Like many electronic devices, remote-controlled aircraft and other UAV have to deal with their batteries’ limited capacity, which often translates to just a few minutes of flight time. That might not be such a big deal if you’re using a UAV just for fun, but it could be a headache for commercial or industrial applications.

The French Revolution was one of the most chaotic and bloody eras in recent memory, but that has in no way stopped game developer Post World Games from adding zombies just to spice things up a bit.

We’ve featured a few specialized hacks and adapters that let you use a different controller on one gaming platform. But ConsoleTuner’s Titan One adapter might be able to fulfill several of your controller needs at once – even the ones you never thought you had.

Check out this beautiful custom Mega Man Playstation from customizer Oskunk. This console looks amazing and I wish I had the talent to create something like this.

I have seen some strange keyboards over the years from gaming units that allow you to replace the entire key tops with keys specifically for certain games to keyboard with no letters printed on them. A new custom keyboard has turned up that is stranger than all of those.

If you don’t have a few old school arcade games that you love on a weird nostalgic level, I’m rather surprised that you’re reading Technabob. Now think about that game and how much you’d love to play it tonight.

Remember a few months back when they dug up all of those Atari 2600 games from the landfill? That was some exciting geek archaeology. Now, thanks to the Tularosa Basin Historical Society, these cartridges are for sale -on eBay.

Man at Arms: Reforged has journeyed into the fantasy world of Skyrim to forge a real world Dragonborn helmet. Even though they mostly forge weapons, a true smith does armor as well – and Baltimore Knife and Sword does just that.

Video game DLC is rampant these days with game developers sometimes launching add-on packs and items the day the video game launches. That always irritates me because it seems like that content should be included with the game I just spent $60 on.

Fans of Doctor Who who also want to stay nice and toasty this winter will love the latest geeky hoodie from ThinkGeek. The hoodie is a TARDIS police box in the same blue color that you expect a TARDIS to be covered in.

Terry McGinnis hated the Bat-Signal, but he might consider Aerial Burton’s True 3D Display. The Japanese company’s proof-of-concept device creates three dimensional images by reflecting a laser beam into the air. When air molecules are hit by the beam, they become ionized for a brief moment and release photons into the air, which manifest as bright dots of light.

If these NES trophies existed way back in the day my shelves would be lined with them. I’m not afraid to say that I kicked butt on the old 8-bit Nintendo. I mean, sure I hardly saw the outside world and didn’t know what a girl was until I was like 25, but still.

I think that Darth Vader and The Grinch would be good friends. They are both angry, rather evil folks. With the holiday season here, you might be looking for a new Christmas sweater to keep the chill away and celebrate the season.

You may have heard of The Internet Arcade, a collection of about 900 classic arcade games that you can play right in your web browser. If you’re looking for a more authentic arcade experience, check out Digital Cybercherries’ NewRetroArcade.

Raiding and pillaging? You better plan it all out. The best way to do that is to sit at this viking longboat conference table and go over your impending attack step by step. Your business is all about conquering – and business is good.

Halloween has just wrapped up, and the last parties have been attended, but it has left you with a feeling. It’s a feeling that all holidays might be better if they were a little more terrifying.
