I’ll start out by saying that I had no idea what a Dodobongo was before I wrote this article. But from what I can tell, he’s some sort of goofy-looking animated dog from Japan. Whether or not you know what they heck he is, this USB version of the disproportionate…

We’ve featured our share of soaps that look like video game controllers before, but this is the first time I’ve seen any that look just like classic Atari 2600 joysticks.

The guys over at eatsleepshop sell these soaps for just $3 (USD) each, and they look great in any old-school…

If you’re into cranking out some really big electronic sounds, you might want to check out this nifty little device called the Wicks Looper – Acid Mix.

The $119 (USD) gadget from Australia’s Rarebeasts can push out some really thick electronic noise loops, perfect for live electronic performances. The handheld…

Time to update that worn out question gamers: Will your PC play Crysis… 2? A couple of screenshots have appeared in the Crymod forums and although the poster didn’t explicitly say that the pics showcase in-game graphics, I think that a game famous for its visuals can only be topped…

Pianos are unwieldy instruments. Tables are unwieldy too, but  we have no choice but to make room for at least one table in our homes – unless you’re like me, and you usually eat either in front of the computer or TV. Georg Bohle combines the two in one simple…
