Add GearCrave to the GTA IV love fest.  Your humble GearCrave editor waited outside of our local game stop at midnight last night for one of the very first copies of Grand Theft Auto IV.  Departing the scene felt a little like a pre game celebration on its own.  I found myself running to my car, hitting the gas the second the engine turned over, and praying that there would be no cops on my speeding path home.  It wasn’t long until that process was repeated, but in game.  Take it from us: Grand Theft Auto IV is likely the most incredible game we’ve played to date.  Sure, we’re only a few hours in, but we can say with confidence that we’ve never seen such an immersive, graphically intense, interactive open environment in a game before GTA IV.  Its fun, its really, really fun.

Its also likely now on its way out of stock.  Not at Amazon, fortunately.  You’re going to want to avoid the game store run-around (which we dealt with), so as always– Amazon is your best bet.

The polo is the perfect neutral zone between the dress shirt and the t-shirt, the business world and college. As long as you don’t pop that collar, the polo shirt can give you the expression of a t-shirt while you make your way through the corporate world. How, you say, can a polo shirt give you the edge of expression that a nice screenprinted t-shirt can get? The guys from Attus Apparel have updated the classic polo with sex, drug, rock, roll and sarcasm. The knit polo logo on the Attus Apparel polos feature more than just a dude on a horse. You’ll find the middle finger, a 40, a stripper on a pole, a broken skateboard and more on the hilarious Attus Apparel polos. Hell, take a look for yourself! Continue reading after the break for a) images of these killer polos and b) how five lucky GearCrave readers will get to take one of these home for free.

When picking our favorites from last week, we had a total of twelve awesome pieces that we thought were more than exceptional.

Be sure to check out our coverage on that one, and how you can get one of those rare beauties on your wrist. In case you missed a day or two last week, be sure to continue reading below for more…

There’s something liberating about flying through city traffic, pedal by pedal through bumper to bumper, leaving the gridlock in your wake as you reach your destination. While Tommy Commuter is stuck on the bus next to a fragrant bum, you’re flying on two wheels of freedom. In these warmer months, the commute becomes the highlight of your day…

Our friends at Cube Bikes want to extend that freedom– their folding street bike concept allows you to take your speedy steed with you into your home, office or otherwise. While that concept is not new, Cube’s version showcases the cutting edge. Cube proves that the “folding bike” gimmick can still perform, feel good and look great. While the Cube Urban Street Concept Bike is still just an idea, it promises to make your commute ultramobile and ultracool. When it does hit the market, GearCrave will be the first to let you know… [treehugger]

There’s nothing more dejecting than burning toast. Your eggs come out too runny? No one’s perfect. Pancakes are too crispy? It happens. Burn your toast? Give up on life (or at least the rest of your day). According to the culinary laws of physics, toast is theoretically idiot-proof. It’s supposed to be the one sure thing in one’s breakfast. But, sometimes, the toaster hates you. And, then what’re supposed to do? No one likes black toast. If you eat it, every nasty bite reminds you how much you suck. Throw it out, and now you’re incompetent and wasteful. Fortunately, Aussie appliance company Breville understands how you feel. Okay maybe it’s just me, but their Die-Cast 2-Slice Toaster BTA820XL, a.k.a. the Smart Toaster is the Lebron James of toasters. First off it’s beautiful– a full metal body, slick buttons, and a futuristic blue LED browning indicator that doubles as a countdown timer. But it’s real coolness is in its brains. Not only does it have a one-touch auto lowering system but it also boasts a one-of-a-kind ‘Lift & Look’ feature that actually raises the bread carriage mid-cycle to let you peep your toast’s doneness without resetting the timer. If after the cycle finishes, it needs just a bit more time, there’s actually has a feature called the ‘A Bit More’ function to lower the toast and give it just that. The browning control has a 5 levels and can be adjusted mid-cycle as well. Now, you just have to ask yourself if you’re ready for a toaster that’s smarter than you?

Celestron’s VistaPix 8×22 model puts the cool back in binoculars. The magnifying tool has long been clunky and burdensome, but the folks at Celestron have designed this lightweight (11 oz) model for easy mobility. That’s only the tip of the iceberg. There’s a built-in FM radio and best of all, a 3 megapixel digital camera lens. Now you can take great pictures of anything you spy. They even thought of putting a flip-up LCD screen, so you can easily preview your image. The binoculars’ zoom reaches 8x, but combined with the LCD screen’s 6x zoom, there’s an insane potential for 48x zoom. Spying falling stars (or whatever else you’re into) has never been easier.
