Wrist Computer Very Useful in Your Real Life Wastelands

Owen Good — Sat, 14 Mar 2009 21:00:00 +0000

Your real-life Pip Boys now come in two flavours – visually accurate, with few functions; or fully-featured with a different design.

You can actually purchase this sucker, which weighs in at more than a pound and measures 4.5 by 3.5 by 3 inches (a whopper, in other words). But the Zypad WR1100 does include a GPS receiver, electronic compass, biometric fingerprint sensors, and a position detector that switches the thing off automatically whenever your arm hangs down by your side.

It does not, however, pick up Galaxy News or Enclave Radio. So while the Zypad may not be good for your cosplay outing, in case of actual nuclear holocaust, it will help you navigate the wastelands. Provided the GPS satellites are still in orbit and functioning.

Check Out My Sweet Pip-Boy Watch

OK, this Pip-Boy Digital Clock probably isn’t meant to be worn on the wrist. Sure I can slip my girlish wrists through the plastic and walk around like it was meant to be worn, but the thing keeps sliding around. Good thing too, because if I had manly Fahey wrists and the thing did fit properly I’d totally make this my new watch.

The digital clock, which just arrived on my doorstep, is part of Bethesday Softworks fabulous Fallout 3 Survival Edition box set which also includes an art book, a making of DVD, a bobble head and a metal lunch box. Oh, also the game, it includes the game.

Hit the jump for some close ups of this must have special edition.

Fallout 3 Vault Boy Puppets!!!

Trumpcard’s Two Cents says they’ve found a promotional company that appears to be gearing up to start producing Vault Boy puppets. Perhaps these cute Fallout 3 guys are an offshoot of Penny Arcade’s Vault 77 comic. Either way, I just want me a Vault Boy to yell at.
