DIY Tupperware Turret Is A Silent Killer

Posted: 02 Apr 2011 10:32 AM PDT

Don’t get us wrong: it’s 100% non-lethal. Well, maybe not against cockroaches.

Yeah sure, it might not look like much. But it’s actually a remote controlled (non lethal) air soft sentry gun that can tilt up to 45 degrees. Taking off the lid reveal the simple inner workings of the gun, which is propelled by a servo motor and has a built-in infrared sensor. Cool, huh?

The Reason Nintendo Really Don’t Want To Sell Phones

Posted: 01 Apr 2011 06:24 PM PDT

There are enough candidates for famous last words in this CNN interview with Nintendo’s Reggie Fils-Aime to fill up an ambitious Facebook quotations box. And all of them are on the subject of why exactly Nintendo won’t be producing or selling a handheld device that’s also a phone.

Back To The Future Episode 1 From Telltale Games Free To Download

Posted: 01 Apr 2011 06:10 PM PDT

Putting some effort into a well thought-out prank on this special day shows you’re clever. Giving out a genuine honest to goodness free lunch, or at least convincingly disguising a demo as one might just be a stroke of genius. Back to the Future might not have set any timelines alight critically on release, but Telltale games have this endearing habit of coming into their own an episode or two in.

Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim Has Dragons Flying Around

Posted: 01 Apr 2011 05:32 PM PDT

I don’t usually do screenshots. Writing about games is not and never will be the same as writing about pictures of games. Not even dragons usually constitute an exception to that rule. Dragons in an Elder Scrolls game, though? Not statues of dragons in the town square, but actual moving, flying dragons that you can maybe fight and, dare I even say it, slay? That’s worth breaking a cardinal principle or three.

How Sony Ericsson’s Xperia PLAY Launch Party Went Down

Posted: 01 Apr 2011 04:34 PM PDT

Most major hardware launches are ushered in with a righteous bash, and the Sony Ericsson Xperia Play’s was no exception. Sony Ericsson and their slightly mad decorators had taken over The Old Sorting Rooms last night and while the overall effect was a bit unsettling and disjointed, they could hardly have hoped for a more enthusiastic crowd.

DIY Machete Sling Shot Is A Gruesome Accident Waiting To Happen

Posted: 01 Apr 2011 01:08 PM PDT

All it takes is a snap of the rubber string, the machete dislodged from its place, and a casualty. After that it’s “Look ma, no hand!”

Seriously now, pictured below is a sling shot rifle the length of a musket that launches a machete. Yeah, we know—what the heck, right?

If the pictorial evidence is  a bit too grainy, forgive us, because twas lifted from an instructional vid where the jacketed man killed an innocent piece of cardboard to prove how deadly his creation is. He also cuts himself in the arm loading it, so kids, don’t try this at home.
