Jul 28, 2012 4:00 PM   It took most of us well past the Game Boy's lifespan to finally get that amazingly addictive Tetris theme out of our heads. But if you miss it, you can re-kindle it—and all the frustrations you had with stacking tetrominoes—with this Tetris digital alarm clock. But don't worry, this isn't one of those annoying alarm clocks that forces you to complete a skill-testing puzzle before it shuts up. Instead, it's just a fancy digital clock that cleverly incorporates several Tetris elements—like tetromino-shaped buttons, the game's well-known repetitive soundtrack as the alarm sound, and an LCD display where the digits are assembled from falling pieces as the time changes. For nostalgia's sake it's totally worth the $40 asking price, and the fact that you can't actually use it to play Tetris is a good thing because no one wants to start their day completely frustrated.

Jul 21, 2012 1:00 PM   An annoying electronic beep or the awful pop music played by your local radio station might help you roll out of bed in the morning. But if you really want to spring from your slumber, the roar of a Wookiee alarm clock and the fear of having your arms torn off could be even more effective. These officially licensed Star Wars alarm clocks also come in C-3PO and Stormtrooper varieties, but who wouldn't want to be woken by a Wookiee every morning? And if that's not enough, the Chewbacca version comes with fantastic matching furry covers for the faux bells on top. For just over $30, it's the perfect bedside accessory for that awesome Chewbacca hoodie you curl up in every night.
