• The Best Nintendo Emulator You Will See All Day [Ultimate Nintendo Gaming Machine]

  In Computers, Design, DIY, Gaming

  

  If you grew up in the days of the original NES, you probably get a little nostalgic at times – hence the popularity of emulators – but there was more to Nintendo’s early consoles than the clunky old-school graphics. The controllers were an integral part of the experience, but having a separate machine for every type of game isn’t really practical (unless you are this guy). Redditor woolydawg5 came up with a clever solution, he [...]

   

• Real Batarang Really Isn’t Cheap [Batman]

  In Gaming, Geeky

  

  If you ever wanted to own a Batarang, of the sort that you might have used in Batman: Arkham City then checkout this $750 replica that Gamasutra has produced – they also made the Riddler trophy form the same game – it only costs $350. The models of the Batarang and trophy are limited to 7,500 and 440 pieces, respectively. Seriously though, are there that many people who are ready to part with that much [...]

   

• Game Genie Makes a Comeback on the PS3

  In Gaming

  

  Remember the Game Genie? If your formative gaming years involved cartridge based games then you almost certainly do. The Game Genie was a cartridge adapter that let you cheat when you stuck it into your console with the game. When optical media came in, cheating on consoles had to be done by good old-fashioned cheat codes – tedious at best. Now, Game Genie is ready to make a comeback, in a new and exciting way. [...]

   

• Inhabitants of Lego Mario Fish Tank Live Better than Me

  In DIY, Gaming, Geeky

  

  The Mario-themed fish tank that you see in the image above and in the gallery and video below is the work of Redditor jennyleighb’s roommate. Ridiculously simple, perhaps, but the execution was beautiful – there is no more or less than there needs to be. Well perhaps it could use a few more fish, but other than that it is perfect.

• The Best Gaming Room You Will See All Day

  In Gaming, Geeky, Videos

  

  While I don’t personally know YouTube user 16bitghost – who also happens to go by the name of Pete, I am going to go out on a limb and say that he is a man who loves his games. He has amassed just about every console known to man, each in its own little shelf beneath a modestly-sized flat screen. On top of the console collection, there is a game library that some people would [...]

   

• This Xbox 360 Controller Has 9mm Bullets for Buttons

  In Design, Gaming

  

  If your Xbox controller lacks a certain something-something, you could try doing what this guy did: replacing the buttons with spent 9mm bullets. Or you could just buy one off Etsy user DieselLaceDesign: This is a new name brand factory Microsoft Xbox controller modified the ABXY with real fired 9mm bullet buttons. Everything functions properly and each controller is tested fully. Please specify when purchasing black, white or whatever other color Microsoft manufactures and is [...]

   

• Retro Bobby- Will Work for Toys

  In Gaming, Geeky, Toys, Videos

  

  In the land of Copenhagen, lives a man-child named Bobby Agren, better known as Retro Bobby. Bobby loves toys, video games, creepy facial hair, ironic thrift store sweaters, and making your hair look fabulous. I know, none of this makes much sense, but doesn’t that make this video seem all the more interesting? Bobby and his friend Ruben own and operate a salon/trading post of sorts, where you can trade Gameboys for pompadours, and Atari [...]

   

• Max Payne 3 Bullet Time Preview Looks Bloody and Awesome [Video]

  In Gaming, Videos

  

  If this trailer is anything to go by then the third installment in Rockstar’s Max Payne franchise should be a treat. The video shows off the game’s Bullet Time feature and it looks like Rockstar has managed to kick the effect up a notch or two this time around and they made things bloodier to boot. There is always something satisfying about watching the opposition’s bullets whiz harmlessly past while you snuff out each of [...]

   

• Emperor 200 Luxury Computer Workstation: First Class Surfing and Gaming

  In Computers, Gaming, Technology

  

  Trying to break the record for most consecutive hours spent online?  Well you may as well do it in style.  And it’s a good thing your trust fund isn’t running out anytime soon because this one’s going to cost you.  The Emperor 200 Luxury Computer Workstation is like the G450 Business Jet equivalent of where ever you normally sit to surf the interwebs, but is oddly more expensive than actually chartering a private flight.  The [...]

   

• AMD 6950 Eyefinity review and how-to

  In Computers, Gaming, Toys

  

  Note: This is a review of the Eyefinity function on the AMD (formerly ATI) 6950, the card has been reviewed ad-nauseam and is still (when properly flashed to a 6970 BIOS) in the top 5 of the performance cards list so I will not go into the details or benchmark the card. All of us who are computer enthousiasts probably have at least one or two spare LCD panel monitors lying around, and because it [...]

   

• Logitech G27 Racing Wheel review

  In Gaming, Reviews

  

  I’ve had my sweaty palms on a Logitech G27 Racing Wheel for the last week or so, replacing a still functioning but ancestral Logitech Momo Force wheel, here’s what I found out about it. The G27 kit, wheel, pedals and shifter weigh in at almost 20lbs. This makes the wheel itself very sturdy, an H pattern shift knob is included and the pedals are absolutely marvelous and include a clutch. All three parts even come [...]

   

• Xbox 720 May Be a Different Kind of Animal

  In Gaming

  

  Rumor has it that we are going to get our first glimpse of the Xbox 720 at E3 this summer (according to Boy Genius Report anyway). But what are we going to see? The word is that that the 720 GPU is going to be based on ATI’s Radeon HD 6670 GPU – which is a solid, affordable, DirectX 11-capable, mid-range card – that will give the new Box roughly six times the power of [...]
