We’ve added yet another fabulous item to our gadget website, and this time it’s the Ultimate Beer Pong Set. It’s pretty much exactly what it sounds like – if you want to play beer pong, this handy kit contains pretty much everything you’ll need! That means two balls, two beer pong pitches, and no less than fourteen cups to hold the beer and, if your aim’s any good, those ping-pong balls.

If you’ve never played beer pong before, you’ll probably want a bit of an introduction before you invest in a beer pong set. So here we go: beer pong was invented in 1872, a decade or so before anyone had heard of ping-pong, by an Englishman named Eustace Pong. Pong came up with the game when, in the middle of his evening pint, his glass eye fell out of its socket and landed in his beer. Fortunately, he decided not to use glass eyes in the game; in fact, the earliest beer pong set used pine cones in place of balls. Experts also agree that back in the 19th century, the game would only have been played by members of the royal family and other wealthy aristocrats, as nobody else back then could afford cups. A far cry from the modern game, we’re sure you’ll agree – beer pong is now a fixture of parties the world over, and no matter where you go on a weekend, you’re likely to find a bunch of people digging out the beer pong set and attempting to get their balls into each other’s drinks.

That’s pretty much all you need to know, so grab yourself a beer pong set today and get practicing. Before you know it, you’ll be competing in the beer pong world series, and no we haven’t made that up. Unlike the rest of this blog post.  

Does your job bore you to tears? Perhaps a couple of cool desk gadgets would make those long working days a little more bearable! We’re all about distractions here at Gadget Inspector, and if you’ve got nothing play, fiddle and fidget with when you’re supposed to be doing something productive, boy can we help. We’ve got all kinds of desk gadgets and fun little toys to keep your idle hands occupied, so we hope your boss won’t mind a big dip in your productivity over the next few weeks...

Brand new to Gadget Inspector is the awesomely Pinart 3D Image. You’ve probably seen these delicious desk gadgets before; they’re basically a screen of small pins into which you press objects or body parts to create a 3D relief image to proudly display on your desk. Hands and faces are popular choices – pressing your palms into that screen of sliding pins is a lovely sensation. Just try to resist it!

Elsewhere in our range of desk gadgets you’ll find the equally brand new Newton’s Cradle, where science meets style in a clattering collision of procrastination. The sound of those little silver balls clacking against each other can be surprisingly compelling, so grab one today and put Newton’s Laws of Motion to the test! Every action has an equal and opposite reaction, don’t cha know, and sure enough, the number of balls you lift up to start the reaction will be equal to the number of spheres that gets knocked away from the row on the other side. One ball knocks one ball away, two balls knock away two, and so on. Who knew desk gadgets could be so educational?

Just as R2D2 himself was ever-present throughout the Star Wars saga, R2D2 gadgets have always been an important part of our range here at Gadget Inspector. We've done an R2D2 Safe, an R2D2 iPhone case, and even R2D2 mints, but our newest gadget, the Remote Controlled Inflatable R2D2, might just be the best R2D2 gadget of all.

Who didn't love R2D2? The lovable droid wouldn't have been included in all six Star Wars movies if the audiences weren't going gaga for him, and everything about that cute little robot, from his cool blue and white look to the high-pitched beeps that he uses to communicate, remains hugely iconic. That's why we thought it would be great to give you the chance to take R2D2 home with you in the form of your very own RC robot toy! Gadget Inspector's inflatable R2D2 is fun for kids and adults alike, so whether you're new to the Star Wars universe or still fondly remembering that life-changing trip to the cinema in 1977, having an inflatable RC robot to play with will make you feel like you really are in a galaxy far, far away!

The inflatable R2D2 is more that just an RC toy; he's an RC robot, with all sorts of cool features!

• The inflatable R2D2 has a super durable body, so you'll be playing with him for a long time to come!
• 360-degree manoeuvrability means your RC robot can go forwards, backwards, left and right.
• The RC robot comes with a built-in self-righting system, so every time your inflatable R2D2 gets knocked down, he'll get right back up again all on his own!
• Tri-band operation allows you and two friends to get an inflatable R2D2 each and have a three-way RC robot race!

That's just a handful of the reasons why we love our inflatable R2D2 so much. He's the best friend a Star Wars fan could ask for, so grab your RC robot today and kick your playtime into hyperspace!

Our Micro Drone Quadrocopter takes remote control fun to a whole new level!

If you’ve already got yourself a brilliant RC Helicopter from Gadget Inspector, and you’ve more or less mastered that, then perhaps it’s time to take your remote control experience to the next level. The brand new Micro Drone Quadrocopter is a huge leap forward for remote control technology, and here’s why:

• The quadrocopter boasts a four-blade, quad-rotor design that gives it unprecedented stability in the air. It also has a rather clever self-stabilising system, so your quadrocopter will rule the skies even when it’s windy!
• Intuitive 4-channel controls make the quadrocopter the smoothest ride you’ve ever piloted! The gyroscopic steering system allows you to fly your quadrocopter forwards, backwards, up, down, left and right, and the sprawling 120-metre range allows your remote control aircraft to scale heights you could only dream of before.
• Best of all, the quadrocopter can perform death-defying stunts at the push of a button. The remote control boffins who built the quadrocopter included an algorithm that allows it to do a 360-degree flips in mid-air. Just press the stunt button on the remote control handset, and your quadrocopter will soon be somersaulting around the sky like nobody’s business.  

So if you want an RC helicopter with a bit of bite, the quadrocopter really is the only way to go. Still, this is cutting-edge stuff, so if you don’t think you’re ready for the quadrocopter just yet then perhaps you should start with one of our other Remote Control Helicopters first.
