The weekend project is back. So get your paper and scissors, because it’s time to get into DIY mode. This week papercrafts don’t require any glue and are relatively simple to make.

First Gears of War 2 Campaign Footage

1up scored the first look at Gears of War 2’s gameplay footage, and it’s pretty much what I expected. Instead of tiny little skirmishes with Locusts like in the last game, we get to see huge, epic battles be played out. Kind of like this game called Halo- ever hear of it?
I’m pretty curios to […]

Flogos - “Floating Logos”

As if I don’t see enough advertisements in the strangest of places, now I can start looking to the sky. Francisco Guerro, who co-founded SnowMasters Inc, created a machine that sends foamy clouds up to 4ft wide in the shape of whatever logo you can imagine….or afford.
Disney is the first big name to make use […]

Burnout Paradise Drives It’s Way To Pc

Burnout Paradise faired well on console with it’s fast paced racing and fun online play. Franchise fans that missed out on the recent console rendition can get a chance to tear it up on PC.
Being the first time a Burnout game has ever come to PC, developer Criterion are being rather hush hush on what’s […]

Bioshock The Movie Now Has A Director! (Yar!)

Well, what was arguably one of the biggest releases for the Xbox 360 last year, Bioshock, is coming to a theater near you in the future. Now, Universal had snapped up the rights for it awhile ago, to turn this awesome game into a mediocre movie. Today they finally have attached a director to this […]

The Emergency Party Button is No F***ing Joke

The emergency party button is something that no respectable bachelor pad or party house should be without. This magical button will turn your boring ol’ place into a party of epic proportions- provided you have enough awesome people attend and a decent amount of alcohol. Just turn the key, press the button, and watch the […]

Don’t Know What To Read? I Got You !

Here will be another feature to look forward to. I’ll be talking about a manga series that I am reading or have read that needs to be checked out. For those of you who have never read a manga, this should be a treat. For the people that have this might enlighten you to read […]

“You don’t get to be the Hot Dog Cooker… That Job is already taken”

Sometimes cookin’ some dogs outside isn’t the most safest situation. I mean aside from smoke in your eye and bugs bothering you there’s mustard slinging bandit’s after your Ball Park.
Fear not, the BBQ Sword is here. [via gf]

WaSnake Shelf Does RSS, SMS, and Also Holds Things

If you have an assload of toys at your house like my girlfirned and I, then you could probably use a cool shelf. Look no further. The WaSnake has LED screens that can display RSS headlines and even SMS messages. Having this bad boy over the TV would definitely rule. Too bad they won’t be […]

Howl’s Moving Castle - The Real Deal

Now here is something that you don’t see everyday. At the Maker Faire , an American Otaku has created a life size Howl’s Moving Castle. It may not be the same exact mammoth from the movie but still impressive. What a little hard work and elbow grease can help you accomplish. For those of you […]

reNESED

We’ve seen our fair share of NES re-designs and mods, but the reNes by Javier Segovia is in a league of its own. It’s only a concept, but the design is top-notch. Somebody should get around to manufacturing these things with Famicom and Super Famicom compatibility. Just a thought.

Id Software confirms Doom 4

Though my hype is not what it was for Doom in the last few years you still have to pay some respect to the shooter that sort of pushed the bar on our common shooters today. Not a whole lot of information right now besides that the production has official started and Id Software is […]
