Quillit 3 In 1 Pen Is Perfect For Enthusiastic Scribblers

Posted: 19 Mar 2011 05:03 AM PDT

What happens when a bunch of monkeys are locked inside a room with these Quillits? Given time and a few tablets they might just come up with the complete works of Shakespeare and some artistic masterpieces besides. Thanks to the regular pen, brush stylus, and nib stylus packed into this little cylinder, nothing is impossible.

Apple Gets Heat For Anti-Gay App

Posted: 19 Mar 2011 05:00 AM PDT

It sucks to be caught between ultra-conservatives and the gay community. Apple must be feeling the pinch thanks to an online petition by a non-profit LGBT group called Truth Wins Out (or TWO for short) wanting a particular anti-gay app removed.

Holy Lex Luthor! Kriptonyte Kandy!

Posted: 19 Mar 2011 04:14 AM PDT

Yes, yes, that should’ve been candy with a “c.” But we like getting your attention so it was intentional. Moving on, pictured below are the glittery rocks from Krypton, the one single weakness of Superman. Of course it’s not real but if you wanna impress your geeky friends, learning how to prepare these edible rocks is a good idea.

Drill Powered Sharpener Is Ridiculous Fun

Posted: 19 Mar 2011 03:44 AM PDT

Instead of pulling out that pocket knife for some swish-swish sharpening, stick this contraption onto an electric drill and sharpen away. Such is the joy and fun of this new drill sharpener from C.H. Hanson, which was discovered at a hardware store recently and it has proven a mighty fine geeky toy since.

Horn iPod Dock Is Ridiculously Huge

Posted: 19 Mar 2011 03:34 AM PDT

We’re not sure if this falls under the category of furniture or installation art, but it’s quite the headscratcher. Trust us, if you found this Horn dock in a corner without an iPod attached you’d probably think it was some fancy shmancy speaker, which it is, without guessing its true purpose.

Opinion: Why Dragon Age 2 Should Be RPG Enough For Any Old Guard Bioware Fan

Posted: 18 Mar 2011 09:04 PM PDT

Having grown up suckling at the teat of Baldur's Gate, Icewind Dale and Planescape Torment, booting up Dragon Age 2 for the first time doesn't feel like coming full circle as much as missing the end of the circle and going off into a spiral. And while you sometimes miss the deceptive simplicity of a circle, spirals are pretty awesome because they have the potential to go on forever.

Xbox Live Arcade Small Potatoes For Zynga & Farmville

Posted: 18 Mar 2011 07:52 PM PDT

Some people manage to put food on the table by developing for the Xbox Live Arcade. Some people do that by developing exclusively for Xbox Live Arcade.

NGP Digital & Physical Games To Be Released Day & Date

Posted: 18 Mar 2011 07:20 PM PDT

Sony’s definitely one to work harder at succeeding where they previously failed, the NGP itself is proof of that. And they’ve hardly had a more stinging or recent failure than the PSP Go. You may remember it as that digital-only console Sony made and then released UMD-only games for.

Blizzard Hoping For Knights Of The Old Republic Success

Posted: 18 Mar 2011 06:38 PM PDT

So it turns out Blizzard can not only produce a masterclass in MMOs, but also a masterclass in… class. Narrowly following comments by EA that World of Warcraft was in some respects like a shopping list, the Blizzard riposte was to wish their rivals well and remark on how a bigger pie means bigger slices for everyone, or something to that effect.
