The Nintendo Necronomicon: The Nintendomoicon?
It turns out the Right Wing were right. Gaming is evil. Gaming is devil worship.

Nintendo announce the 2DS
Nintendo have announced a new handheld console; the Nintendo 2DS. The device, part of the Nintendo 3DS line, allows people to play 3DS games in 2D while enjoying most of the hardware. Why?

Will you back Project 2d8?
[Back this Campaign] This isn’t a Kickstarter. If you like the sound of the 2d8 project you can endorse without spending any money.

Homemade robot completes quadruple back-flip
Where have we got to with robotics? I’m sure sci-fi writers in the 1940s expected us to be much further along in the field than we are. That said, we’re progressing and have some impressive specialist bots these days and the field of home robotics is growing. A case in point is Robot Number 16. […]
Giant robot stalks Comic Con
If you’ve got the Stan Winston School and Legacy Effects to build a mech that’s nearly ten feet tall and your plan is to have it stomp around San Diego Comic Con then a great person to unveil the creation is Adam Savage. That’s exactly what Conde Nast’s Wired did. The robot is an impressive […]
