So, you thought Nintendo DS had nothing more to offer than some Nintendogs and Pur Pals? Think again, you wannabe veterinarian. A new Grand Theft Auto was announced exclusively for the Nintendo DS. Bringing a whole new storyline to Liberty City, Grand Theft Auto: Chinatown Wars will be your one (and only) chance to show those Triads that you don’t fuck around, you mean business. Being the first GTA title for the DS, you can bet there will be a... Continue reading

Holographic images are no longer exclusive to science fiction films thanks to the ICT Graphics Lab at USC.  Three-Dimensional displays have proven to be quite difficult to emulate, suffering from problems such as small viewing areas and high costs.  Using spinning mirrors, high-speed DLP projections and very precise mathematics, the crew at USC are able to display nearly 5,000 individual images reflected every second which come together to create a real-space three-dimensional object.

Some geek hacked his old 3.5-inch floppy disk drive to play the Star Wars “Imperial” tune.  Unfortunately, no documentation was made to show you how to build one yourself, so you’ll just have to suffer. Hey, it beats being taken to the Dune Sea, cast into the pit of... Continue reading

What if we told you there was a way to choose paper every time and never lose? If you can manage to create anything close to the Paper Wars... Continue reading
