British Schoolgirl Gets Cyborg Hand (Video)

Posted: 28 Aug 2011 11:51 AM PDT

Chloe Holmes lost several fingers after a nasty bout of smallpox in her infancy. We’re not sure which hand was affected, but until the age of 15, she had to make do with dull prosthetic replacements. Thanks to a sizable financial investment, Chloe has an extra fully functional hand. After spending 38,000 quid on a new bionic hand, Chloe can now consider herself a cyborg. In fact, she might want to start calling herself Chloe Ironfist.

Hi-Tech Lab Hard At Work On Next Generation NASA Space Suits

Posted: 28 Aug 2011 11:44 AM PDT

The space shuttle might be consigned to museums, but NASA is still earnest in its bid to provide the best equipment. This explains why Draper are hard at work on a new spacesuit concept. The goal is to allow astronauts to work better in zero gravity conditions. So far there are no available images of what a protype would look, but a test arm will be unveiled in the coming months, next year latest.

Klingon Themed Monopoly Out Soon (Video)

Posted: 28 Aug 2011 11:37 AM PDT

‘Soon’ as in pre-orders go live come November. In retrospect, it was inevitable. The intergalactic warrior race have now been given their own Monopoly game. Not sure if you have to speak Klingon when playing Monopoly Klingon, but the promotional literature is awesome. Detailed replicas and an ‘authentic’ chancellors cane are just a few of the juicy items locked within each set. Not sure if players of Monopoly Klingon will come to lows, but every game will surely be intense.

This Is Called The n.a.p.

Posted: 28 Aug 2011 04:00 AM PDT

After staring at it for the better part of half an hour, we still have no idea what to call it. A couch or a bed couch? Never mind. The n.a.p. comes with a LED reading light and enough space for printed material–even a cup of coffee. It does look cumbersome, however.

Elder Scrolls V Skyrim DLC Timed Xbox 360 Exclusive

Posted: 27 Aug 2011 04:07 PM PDT

PS3 owners can at least be thankful that the whole game isn’t a timed 360 exclusive for more than a year, like the last Elder Scrolls game. Not to mention a month is barely even enough to scratch the surface of content in an Elder Scrolls game. Or would be in the classic entries in the series. These days it’s hard to be sure.

Razer Claims Upcoming Blade Is “World’s First Gaming Laptop”

Posted: 27 Aug 2011 03:48 PM PDT

Whoever said Razer is the new Alienware wasn’t far off. Alright, it was us after going through the spec list for this thing. In fact, we might be a bit off, because this thing doesn’t really look like Alienware’s usual fare, i. e. some sort of Goth Cylon. It even looks a bit… grown up if you ignore the radioactive green branding.

GameStop Pulling All Deus Ex Human Revolution Copies From Shelves

Posted: 27 Aug 2011 12:38 PM PDT

We hope that whole “any publicity is good publicity” thing works out for GameStop, because its senior management seem to have it framed on their office walls, possibly with floral pattern borders. To be fair, the decision seems to have come from both GameStop and Human Revolution publisher Square Enix and we can’t imagine this will stop anyone from actually getting the game.

SnuzNLuz Alarm Clock Donates Money Unless Killed

Posted: 27 Aug 2011 12:15 PM PDT

Not killed in the sense that it’s destroyed, but killed as in the person wakes up and turns it off. Such is the genius of this WiFi-enabled gadget from ThinkGeek. In case you’re still wondering about the name, it’s a corrupted for of Snooze and Lose. People who actually buy this must be afflicted by an extreme case of attraction to beds.
