This odd little gadget from Japan is perfect for placing subliminal messages in the background of epic rock albums. It#8217;s also good for recreating disturbing and surreal scenes from emTwin Peaks/em and emThe Shining/em.
Even though the product description over on Strapya World says em#8220;/ememThe things you can do with this machine have no limits!,#8221;/em from what#8230;

Now I#8217;ve not been shy in saying that the Gravity Gun in emHalf Life 2/em is my all-time favorite video game weapon. So when I heard about Namco Bandai#8217;s new Xbox 360/PS3 third-person gravity manipulation shooter emInversion/em, my curiosity was definitely piqued.
In emInversion/em, your primary weapon is the Grappler #8211; which is like a Gravity#8230;

MOCPages member/MGS fan/Brick master Rags naRock made cuter versions of GEKKOs, the nimble, creepy, bovine-like killing machines in emMetal Gear Solid 4/em, and they just make me wish for a LEGO Metal Gear game.
Check out the rest of the pictures, they#8217;re a real treat. It#8217;s nice how Rags naRock got their poses right. Watch#8230;

dragon controller for people who hate comfort

I#8217;m not sure about this horrible controller trend, but with the release of Brando#8217;s dragon gamepad, I think we can officially say that it has taken hold. It#8217;s either that, or a lot of gamer masochists are finding new and creative ways to hide their proclivities.
I have to admit, Brando#8217;s Fire Dragon gamepad would#8230;

Fred Fisher isn’t the only game-loving pumpkin carver out there that’s handy with an x-acto knife. Over on Deviant Art, user “ceemdee†posted a veritable cornucopia of video game art carved into pumpkins on her DA gallery.
I kid you not when I say “cornucopia†– there are video game pumpkins a-plenty, and they range#8230;

Zelda fans #8211; Looking for something to go with your new Master Sword #38; Hylian Shield? Here#8217;s a fun idea for some last minute Halloween decorations.

When it comes to games you can buy for just a dollar, Jon Keatley#8217;s emRun Away!/em should be at the top of the list. If there isn#8217;t a list of wonderfully cheap games, then maybe someone should make one, just so this game could be on the top.
emRun Away!/em is a simple game in which players#8230;

We can now add telepathy to the list of things that#8217;s possible thanks to the Internet. Researchers at the University of Southampton in the UK have demonstrated that it is possible to transmit thoughts from one person#8217;s brain to another person#8217;s brain using nothing but pieces of tape, a couple of EEG amplifiers, some special#8230;
