Your favorite ravenous worm-thing of the moment, Playstation’s version of The Hungry, Hungry Caterpillar, Noby Noby Boy, wasn’t quite our bag when we checked it out a few months. It’s a nice little game if you happen to be drunk and lazing around on the couch, but probably not worth the $5 it costs. If you’re a bigger fan of ...

Finally, an achievement anybody can earn, without even playing a game. The Xbox 360 Achievement: Red Ring of Death t-shirt rings a little too close to home for us Xbox gamers. Microsoft might consider adding an achievement, at least something good could come out of something altogether sucky. And that’s how my console became airborne. Link [via]

Speed, speed, speed. Check out these three videos to see the major speed boost firmware version 3.0 provides for the PS3, even for Blu Ray discs. Not to mention, it’s much prettier.

I have a confession. A few years ago we sort of lied to you by saying that the old NES Coffee Table was actually a coffee table. In actuality, it was more like a NES Controller trunk, not a proper table at all. Luckily, if you’re really, really into geeky household shit, there is currently a real NES Controller coffee ...

What up south paws? Gaming controllers got you down? Lack the coordination in your right hand to successfully tap out the X Y B A buttons? Who decided to call it the “right” hand anyway. We say, it’s the WRONG hand. UNH! In yo face! Master modder Ben Heck busted out this awesome swapped Xbox 360 controller, a controller made ...

We’ve loved almost every single Xbox 360 case mod we’ve ever seen, except the ones which are designed to glorify your fandom for the Twilight series. And seeing as we’ve only seen one Twilight-themed Xbox, I think you get the point. (We hate this damn thing) If you like this sort of crap (you might also like our great collection ...

While the Xbox 360 still has a few years left before you can dump it in the gutter with Grandma’s ashes, you know that Microsoft is already working on the design of the Xbox 720, which is likely to include the motion-detecting Project Natal, I might add. So… what could the Xbox 720 possibly look like? While this concept is ...

Not like you haven’t wasted enough hours on Nintendo. This Nintendo Rubik’s Cube features six sides of retro gaming goodness, including the iconic logos from six different classic Nintendo games including Zelda, Super Mario Bros., Pokemon, Star Fox, Kirby and Metroid. Link [via] (Thanks Eran!)

There’s not much you can do after you’ve lost all your money playing Texas Hold ‘Em. Can’t go out. Can’t order food in. You’re broke and left with a set of (I swear the damned things are cursed) poker chips. What’s a geek to do? Eureka! *light bulb switches on* An idea arises! You might be broke, you might be ...

Developed and built by robotics man Drew, this “walking machine” resembles a four-legged spider and walks with an unusual hoppish gait. Designed to entertain, entertain it does. Costing around $1000 to produce, one of the coolest things about this arachind bot is that it’s controlled with two sets of modified Wii Nunchucks. If you want to test the waters and ...
