Star Wars Force Trainer

 Star Wars Force Trainer
Start training your inner force and have some fun at the same time. So how does it work? The fine people from Thinkgeek always have a great descriptions:

It’s quite simple. depending on the amount of Midichlorians you have in your cells, each of you possess differing abilities to control your brainwaves. Using dry sensor technology, the Force Trainer can determine the differences between the alpha, beta, gamma and delta waves present in your brain. You can control these different brain ’states’ by using your ability to focus and to concentrate. A micro-chip inside the Force Trainer then uses an algorithm to figure out which brain state you are in and then decides how to raise or lower the ball based on that state. It’s kind of like magic, except the kind from a Galaxy far far away.

Price:$100

House Sitter Turns Random Stuff On and Off to Deter Burglars

house-sitter
The House Sitter is a security device of sorts. You plug something into it, and it will turn on at a random time around dusk; giving the illusion that someone has turned it on. It is fairly inexpensive and works for anything, lights, TVs, etc. A good idea if you need to leave your house unattended while you take a vacation and cannot afford or find a real house sitter.

Video: Gears of War 2, Glossy and Oh So Very Gory

Gears of War 2

Gears of War 2 looks like a compelling enough reason to buy an X360. This is about the glossiest shoot ‘em up I have ever seen, the video gives you a good look at what looks to be a fairly easy level of the game. The video takes you on a gory roller-coaster ride through one of the games levels and is certainly worth checking out if you are in the console market. GeOW2 (not to be confused with God of War 2) will be dropping this November and will be exclusive to the X360. Video after the jump. (more…)

SWTFU on Last Gen Consoles

Star Wars TFU
Star Wars The Force Unleashed is being primped and primed ready for its September and last gen consoles will not be left out. The PS2 version looks perfectly acceptable. The Wii version looks like a whole lot of fun as well, sure it might not stack up against the graphics might of either the X360 or PS3 but that Wii-mote light saber action looks like a whole lot of fun.

The Ultimate Drum Kit for Rock Band

The Ultimate Rock Band Drum Kit

I confess that I have never played Rock Band. It is not that I do not want to, it is that I have had no opportunities here in Japan. American games take a long time to come out over here. If you love your Rock Band drumming action, then the Ultimate Rock Band Drum Kit is most definitely for you.

This is a complete DIY drum kit for Rock Band. It was designed and built by Brett “Buzz” Dawson using a real drum kit and a whole lot of ingenuity. The kit was gutted and outfitted with the necessary sensors to create this one of a kind controller. I have to say, it looks great and it is certainly not beyond the capabilities of a moderately skilled techie to recreate.
