Every day here at Doom HQ we receive tons of tips from our readers about really cool stuff from the world of geek, as well as promotional materials for new films, comic books, collectibles, and much more. While we do our best to bring you as much of it as possible, we don’t always have enough geek manpower available to cover it all on a daily basis. But we hate the idea of all of this really cool stuff wasting away in our inbox. How could we NOT cover it? Hence why we’ve resurrected our long-defunct column Bits Of Doom, now rebranded and revamped as Doom Digest, a collection of easily digestible bits of news, videos, photos, and other goodies.

Today: More Star Trek on the CBS comedy The Big Bang Theory, an Avengers TV spot, Jason Segel gets a rejection letter from Hillary Clinton, homemade R2-D2 shorts, and the stormtroopers of Star Wars fame doing the Stormtroopers Shuffle, plus Bits Of Doom.

The $10 t-shirt deal of the day over at RIPT Apparel today is a Star Wars-themed shirt called “Robot Crush” by Kent Zonestar.

The sale at RIPT began today, Monday, April 30, 2012, at midnight CST, and will continue for 24 hours from then, and once it’s over, it will not be sold on the site anymore.

So, I just told you about today being Record Store Day, where a bunch of special vinyl releases are available throughout the world at local record shops.

But in order to actually PLAY a vinyl record, you need a record player – or a turntable.

And wouldn’t it be awesome to have a Star Wars-themed turntable to play all your KISS Destroyer records on? (OK, I need it for all my old KISS albums; maybe you need it for your new limited-edition 7″ Coldplay record.) Anyhow, check to the image above of an R2-D2 Turntable, which is totally awesome.

The $10 t-shirt deal of the day over at TeeFury today is a Star Wars-themed shirt called “R2-Deathstar” by LocustYears.

The sale began at Teefury today, Monday, March 19, 2012, at midnight EST, and will continue for 24 hours from then, and once it’s over, it will not be sold on the site anymore.

May you find the droids you’re looking for…

Etsy shop LovesickRobotStudios created this holiday greeting card featuring Star Wars droid R2-D2. And while the sentiment is that you find the droids you’re looking for, I think we can all be thankful that the Empire didn’t find the droids they were looking for!
