If the thought of dressing up in your finest Mon Mothma outfit JUST to attend ComicCon with the rest of the plebs seems a little too…pedestrian…for your liking, take heart. Rose Byrne, speaking at a Knowing press event, mentioned that some of her friends are auditioning for parts in the live action Star Wars TV […]
Ok, I’m still not sure why dedicated hybrid cars from Japan must have this basic shape (very similar to the Prius and, fortunately, not nearly as goofy looking as the previous Insight), but for those of you wanting an alternative to Toyota’s Prius, that alternative will soon be available, for thousands of dollars less than […]
Microsoft’s foldy Arc Mouse has been a hit ever since it first surfaced last year. I’ve gotten three of these for various laptops for myself, family and friends. It works well, the transmitter is small and easy to store on the backside of the mouse’s tail before folding it up and slipping it into its […]

Warner Brothers plans to reboot the Lara Croft film (and I use that term loosely) franchise that never actually went anywhere. You remember the first two movies, right? Well, erm, they starred Angelina Jolie, who, I’m guessing, has far better things to do with her time than be in another Lara Croft actioner. Like look […]
XSEED announced today their upcoming Nintendo DS title Retrogame Challenge, in which players must defeat the evil Game Master Arino by completing a series of challenges in (ficticious) retro games such as Cosmic Gate (think Galaxian), Haggle Man (a platformer), Rally King (driving game), Star Prince (like Galaga) and Guadia Quest (an 8-bit style RPG).
