2009.

We’re big fans of eBoy’s pixel art so we’re pretty stoked with Pixorama, a 14-page full-color book with eight of his prints; it’s printed on thick cardboard stock with rounded corners.

Playing Zompocalypse isn’t braaaiiinn surgery; this simple side scrolling shooter has you fending often overwhelming hordes of zombies; it even supports Xbox 360 wireless controllers.

Repo! The Genetic Opera has all the makings of a cult classic: it’s a rock opera-musical with human organ repo-men, 64 songs and Paris Hilton; it hits select US theaters November 7.
