The Samsung Series 7 Gamer Is One Effective, and Enormous, Gaming Laptop
At a hefty 17″, the Samsung Series 7 Gamer is not exactly what you might call “portable.” It’s a laptop that’s squarely in the realm of desktop replacement. The system specs say it weighs in at just under 8.4 pounds, but it’s still not something you’d exactly want to carry around. When I got it…

Batman Doesn’t Need These PC Case Mods for his Batcave Supercomputer. They’re For the Rest of Us.
I am looking forward to seeing The Dark Knight Rises this weekend, because I like Batman. He’s rich and spoiled and self-pitying, sure, but he actively went out and chose to take on the whole caped crusading business, and has to keep coming up with clever new tools to make it work. There’s no biology,…

Nothing works, nothing makes…

Your average Android phone is nice and portable, but the display sure is tiny. A full-sized Tegra tablet is a joy to work with, but a larger profile doesn’t make for hours of comfortable gaming. With its seven inch 1280×800 HD display, Google’s new mid-sized Tegra tablet is just the right size for hours of…

The World of Katamari Damacy Infused With Portal Looks Like This
I’m not sure if this is a case of Portal making Katamari Damacy cuter, or Katamari Damacy making Portal cuter. Either way, this mesh of two awesome video games is confusingly amazing. Expand the image for the full effect. Though, I’m not entirely sure how a video game featuring the two would actually work. I…

Mario Art Made Out Of Cotton And Felt Needs To Be On My Wall
These pieces of art, made perfect for your wall, were created out of cotton and felt and other fabrics. They’re part of an exhibit called “Sew Nerdy: A Geek Craft Extravaganza,” so these pieces will be on show until August 11th.

Here he is at this year’s San Diego Comic-Con, dancing with random cosplayers (including a male edition of Princess Peach and Princess Daisy) and making a general, hilarious…

Get Real Coaches and Players (and Accurate Dreadlocks) in NCAA Football 13
Roster editing is done in every simulation sports community but nowhere is it more important than in NCAA Football 13, which has to skirt amateurism requirements (and legal action) by auto-generating random names for its players. This requires a nonstop effort by fans to accurately name the rosters of more than 120 teams featured in…
