Gameboy 8-bit Camcorder (video)

Rather than letting their old Gameboy games console just sit in a draw gathering dust, an inventive modder named “kraettz” has used theirs with great effect to create a portable 8-bit camcorder.

The Gameboy 8-bit Camcorder uses a GBA, GBA TV Converter and a portable video player with an the onboard 40GB hard drive to store its recordings. The unit may not be the 200 megapixel Hasselblad H4D-200MS we featured yesterday, but this 8-bit camcorder records footage at a fantastically retro 320 x 240 pixels in the purest grey scale 8-bit beauty.

Replica Cyclone Motorcycle From Robotech Stays True To The Original

Posted: 26 May 2011 10:30 PM PDT

A long time ago (the mid-80s until the  early-90s to be specific), a multi-volume animated saga enjoyed  a huge following among otakus and geeks alike. This was Robotech, the anime equivalent of War and Peace in terms of scope and sheer epicness. Robotech follows a story arc that puts Halo to shame, chronicling Earth’s unending struggle for survival against waves of alien invaders. Oh yes, it also featured not one, or a handful, but dozens of iconic mecha that still linger in the wildest nostalgic fantasies of true believers to this very day. Among those cherished mecha is the transforming Cyclone bike.

Chinese Prisoners Forced To Farm MMO Gold

You may recall the occasional story about inmates receiving the right to play video games in the clink. This is sort of like that, only instead of playing it’s more like farming and instead of a privilege it’s slavery. Prisoners in the Jixi labour camp in the Chinese province of Heilongjiang would perform their allotted task of breaking rocks by day and rack up virtual gold by night, which the guards would then sell for profits to the tune of ¥6,000 ($924) a day.
