It was bound to happen eventually. iKaraoke strips the lead vocals off any track in your iPod collection and sends it to any FM reciever, wired or wirelessly-your choice. Your next post-party gossip will be rife with stories of your friends making drunken fools of themselves trying to rap like 50, growling like the Deathklok, or (horrors) caterwauling like that guy from The Darkness. This little gadget by Griffin is small enough to fit in your pocket, and has blackmail YouTube video potential like no other device to hit the shelves since the home version of Dance Dance Revolution. Here’s a hint: don’t break this out right away. Let your pals get a few beers in them first, then let ‘er rip. Grab some video with your cell phone camera . . . you know what to do next.

Got 3K laying around with nothing to do? Drop it on this full-sized Pac Man 25th Anniversary arcade classic. No coin op, mechanism though, which is a major bummer. Folks, this is what we used to do before the Internet. Order one today and live the dream, baby! Add it to your man room for the ultimate retro touch. You know you want to.

A lot of wine storage units are just too massive to use in a small kitchen area or dining room. Whenever we find something that’s actually practical for a wine lover who’s in living somewhere between the dorm room and that mansion on the hill, we pass it along. This model by Sunpentown holds eight bottles, is adjustable between optimal serving temps for whites and reds (whites 50-59 degrees and reds 60-65 degrees) or sparkling wines (45-49 degrees). Best of all, there’s no compressor noise! This unit features a vibration-free thermoelectric cooling system which is easy on the environment.

Self-contained on-tap beer dispensers are a bit of a passion of ours at the ‘Crave. The Carlsberg Draughtmaster is everything you want in a home beer-tap. Since this is a product of the UK, we’ll say that it handles the standard five litre keg (ye metrics-loving bastards, ye) and pours a delightfully cold perfect pint each and every time. Until you run out, and you have to sit there staring at the thing wondering why nothing’s coming out. Hint: Buy TWO five litre kegs for this and you won’t have that problem quite so often. With the mournful staring, that is…

From Suck UK, the Fridge Magnet Bottle Opener. A concept of such genius, we can hardly contain ourselves. No more fumbling around in the junk drawer for the spare bottle opener because you lost the main bottle opener. If you are too loaded to catch your bottlecap, you’ll be reminded in the morning when you step all over them while you’re fumbling around in the fridge for some bottled water to wash the asprin down.

These remote-controlled tanks are perfect for our latest GearCrave drinking game, but don’t hold your drinks while you operate the tank. (Learn why after the break.) You and a buddy manuever the tanks and try to blast one another. If you get shot, take a drink. It’s as simple as that.

How do you tell if your tank has been hit, you ask? That’s easy. When your tank takes a hit, you get a lovely, stimulating, refreshing electric shock. This game has two modes, wimpy and manly, so take your pick and take your lumps. Remember the dumbass electric shock roulette game we featured last month? This is MUCH cooler than that, because you are inflicting pain and misery on your best friends, rather than sitting around in a circle hoping it won’t happen to you. Two tanks per box make this a great drinking game bargain.

For the Man Room you could die in, this is the bar. It converts in second from an excellent “ordinary” bar to the amazingly cool Vegas-style gaming table you see above. After the break, we’ll see how it looks like in “cocktail mode”:

We’re not sure why you’d want to stick your finger inside this Shocking Roulette game, but if you have had enough drinks, you might get a charge out of this dumbass bar toy. What’s shocking about this is the notion that anybody would actually try it sober. Shocking Roulette is the old Russian Roulette game, but with electricity instead of the uglier, no-fun alternative. The game has two settings, one for wimps, and one for drunk gym rats. Go ahead, slick. Poke your finger in there and take your chances. Made for four players, or you can go mano-a-mano with one finger from each hand waiting for the jolt. Pure Beavis and Butthead.

Silver bullets aren’t just good for killing werewolves, they also make killer cocktails. This sleek, retro-style stainless steel drink mixer holds 18 ounces of Cosmopolitans, Margaritas, or James Bond-approved Martinis (shaken, not stirred). It’s also a nice way to judge how things are progressing on a home dinner date. Whip this puppy from underneath the bar and see how she reacts. If the conversation takes a turn for the dirty, you’re well on your way. If she starts talking shop about Sigmund Freud, you’re probably screwed, so mix an extra strong one for yourself.

Being a stylin’ alky means having the right flask. We’re not talking about any old container here, you need something that puts your fellow boozehounds to shame. Whip out one of these and know you’re the king drunk in the room:

This croc-stamped black leather-covered flask is too sweet! The removable stainless-steel flask holds five ounces, and has a hinged cap so you can’t lose it in the middle of a serious binge. The Cadillac of booze flasks.
