Death Star Plans Set To Very Hard – SWFOTF

I was running short on time this weekend due to a minor problem. Unfortunately, my PlayStation 3 seems to be on its last leg and probably won’t work much longer, at least with any games. I ended up spending the day transferring the files from my old PlayStation 3 to my new one, with the help of my brother, so I went with an easy one this week. The first page of the week I posted was about the Death Star Exhaust Shaft being far more complicated in the activity than in the movie and now I know why. Check out this Death Star plans maze. Basically, you don’t even hit the middle of the maze and successful completion of the maze has you going “in one ear and out the other” so to speak. It’s no wonder the Death Star Exhaust shaft was interpreted the way it was by the rebel intelligence guys. I doubt Luke would have stopped the Death Star there under these conditions, but if he did, Darth Vader would have the unfortunate task of telling the...

Find Your Way To A Galaxy Far Far Away – SWFOTF

Here is this week’s Star Wars Friends of the Force Page of the Week entry. Yeah, it’s another maze, but they are the funniest because they are so unrealistic for what they are trying to portray. If you ever wanted to know how to get to the Star Wars galaxy, here it is in all its glory. This would probably make a really funny Flash game like the Labyrinth Flash Game Challenger, but then again, most of these mazes would. I got a lot of comments that the Labyrinth Flash Game Challenger was tough so I think this one would be even worse. If you haven’t played it yet, you can play it here. It wasn’t a great one this week, still kind of funny, but I had a busy week and was low on...

Weirdo Toys Website

One of the big reasons I started this website was to find and show the most interesting, funny or stupid cheap toys you might see at dollar and discount stores. I have found some really good bootleg toys, some of which were good enough(or bad enough) to be included in Cracked.com’s article “The 15 Most Unintentionally Hilarious Bootleg Toys“(#6 and #3). Thanks for finding them Cole Gamble. Unfortunately, I haven’t found as many good ones as I had hoped and other responsibilities have kept me from posting on a regular basis the past couple years. This is something I am hoping to rectify now that I’m not that busy and I have some pretty good funny toys in the post cue, but if you want to see a bunch of weird toys, go to the Weirdo Toys website. The website owner and author is Justin Gammon and the site is just post after post of really weird toys. Some of the weird toys I sort of recognize due to some resemblance of characters I know are He-Man, Transformers, Batman, Robin and a combination Superman/Batman/Spiderman toy that is just like the City Nimrods and the Super Hero Batman action figures I posted earlier and he even has the stupid chest light. His website also has a video section to show off some of the weird toys and he has an auction section where you can buy some of the weird toys he is selling to have your own weird toy to call your own. I don’t really sell anything because with the cheap dollar store toys, anything more than a dollar would be too much, although it would be interesting to see if I could get more than a dollar for some of them. Anyway, check out weirdotoys.com, if you haven’t already, for a really good laugh at some of the hilarious toys Justin has found and posted. Good...

Astromech Droids On A Borg Cube – SWFOTF

This maze is probably supposed to be from Star Wars: The Phantom Menace when Obi-Wan Kenobi and Qui-Gon Jinn were getting Queen Amidala off Naboo. They were being attacked and sent the astromech droids to fix stuff. The introduction mentions that it’s good to have some astromech droids on your ship in case you get lost and you are supposed to use the droids to get through the complex maze. Well, compared to the other mazes this one is quite complex, but mentioning having them on board the ship implies the maze is the layout of the ship. But this layout looks somewhat familiar to me, perhaps not something that might seem familiar to a Star Wars fan who doesn’t like Star Trek. It seems to me the maze looks a lot like a Borg Cube from Star Trek. The maze could apply to looking at any of the six sides of the Borg Cube and it’s just as complex. That isn’t a Naboo ship you’re navigating through. I wonder how an astromech droid would do against a Borg drone. R2-D2 and C3PO didn’t do too well against the Cylons from the old timey Battlestar Galactica series. Then again, R2 can seem to hack...

Monopoly Adds New Piece While Retiring Another

Hasbro has announced the winner of an Internet poll which decided the new game piece that was going to be added to the Monopoly games. The new token is going to be a cat token and it will be replacing the iron. I think the iron was one of the pieces no one ever really took unless they absolutely had to. The cat token beat out the other contenders the robot, ring, helicopter and guitar. A ring would have been kind of lame no matter what type of ring it was. The guitar might have been cool but Guitar Hero seems to have lost its novelty and people were probably sick of it anyway. The helicopter could have been cool to but I think the piece would have been too complex. The robot was quite popular, but seeing as how it was an internet poll, that shouldn’t be all too surprising since robots are popular on the Internet. The problem is, so are cats. You have LOLcats and constant postings of videos with cats doing funny things and I think they are enjoyed by more people than the ones liking robots. Everyone can enjoy cat videos whereas not everyone enjoys robots. Since Hasbro took to the Internet to decide their next token and are going with a cat, they should model the new token after the most popular cat video/picture on the Internet. It seems fitting. What do you think of the new token being a...
