Six years ago, UK resident Buzz Knapp-Fisher set out to make the most eco-friendly vehicle he possibly could. Unfortunately, as a wise frog once said, it isn’t easy being green, especially for this poor car. The Womble Truck might not be the prettiest thing to look at (in fact it might be one of the ugliest), what it lacks in ...

WoW addicts will be happy to know that there’s a way to take your addiction to the road. At least that’s what is alleged. Apparently it’s possible to run World of Warcraft on the iPad via Dave Perry’s non-commercial (yet) Gaikai game streaming service, which somehow bypasses Apple’s imprisonment of Flash and combines Java, Flash and Silverlight to create a ...

LEGO has made official film-branded minifigs, such as Star Wars and even Toy Story, but they have yet to delve into the world of video gaming, which is actually sort of a mystery. So what are we geeks forced to resort to? Buying custom video game minifigs created by other geeks. These gaming minifigs by assorted artists can be found ...

Not going to star in my games anymore under ah-me, Mario? You want your own fame and-ah fortune? You want to-ah split from the family business? We’ll-ah see about that. Don’t even try getting out of the game Luigi. Bad things might happen to you. Very bad things. If you want to see this design on a purchasable tee, head ...

Equipped with some circuitry, a webcam, a NXT LEGO Mindstorm set and plenty of time on his hands, Branislov Kisacanin created Tetris-Bot, the first (to our knowledge at least) LEGO bot to be made specifically to play Tetris. Sure, Tetris-Bot has only made it to level 1 so far, but I think it might just be biding its time. First, ...
