This week instead of the usual games and gadgets, we take a look at a personal alarm – the Ila Dusk from Ila Security. It is a rather sad state of affairs that this type of device needs to be on the market but it is reassuring that there is something out there that lets women feel at ease when out late or walking alone in an unknown area. This alarm is a bit different to others in the market looking rather stylish and discreet, as well as emitting a scream instead of the usual beeping noise. Check out the video below for some unboxing action , and keep reading for another video with the screaming noise in action!
This club of a mad clubber has a lot of potential for mischievous subtitle dubs. Could it be a rival to the mighty Downfall Hitler speech on YouTube? If anyone can translate it would be great to know what is actually being said.
Let me set the scene that will be familiar to anyone who sometimes geeks at home: several days ago I was well and truly up against it. Non Geekiness was looming from every angle, and to compound matters, I was struggling to keep focused. I knew that hard work and concentration were the only things that would ensure all my geeking was done on time, and to a high standard. To do this it would be necessary to build a massive fort in my living room using all of my furniture.
The results were immediately obvious. Within the isolated confines of my Geekfort I was able to get everything done with a minimum of fuss, crippling lower-back pain allowing. I knew then that I had to share my discovery with the world. Luckily when building my Geekfort I had been blessed with good sense and foresight, and had documented every step. Several joyless hours with Windows Movie Maker later, and I was ready to share the wealth of my knowledge:
Heavy Rain is a good game – but it can be a rather depressing one, especially if you end your first playthrough with a ‘bad’ ending. To perk you up here are a couple of fun videos (not nasty sorry, that was quite a misleading headline). First up: what if the film Seven was made into a game with Heavy Rain controls?
Hey kids! Like science? Well, you should, because with some bits of wire, plactic, lightbulbs and lasers, you can build an electriclly powered Coligun that fires a 42g steel bullet at 110 kp/h! According to our sources, it only cost about 100 euros to make too…
Wish I’d paid more attention in technology class….
