Fly the TARDIS. Save the Universe!

Doctor Who Save the Universe Board Game

We know what you're thinking. Bow ties, fezzes, and Stetsons are cool. But so is flying your own TARDIS and battling against fellow Time Lords! Honestly, this is going to be one of the few times in your life you stand a chance of seeing an Adipose face-off against a Dalek with a decent chance of winning. The rules are easy, the goal simple: collect more pairs of enemy disks than everyone else. Of course, nothing is really all that simple when you're dealing with immortal adversaries with two hearts.

Here's how the game is played:

Spin the arrow and race around the TARDIS console, collecting enemy disks that feature your favorite Raxacoricofallapatorians, the Slitheen, hindbrain wielding Ood, Jundoon, and even old Davros himself. Share a square with another player and you can battle it out to take one of their enemy disks. Will your Weeping Angel beat their Cyberman? Just be careful - landing on the time vortex may have interesting consequences, in the Hoban Washburne definition of interesting.

Room-filling, 360-degree sound from a laptop? You bet.

Laptop Speaker Bar

Laptop Speaker Bar

Let's face it: laptop speakers suck. They're tinny and flat and just plain ewwy. If you care about music, listening to it through a laptop's speakers is downright painful. But what if your only computer is a laptop? You can hook it up to a docking station and real speakers when you're at home, but what about when you're lounging on the couch or on the road? Do you have to settle for sucky sound quality? Heck no, not when you have a Laptop Speaker Bar!

The Laptop Speaker Bar clips easily to the top of most laptops and netbooks and stays securely fastened for as long as you need it. The USB cable plugs into your laptop on one end and tucks neatly into the back of the speaker to prevent cord clutter. It's plug-and-play, so you can enjoy room-filling, 360-degree sound from your laptop instantly. And it comes with a travel case, so you can bring it with you on business trips, conventions, or anywhere else you'd like better quality sound.
