Project Nomad: An ATV with Legs

Filed under: Design, Transportation

How old school do you like it? Project Nomad takes you WAAAAYYYY back. Back to the days when going out to get a steak was more complicated than just stepping out to your nearest grocery store.

Jason Battersby’s Project Nomad is a vehicle concept with a twist. Instead of the standard wheel-based movement system, Nomad is operated with a set of four legs, much like an animal mount. The vehicle itself is controlled much like a motorcycle. Hit the jump for more pics and a video preview.

TweetCraft: World of Warcraft Twitter Client Let’s You Tweet While You Gank

Filed under: Gaming, Internet, Software

tweetcraft

Instead of only being annoyingly childish in Barrens chat, now you can tweet all of your testosterone-fueled Chuck Norris quotes to the entire world using TweetCraft, the first Twitter client for World of Warcraft, just like nature intended.

TweetCraft not only allows you to tweet and receive tweets in-game, but allows you to tweet snapshots from your gaming experience, queue tweets for convenience and even auto-tweet whenever you log-on to the game. Who knows how long this unofficial client will last. Blizzard has been known to put their foot down in several similar situations.

Follow us on Twitter to join the convo, @gearfuse. We’d love to see your WoW tweets, or really, whatever you have to say.

Real-Life Transformer Robot Turns Into Motorcycle

OMFG. I was sure this day would never come. And now that it’s here I’m not sure whether I should be thrilled or if I should prepare the construction of my robot world domination safety shelter.

As you can see, the Norton Commando Transformer robot by Steve Twist is a full-on real life Transformer. In only seconds, the coughing Norton bot becomes a functioning motorcycle. You’ve gotta watch the video to believe it.

Game Boy iPhone Pouch Case Reminds You of the Good Old Days

Filed under: Cellphones, Design, Gaming

Remember when Bush number one was president, the dust from the fallen Berlin wall had barely settled and a little handheld gadget named Game Boy ruled supreme? The Game Boy iPhone Pouch takes me back to the days of laying in bed for hours, trying to beat my own high score of Tetris.

I’ve been one of those bare back iPhone users. Letting my phone get some air doesn’t seem to have caused much damage, though the awesomeness of this pouchy case is calling my name. Either that, or those voices are back. Maybe I should get my medication dosage checked.

As geeks, we have slightly skewed and sometimes inappropriate ways of handling stress. Most of the time we like to mix in some humor with our mourning. It helps to lighten the mood.

This keyboard mod memorial renames the “Caps Lock” key the “Billy Mays” key. Your loud, boisterous voice will forever live on in our hearts and keyboards, Billy.

Having trouble creating characters for your next best-selling fantasy novel? Never fear. The Characters for and Epic Tale Postcard chart is perfect for such a situation. Everyone is there, main and side characters, from “the hero” to “the magic cow” (actually not quite familiar with that one).

I can’t tell you how many jams this thing has gotten me out of.

Old School Wooden Ruler With Digital Display

Filed under: Misc. Gadgets

People need to measure stuff. There’s no denying that. And to the best of my knowledge, doctors still aren’t removing splinters out of your schlonger for free. So it is with a great relief that the old school wooden ruler has finally wizened up and gotten itself a digital display.

Push down on the edge of the device  to mark where you want to measure and the ruler’s circuitry does the rest.

I hear that rulers are also useful for purposes other than measuring your junk.  I remain a skeptic.
