It’s Thursday. Galaga is one of those games that instantly takes you back to a time when gaming was all reflexes, pattern recognition, and a pocket full of quarters. Simple but brutally addictive, it rewarded players who memorized enemy formations and mastered that perfectly timed shot. Galaga represents an era when games didn’t need sprawling worlds or cinematic cutscenes to be unforgettable—just tight controls, memorable sounds, and gameplay that kept you feeding quarters into the machine. Even today, retro gaming fans still fire it up for that same rush, proving that great game design never really ages.

Retro gaming is very much alive thanks to the Fizz Creations Galaga plug-and-play console. Just pop the included HDMI dongle into your TV, pair up the wireless joystick, and you’re instantly blasting waves of aliens—no setup headaches or menus to fight through. Fizz Creations nails the authentic arcade feel with classic visuals, original sound effects, and gameplay tuned to match the vintage Namco release. Check out today’s featured video for a closer look, or head over to Amazon to see the Galaga listing.

It’s Tuesday. Imagine walking into a downpour and, instead of fumbling with an umbrella, it simply lifts off and takes care of business on its own. A drone-powered umbrella that hovers above you, follows your movements, and keeps you dry sounds ridiculously cool—no hands required, no fighting the wind, no inside-out disasters. It’s basically a personal weather shield, turning a miserable rainy walk into something that feels ripped right out of the future.

And it’s not just a wild idea. John from the YouTube channel I Build Stuff actually made it happen, creating the world’s first fully autonomous, hands-free umbrella. Even better? The entire project is 100 percent open source on GitHub, so if you’re feeling ambitious, you can build one yourself.
