I was a pretty big fan of Sony’s HMZ-T1 3D head-mounted display when it first came out a couple of years ago. With its HD OLED screens, it created an insanely immersive personal viewing experience. However, it had a few major shortcomings, and Sony hopes to rectify those with the newly revealed HMZ-T2 model.

If only Nintendo would actually make stuff like this, my life would be complete. I mean, just look at how amazing this NES toaster looks. It’s an Nintendo Entertainment System that makes you breakfast. Best toaster ever.

Hackable toys are nothing new, but there’s something appealing about pulling a ‘bot out of your pocket and remote-controlling it from your smartphone. I’m sure that some of the flying mini drones would also fit the bill, but the BERO (Be The Robot) looks pretty cool too.

Razer is a company that should be well known by most PC gamers. The company makes some of the coolest gaming peripherals such as keyboards, mice, and audio gear for gamers. The company has unveiled a new gaming headset with a very cool design called the BlackShark.

We’re no stranger to robot drummers – or robot musicians for that matter – but StickBoy stands out for a couple of reasons. Make that four reasons. The rock and roll robot makes up for its seemingly immobile hips by having four arms.

Some people love being the center of attention. I am not one of those people. So you can just imagine how I feel about the Scopophilia chair–which is the only chair in the world that’s got a few hundred eyeballs attached all over.

This is so not fair. How many people here in the United States would love to have access to HBO Go alone for streaming on-demand programs, rather than having to pay for a cable subscription to get it?

The Latvian capital of Riga is no stranger to snow. But snow when it’s not cold out? Now that’s something different. Latvian creative collective Kut decided to take matters into their owns hands by bringing the country to the city.

Gamers run on energy drinks and soda nowadays, but graphic designer Joe Grady remembers a time when he and his fellow imaginative adventurers relied on Dunkin’ Donuts’ coffee and fried rings of dough and sugar to keep them up during marathon sessions of Dungeons & Dragons.

I don’t know why but I always want to have the fastest components in my computer that I can find. It’s not like I can drag race my computer against the guy across the street in some sort of grudge match, but I still have this unnatural desire for the fastest computer hardware around.

Despite what you may have heard, there’s no looming threat of a zombie apocalypse. Sure, there’s one on The Walking Dead, but you don’t have to worry about coming across the undead in real life. Unless you happen to be in London, of course.

How many times can you drop an iMac before it shatters? I counted somewhere around 27 times (but I could be wrong.) It pretty much shattered the first time the box hit the ground through.

My millions of imaginary readers know how disappointed I am at the lack of a universal gaming controller for iOS devices. Archos added a pinch of envy to that disappointment when they unveiled the GamePad, a 7″ Android tablet that has physical buttons and two analog sticks.

I’ve seen a couple of people with the Samsung Galaxy Note, and they all commented on how big the device felt in their hands. Well Samsung decided that it still wasn’t large enough and has announced an even bigger Galaxy Note.

If you’ve played or at least seen one of those games down at your local arcade, then you’ll immediately recognize and understand just how cool these Power-Up Arcade Light Switch Plates are.

You would think that people would be sick of Pac-Man by now, but we keep coming up with new versions and new ways to play the classic game. And now some enterprising folks have come up with a way to play Pac-Man in 3D.
