I don’t know shit about this video other than it’s awesome and the guy is using a custom MIDI drum setup to beat the Dragonforce song that’s on Guitar Hero 3. Very cool. Link

Jack Newton is a fan of science. A dedicated fan. His decision to permanently print a portrait of the world famous physicist Stephen Hawking on his leg not only proves his die-hard attitude towards science but also demonstrates his excellent taste in body art. The tattoo – complete with a Monty Python line from the classic Life of Brian film ‘He’s not the messiah. He’s a very naughty boy’ written underneath it – has already won two trophies at tattoo...

If you own a Playstation 3, get your ass on over to Radioshack.com or a retail store. They’re offering $30 DualShock 3 controllers for all your gaming needs and since they normally retail at $55 a pop, you could most definitely buy up a few and sell them later. Either way, it’s a win-win situation for PS3 owners today. Sale ends tomorrow. Link

Even if you’re a vegan and you keep clear of any consumables that at one time were living, breathing creatures, that doesn’t mean you can’t enjoy the great American holiday that is Thanksgiving. Does the sight of a stuffed and beheaded turkey on your table disturb you? Then decorate your Thanksgiving dinner table with a papercraft turkey. It’s fun because, much like a real turkey, you get to prepare it yourself. What makes it better is you don’t have to... Continue reading

After reading the 208 page novel, all you’ll need to do is wait for the next Nor’Easter and you’re ready to build a house that isn’t affected by sub-prime mortgages. Suh-weet! Link

The Internet is a glory hole of custom PC cases like this hideous Volkswagen case and this case with a face. It’s also a great place to find what DIYers (like Japan’s Akiba PC) are up to next. Having finished their SEGA Saturn case mod, the crew of Akiba PC turned their attention towards the late, great SEGA Dreamcast. What resulted is the dreamiest Dreamcast ever. With a Sony Blu-ray drive, an AMD mini-ITX mainboard with 780G Chipset, an ATI... Continue reading

Get ready for some news that will blow your fucking mind. Ready? CD sales are down. I know! Down? How could this be? The execs at Atlantic Records feel the same way. Seems during Q4, Atlantic Records had 51% of all sales come from non-physical sources like iTunes sales and ringtones. The New York Times found it “shocking,” so what does this mean for us? It means more and more people are transitioning to iPods and MP3s over Walkman and... Continue reading

It seems like Mac users are always getting the shaft when it comes to specific software and games that are released for the PC. It’s a bummer, considering how excellent Macs are. Here at Gearfuse, we’re big about two things: Apple and going Platinum. Oh, torrenting too. As thanks for Thanksgiving day, µTorrent has released its BitTorrent client for Mac users. The Mac version only runs on Leopard/Intel Macs at the moment and may still contain serious bugs. It’s still... Continue reading

Black Friday is upon us and already the insane deals out there are making people act crazy. A worker at a Walmart in Long Island, NY was trampled to death after hundreds of people smashed through the entrance. A woman also miscarried after getting caught up in the ensuing rage.
