My wife is the best wife a geek could possibly have! Last year for my birthday I got a X-Arcade’s Two Player Arcade Joystick, she went and walked around CES this year with me AND FINALLY, this year for my birthday she gave me the Lego’s Death Star II Set!

This massive set (set number 10143 for you Lego geeks) comes with the first spiral bound manual I have seen in Lego sets! The scarier part than the spiral bound manual is that Lego has compressed the directions down to 34 steps. This monster Lego set is 25 inches tall and 19 inches wide yet only 34 steps… help!

eDimensional makes some great PC gaming products and this is the third accessory we have featured as Gizmo of the Day. eDimensional likes making PC simulation games more realistic by increasing the gamers situational awareness in the game.

The AudioFX Gaming Headset with Mic is a high quality full-ear unit with a microphone certified for superior voice recognition and noise cancellation as well as bass-boosting force feedback built right into the headset giving you a completely immersive experience.

In fact, the Headset lets you “cheat” in a completely legal way! While playing games such as Counter-Strike for example, gamers have the ability to track people through walls and objects via legitimate means. The Audio FX’s bass amplifier interprets frequences lower than 20Hz and transforms into vibrations that can be felt where other gamers will not notice these frequencies!

I love this thing. If you’re one of the many people that find it difficult to hang up on telemarketers or other long-winded friends and family, here’s your savior – the Get Off the Phone Excuses Machine. At just about $10, you get 6 different sounds/noises at the touch of a button. For example, one is “Static”. You can play that, and tell the other party that “they’re breaking up.” As the 2 English guys say in that Guinness commercial – Brilliant!
