First Ever Commodore 64 LAN Party

Filed under: Gaming, Hardware, Software

For a software platform that was discontinued 14 years ago, the Commodore 64’s legacy and fan base is still going strong. The Cincinnati Commodore Computer Club’s held its 2008 C=4 Expo at the Drawbridge Inn in Fort Mitchell, Kentucky from June 28-29.

In celebration of the LAN party status at C=4, a new Commodore 64 game was unveiled, called NetRacer. Up to eight players can race together, either over the internet or they can LAN it up with some ethernet cartridges. A little late on its release, don’t ya’ think?

Nightclub On Wheels: So Fun, Only A Hummer Limo Could Pack It All In

Filed under: Design, Transportation

A nightclub on wheels should be no surprise in the day of Paris Hilton and Britney Spears. Laziness in return for luxury is becoming the norm around the A-List teeny-boppers, and a Hummer night club couldn’t make that any clearer unless then Hummer fell flat on your head (which would also hurt pretty bad).

The Triple Axle 8 Wheel Hummer is packed with two compete VIP lounges, dance floors and disco balls, gullwing doors, and a Level 5 sound system capable of bouncing the Hummer up and down like some hydrolyzed Celica. For £350 ($700) an hour, it’s no cheap ride, but it might be worth not losing your buzz as you drive from club to club. Take the jump for interior shots. (more…)

Nightglasses, Corey Hart knew what he was talking about after all

You didn’t realize the joke in “I Wear My Sunglasses At Night”, did you? Luckily for you, you now get to be the only person in the group of your friends to think that these glasses will make you as cool as Corey Hart. The glasses (not sunglasses) really show off their abilities when you step into the clubs with neon lights everywhere. The bars you see here aren’t the only designs offered; you can choose from different patterns, colors, and intensity. Please, don’t let anyone catch you wearing these darkglasses during the day. They won’t be helping you fight the sun at all, they don’t have any UV protection at all. Zip, nada. So how much will you pay? 30 euros say that you won’t be buying a pair of these anytime soon. –Nik Gomez
