A “Bomb” Alarm Clock. Good Luck Importing It…

By Malcolm Owen | Mar 26, 2007

The random browsing session last night yielded a strange, if fantastic, alarm clock. You see, it tells the time, it wakes you up, and the world continues to turn.
However.
This clock has what can only be described as a “Fun” way of forcing you to turn it off. It wakes you 3 minutes before it is [...]

Indie Velopment – Series on Making An Indie Game

By Malcolm Owen | Mar 21, 2007

Echelon Software (The gaming one) is a new indie gaming studio. Great. However, they’re new, and they’re still making a game called “Black Powder Red Earth”, a game focused on contracted fighters on Mars. On a budget of thousands. Yes, really. And to add more pressure to the proceedings, the guys at Gamespot are filming [...]

Jack is Back, Properly This Time

By Malcolm Owen | Mar 19, 2007

I know I posted in the past about the guys at Jellyvision kicking out a daily Dis or Dat, but now they’ve upped the ante a bit.
They’ve brought back Jack itself. Granted, it’s only a 7 question round (What do you expect for a weekly quiz), but the staple Dis or Dat and the [...]

Linkage – Cats that Rap, Robot Birthdays, Diet Fun and Bionic Offices

By Malcolm Owen | Mar 15, 2007

Some random linkage for the moment…
Rap-Cat – Originally, and still an advert, for a fast food chain in America. An odd idea, but at least it’s different to those McDonald’s ones. Heck, there’s even a song(?) to download too. Seriously weird.
Destructoid Turns One – Congratulations, you’ve made it past a year of life. Stupid amounts [...]

Review of the Mio C310S Portable Car GPS

By Justin Lee | Mar 13, 2007

The first idea of buying a portable in car GPS came to me after a few visits to Los Angeles for E3, with such a massive city I needed a GPS to navigate around. I would often pay about $5 USD to rent a GPS from Hertz; it just seemed like money wasted. So I waited for a GPS that got decent reviews to go on sale. Last week the Mio C310 SX (Called Mio C310x in the United States) had the price slashed by $100 to $250 CAD.

Non-Newtonian Liquid Fun. With Videos.

By Malcolm Owen | Mar 12, 2007

Everyone knows that the Japanese love weird, freaky stuff. That is a fact. Cue a video over at TV In Japan about someone putting a strange liquid into a speaker, and seeing it “Bubble” in a semi-paranormal way. If you remember that it’s inside a speaker and suffering a bombardment of vibrations, then you’ll see [...]

Tidy Your PC’s Internals. Do It Now.

By Malcolm Owen | Mar 7, 2007

Inspired by the John Chow Cable Folding Craziness, and prodded a bit by the BSOD and “Won’t Boot” scare from last night, I decided to tidy my own PC’s internals. I hadn’t done it in a while, and it gives me a chance to check all the connections to the drives, just in case moving [...]
