RAGE! = Fired!
A League of Legends employee raged hard against another player accusing him of “feeding” (purposely dieing to benefit the opponent) during a match a few days ago. Continue reading

3D makes people blink… ALOT!
Seems like everything is being made with 3D technology now. It’s like the HD of a few years back. Along with these new trends are those eager few who want to redefine the way we view 3D. Right now, most people associate 3D with glasses (you know, the ones that give you headaches). Nintendo has done away with the glasses in favour of a camera that tracks eye movement for the 3DS. Although this may seem cool, Mr. Francois here has found an even cooler way to watch 3D. Continue reading

3DS Promotes Walking
Fitness is a big topic these days and especially within the gaming realm. Nintendo first promoted its Wii Fit line of gaming products as a method of losing weight and being healthy. Well, now it seems as if the 3DS is also taking a similar route with a built in pedometer that will earn game coins to be allocated to the game of your choice. Continue reading

Chipophone
Linus Akesson reverse engineered an old electronic organ to an eight-bit synthesizer. The results are quite spectacular as he plays old classics from some legendary titles. Check out Legend of Zelda on the “Chipophone”! Continue reading

Razor Switchblade = PURE AWESOME
The Razor Switchblade made its debut at CES yesterday. It is a mobile gaming platform that features customizable keys. It is absolutely amazing. Every key on the keyboard is an lcd and can be customized to meet your gaming needs. Even better is the Switchblade’s ability to recognize games and intelligently create a layout for you. The only issue might be the fact that it screen is too small for some games but make no mistake, if portable gaming were to ever take form, this is what it would look like. Continue reading

Avatar Kinect
During Steve Ballmer’s pre-show keynote address, he demonstrated the features of Avatar Kinect. The most important of which was the fact that Kinect sensors will now be able to track facial expressions. The video was actually quite impressive and shows the life-like features of the avatars. Avatar Kinect will also feature “conference rooms” where users can choose between 15 different settings to hold conversations with their friends. Pretty cool overall and best of all, it will be free for Xbox Gold members!

New Intel CPU Prices
Went to my local parts store today to see if they had the new Sandy Bridge processors for sale. They had the boxes up but no product just yet. Kind of disappointing but it was to be expected. For the most part, they were taking pre-orders. There were a lot of people eyeing the new cpu (boxes) and quite a few that actually ordered. Continue reading

DRM No More Mr. Ubisoft
More and more games are released these days with DRM technologies to try and control the way games are played. They are viewed as a way to prevent users from playing illegally downloaded copies and also aid in disabling any hacks or exploits (to a lesser extent). About a year ago, Ubisoft caught on with this and started releasing games that were only playable online. In other words, even offline modes required a connection to the internet. Even worse was the fact that the game would malfunction if you lost connection during offline play (e.g. campaigns). The assumption made by Ubisoft was that all gamers had a connection to the internet anyways. Continue reading
