Ila Dusk Personal Alarm Review

Mitch — Fri, 09 Jul 2010 11:00:55 +0000

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!

Note from the video: The 3 year battery life refers to the device being on standby – there is around 10 minutes of battery when in scream mode.

This next video has the screaming sound – it’s a bit loud so you may want to be careful if you have headphones on. FINAL WARNING – LOUD.

The Ila Dusk Personal alarm – it’s small, it’s pretty and it’s loud. It is very easy to activate and ,thankfully, turn off, and will be of great piece of mind to many females who want to feel a bit more secure when out and about. You can pick one up for £19.50 from M&S, Next, New Look and handpickedcollection.com.

The Next Downfall?

Mitch — Mon, 05 Jul 2010 15:30:59 +0000

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.

A How-To Video: Build Your Own Geek-Fort

Von — Mon, 12 Apr 2010 15:29:30 +0000

Guest Post from isntit

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 Video Nasties

Mitch — Thu, 25 Mar 2010 13:46:00 +0000

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?

Next we have one that might hurt your head a bit. It is from the film ‘Derailed’ and features Sam Douglas – who played a detective in Heavy Rain – as a detective. The game makers captured his likeness very well!

And to conclude, back to the despair…

If you have yet to finish or play the game, avoid clicking on the videos to see comments as they are full of plot spoilers. Bah the internet!

Homemade Coligun

Von — Wed, 13 May 2009 11:26:32 +0000

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….

The Friday Hi-Ex: In Spaaaaaace!!!

Interceptor — Fri, 08 May 2009 12:29:22 +0000

An oldie but a goody for this weeks explosion-in honour of the fantastic new Trek movie, here’s a nice scene where the peace loving crew of the Enterprise blow some poor bugger’s head clean off. Ah the 90s, It was political correctness gone mad, mad I tell you!

Play Him Off, Keyboard Cat

Von — Tue, 05 May 2009 19:40:28 +0000

While Interceptor writes interesting, relevant posts and reviews the latest lacklustre blockbuster, I bring you a video of a man falling down an escalator and a cute, happy cat playing the keyboard. Evidently, adding Keyboard Cat to any fail video is what all the cool kids are doing these days.

Destined to be the next rickrolling, or a fizzle and pop of a meme? Who knows? Play him off keyboard cat!

Iron Maiden Week – Cover Version Theatre

Interceptor — Tue, 28 Apr 2009 16:31:14 +0000

Before you think we are just using this to show a bunch of crappy videos, check out the sheer professionalism on display here. This man obviously lives and breaths the Maiden, and his dedication to perfecting his vocal tribute shines through. Truly, a tribute in the truest sense of the word…

Kiss Shred!

Von — Fri, 24 Apr 2009 13:21:53 +0000

This is the greatest video ever put on YouTube. Kiss playing their well known hit -’I Will Never Go To School’ – We’re a bit late on the uptake with this one, being around since last year – but more people need to hear Peter Criss yell ‘Aah! Wow, Oh Bobby!’ – It will make lives better.

Cool, Very Cool.

Time for some awesome. When we here at Electric Spectre think about Antartica it usually conjures up images of Kurt Russel fighting shape shifting aliens. This time we have some kick ass time lapse video of the cold continent in all its glory. Looks nice there. I should go.
