Ninja Star Coat Hook strikes a death blow to clutter

The path of the Ninja is a deadly one, my friends. It’s also relatively clean. They don’t like clutter. Very fastidious — almost like cats. So it should come as no surprise that all your Ninja friends probably use these Ninja Star Coat Hooks. → Read More

Video: Damien Walters flails about in Ninja-like wonderment

Yow. When I first saw the above video I was like, “Who the hell’s been following me around on the weekends and filming me?” Then I was like, “Oh, that’s not me. It’s a guy named Damien Walters. Also, I tend to sit quite still most weekends.” At any rate, this is Parkour meets Ninjitsu, meets advanced gymnastics (the kind used in fights between Ninjas and… → Read More

Pirates versus Ninjas mobile for baby's crib

While the Pirates versus Ninjas debate has been well-documented, in the interest of good parenting perhaps you should expose your baby to both sides of the argument and let an opinion form naturally. Luckily, there’s a Ninjas AND Pirates mobile that would be perfect to dazzle and delight your offspring as he or she drifts off to sleep. → Read More

An unbiased analysis of pirates versus ninjas

Today, December 5th, is the annual Day of the Ninja, according to Google (and ninjas everywhere). While I’m personally familiar with the concepts of both ninjas and pirates, I must admit that I’ve not been involved in the intriguing and hotly-contested Pirates versus Ninjas debate. I have equal respect for (and fear of) both, though. I’m also confident that people on either side of the… → Read More

Two Boston-area magicians involved in bar brawl, each sustains massive loss of hit points

Straight out of my neck of the woods here in the Boston area, the Cambridge Chronicle is reporting that two magicians “conjured up a bar brawl” this past weekend. Apparently one magician went into a bar (this sounds like a setup to a bad joke) and said to another magician, “Hey I know you from the magician store.” After that, all hell broke loose for some reason as the man from the… → Read More

CrunchArcade: Top Ten Video Game Ninjas

For as long as ninjas have existed, kids (and secretly adults) have been pretending to be them. I personally was a ninja for Halloween three years running. But because not all of us are sneaky and murderous, sometimes the only way to get that ninja feeling was to grab a controller and get shuriken-ing. Bear in mind this is not a list of the top ten ninja games, but a list of the killer ninjas… → Read More

Ninja Gaiden for DS shuriken make people excited

I’ll start off by half-apologizing for that headline but these Ninja Gaiden games don’t come out all that often so I gotta strike while the iron’s hot. Anyhoo, ‘Ninja Gaiden: Dragon Sword’ is out today and it’s gotten some pretty good reviews from the big gaming sites. The gameplay features a top-down isometric view of the action along with stylus-heavy combat a… → Read More

The Pirate Bay does that European thing to the IFPI where you flick your two front teeth with your thumb

The IFPI (basically the worldwide RIAA) must have been riding high when it got Denmark’s Tele2 ISP to block access to The Pirate Bay. However, according to the Pirate Bay blog, traffic is up about 12 percent in Denmark thanks to all the media hoopla surrounding the Tele2 fiasco. From the blog, So what has happened in Denmark now the past days? Actually, the number of visits from Denmark has… → Read More
