Emotionally Damaged Teens Save Your Data
If you’re tired of the millions upon millions of figures of Evangelion‘s Rei and Asuka in improbable outfits (ninja, soldiers, mermaids, wrestling bakers, hat-making archers, etc.) that Japan cranks out every three days, then feast your eyes on this?the Evangelion EVA Unit Entry Plug USB Drive. A clunky name, but it’s a genuinely useful piece of Eva merchandise, and those are hard to come by nowadays. Choose from Rei (Unit-00) or Shinji (Unit-01); sure, they’re only 2 gigs, but that’s only because Shinji and Rei are too self-centered to accept more outside data than that. (Via Gizmodo)

Under his tenure Topless Robot was covered by Gawker, Wired, Defamer, New York magazine, ABC News, and others, and his articles have been praised by Roger Ebert, Avengers actor Clark Gregg, comedian and The Daily Show correspondent John Hodgman, the stars of Mystery Science Theater 3000 and Rifftrax, and others.
