Everyone is already crapping all over Pixels which premiere's this weekend. I guess it's the politically correct thing to do if you're a pop culture website. My opinion is still reserved in that I'm watching it mainly for the games and not for Sandler's performance. But if you are still one of those who'd rather play Pac-man than see the movie, check out WebPacman.com to play a flash version of the game in your browser.
I have a couple giveaways planned in the near future (Christmas Vacation in July!) but until then, enter the Visionairies Collector's Guide Contest over at Branded In The 80s! You'll need to play a fun little differences game and email admin Shawn before Aug 2 to enter. But if your a fan of the short-live '80s cartoon and toyline, it will be worth it to have a chance at this totally rad book!
Last week on the site, I showed you how to make a DeLorean Time Machine out of Pepsi cans. My favorite video this week is another #BTTFDIY courtesy Awe Me's DIY Prop Shop and brought to my attention via Gizmodo. Watch how you can use about $30 worth of material, some color sticker templates, and some power tools to make your very own hoverboard!I have a couple giveaways planned in the near future (Christmas Vacation in July!) but until then, enter the Visionairies Collector's Guide Contest over at Branded In The 80s!
