Solid Alliance's 2GB USB Skull Ring helps RPG players look tough

We'll be straight with you: there's no single expression of bad-assery more potent in the polyhedral kingdom of nerdistan than the USB Skull Ring. Brought to you by Solid Alliance, the 2GB USB drive feels right at home transferring files to your PC or at the end of a fist, deftly buried into the gut of a Moradin dwarf. Your choice for $145, no seriously. One more hair-free shot after the break.

Who knew Encino Man had a thing for usb rings? Thats one hairy hand.

[Muhammad-Oli @ Oct 21st 2008 9:08AM]

Turn the picture upside-down and all four rings have afros!

[Ed @ Oct 21st 2008 9:47AM]

wow, clean nails ... i think that's a first for engadget ...

[Tracy in Cary @ Oct 21st 2008 12:25PM]

I don't see a problem with that hand. It looks perfectly normal to me.

Unless it's a woman's hand. Then it's kinda hideous.

[Wwhat @ Oct 21st 2008 12:53PM]

Doesn't look like a normal human hand to me, hairy all over the back and fingers that even compensation for perspective seem oddly short.

[The Joker @ Oct 21st 2008 5:55PM]

Get your hand off me you damn dirty ape!

[LostProphet @ Oct 21st 2008 5:04AM]

Why did they get a monkey to model them? Were humans too ashamed?

[Ethan Rom @ Oct 21st 2008 9:27AM]

It's George the Animal Steel's arm.

That is one hairy hand model, and considering he's wearing these, his palms are probably just as hairy.

[Josh @ Oct 21st 2008 5:08AM]

Hairiness aside, one could go all out and get fully 20GB geeked out.
or 22GB if you're lucky.

[absinthe party @ Oct 21st 2008 7:23AM]

Don't you mean _un_lucky?

[ace1000_x @ Oct 21st 2008 5:08AM]

The best thing about these is that at least you can use it as a knuckle duster to defend yourself against all the people that are going to want to beat you up for wearing something like this.

[calm @ Oct 21st 2008 5:21AM]

At least he had some pride and brushed his hair before the shoot.

[Twitchy @ Oct 21st 2008 5:24AM]

A fool and his money...Kaching! Thank you, come again!

[Dwarf @ Oct 21st 2008 10:04AM]

Did you just call a dwarf a drawf?

[Michael @ Oct 21st 2008 5:26AM]

Crapgadget!

[chrisp @ Oct 21st 2008 5:30AM]

Unfortunatly my inventory is full, so I have no use for these. I might be more tempted if they gave some stats.
Mmmmm....

Uses ==*Eye of Knowing*==

From what I can procure, the Red Skull Ring has the following properties:

[lanosian @ Oct 21st 2008 5:37AM]

[david amodt @ Oct 21st 2008 5:43AM]

Hmmm... sexy asian models showing geek gadgetry or hairy knuckles showing RPG ware...

Verdict: I'll take the asian girls...

[dervheid @ Oct 21st 2008 5:49AM]

It's gonna be a tad uncomfortable to use, what with having your pelvis jammed up against your PC, don't you think?

Oh, wait, it's NOT a c**k-ring then.

Just a load of cock in the shape of a ring!

[dervheid @ Oct 22nd 2008 10:12AM]

WOOO!
Low Ranked Again!

[chrisp @ Oct 21st 2008 5:59AM]

Stop disssing the hairy dude! He's obviously a barbarian, he cant help it. Sheesh

[mattclarkie @ Oct 21st 2008 6:00AM]

Can people stop insulting my hand please. I know they are hairy but you know what they say gives you hairy palms.

[theCardinal @ Oct 21st 2008 8:23AM]

Testosterone

[Josh @ Oct 21st 2008 8:51AM]

More tea Vicar?

[Orpheus @ Oct 21st 2008 6:09AM]

For $145 I'd want them to be made from the skulls of some minuscule prehistoric race.

[Hotrod @ Oct 21st 2008 6:54AM]

This thread is on a roll, every comment has been hilarious so far. Except mine.

[Kris @ Oct 21st 2008 8:12AM]

Yours was funny too :)

[Robot @ Oct 21st 2008 10:33AM]

A Ricker Roll?

[Joe Hatfield @ Oct 21st 2008 8:11AM]

You think that's hairy? Please. I think my mom had more hair than that!

[Moo @ Oct 21st 2008 8:19AM]

So easy a caveman can use it!

[Anthony @ Oct 21st 2008 12:43PM]

rotflmao nice

[Si @ Oct 21st 2008 8:41AM]

Good to see that the rings are still wearable by victims of woodchipping accidents.

[ZeitgeistXIII @ Oct 21st 2008 9:50AM]

Nothing instills fear in your enemies like a a pinkish nubbie on your hand. Hairy or not.

[fistpittingnork @ Oct 21st 2008 10:05AM]

That's 8 hairy gigs of in your face ass kickin!

[HowardLive @ Oct 21st 2008 10:44AM]

Looks like Spike's "engagement" ring to Buffy in the episode where a spell made them (temporarily) fall in love. ;-)

[FinDog @ Oct 21st 2008 10:44AM]

Gorilla hand not included.

[Steph-Chan @ Oct 21st 2008 11:36AM]
