Only someone who’s a complete stranger to the world of gaming would think that World of Lordcraft is an original IP. So, is the craft of lords better than that of war? In short: No. But it is way funnier. Currently under development by a company called GSprite, this WoL of shame pilfered almost…

Aaron Alai made sure that prospective employers – and lovers – will remember him. They’ll remember him as the nerd with the business card that lights up.

Touching two points on the card activates the small LED on the lower right of the card. The unusual schematic is deliberate; it’s actually the molecular diagram…

There are nice surprises on ChatRoulette, after all. Take ChatRoulette for a spin and you might stumble on Merton, who instead of brandishing his organ, shows off his piano instead, bursting out meta-tunes about his chat mate with all the charm of  Ed Helms, Ben Folds, and Flight of the Conchords.

You got to hand it to the Japanese, they’re always coming up with the wackiest concepts. In an era in which we are trying to make robots look more human or just make them more useful, there’s nothing like this tower-shaped robot to get to the heart of the matter.

Tsutenkaku is its name,…

Currently in beta, Gaikai will let gamers try out all sorts of games and software – Eve Online, Mario Kart, WoW, Photoshop – with only a browser and Flash as requirements. No need to install anything. Sound familiar? The truth is that Gaikai and OnLive are quite similar: both are cloud-based gaming services –…

Maker/Problem-solver Steve Hoefer made an Arduino-based glove that can play Rock Paper Scissors. Why? Why the hell not! You think a nerd would pass up the opportunity to play with a computer? The glove has an accelerometer that detects when the user is shaking his fist to signify the beginning of a round. A…

I can understand rappers and other moguls want to diversify so they can get more money or whatever they are calling it in new rap videos today. I would think that you wouldn’t want to be associated with jail or prison if you were famous, but for a rapper it seems you have to…

Hey there. Having a normal weekend so far? Let’s make it freaky then; that’s what I’m paid to do. Below is a shot of watchmaker Louis Moinet’s latest creation. It’s called the Jurassic Tourbillon, a watch whose dial contains “fragments of authentic fossilized dinosaur bones.”

The Jurassic Tourbillion’s case is adorned by 18K white…

Seriously folks, where’s the boogie in this box? Audio-Technica’s idea of a portable speaker clocks in at 5.7 lbs and looks like a young, chubby amplifier.

Its tough-looking case houses two 70 mm full range speakers with an installed capacity of 2W each. The BoogieBox has a 3.5 mm input jack, so you can…

Now blowing on an NES cartridge is no longer a means to an end, but an end in itself. I give you… the NES harmonica…

Remember the bit of news we shared a while back about Microsoft’s filing a trademark for “Ribbon Hero?” Well now the game/add-on/learning tool is available for download! It’s a manifestation of Mr. Schell’s vision of the future, but at least this time the game is for a product that a customer has a already…

Then this would definitely be his ride. First class craftsmanship, as befits a powerful telepath. A powerful alcoholic telepath. Forge and Zero probably helped him make the wheelchair, as it’s made of parts from the past 135 years.

The Steampunk Professor Xavier Wheelchair by Daniel Valdez was made from a Victorian rocker from 1875,…
