Pajaggle game has turned me to a Pa-junkie Posted: 29 Aug 2011 08:30 AM PDT Conventions like Pax Prime in Seattle are occasions that attract a lot of games, both board and electronic. One of the best games that I saw was this one, Pajaggle. Pajaggle is a game with a plastic board, made for pieces that fit precisely in place. That’s it. The goal of the game is to simply put the shapes in the proper place, in the least about of time. By the way, the player is supposed to put the big piece in the middle of the board in last, and say “Pajaggle”. As someone who loves it when things are in order, there is something very comforting about this game. There are other ways to play this game, like a game of triads where the Pajaggle pieces are put in groups of three. I have to say that the game is somewhat difficult as these pieces are laser-cut to fit in their one place, and some pieces fit in other pieces. It looks easy at first, but this game of shapes becomes difficult as some pieces don’t fit in as easy as they should on the first try. All in all, Pajaggle is fun for any age. It is available for about $29.99 from the Pajaggle online store. Check out the Coolest Gadgets 2008 Gift Guides, Christmas shopping made easy.

March 32nd, a new Internet series, shoots at PAX Prime 2011 Posted: 29 Aug 2011 08:15 AM PDT While I was at PAX Prime 2011 in Seattle, I discovered a game developer known as Chromed. Most booths at gaming conventions are places where the company allows gamers to play, but this booth was a giant greenscreen cube. The reason why is because they were using the attendees at PAX to be extras in their game, March 32nd. The game is planned to be a combination of a contemporary noir story in 12 episodes, and it is completely interactive. Apparently, every character in March 32nd is nothing more than silhouettes of different colors. Their booth was set up so that it could record attendee’s silhouettes, and they will eventually appear as extras within the game before its release next Spring. It really looked interesting, and I decided to try it out for myself. You know that scene in TV/movies where a guy casually leaves a suitcase behind so someone else can pick it up? I played the guy that dropped off the suitcase. Look for it in the game, as that is my silhouette. I had to sign off on it so my likeness could be used. I’m not certain how effective a game will be with nothing but silhouettes, but I am told that the game is told from the point-of-view of an amnesiac who sees his dystopian world in a crazy way. I can’t wait to see how it turns out, and I’ll be looking for me in it. Check out the Coolest Gadgets 2008 Gift Guides, Christmas shopping made easy.

Razer unveils the Blade Gaming Laptop Posted: 29 Aug 2011 08:00 AM PDT Last summer, at E3 2011 in Los Angeles, Razer unveiled their specially made keyboard designed to play Bioware’s Star Wars: The Old Republic. Now, in Seattle, PaxPrime 2011 was the place where Razer unveiled their Blade. The Razer Blade is a 17.3-inch gaming laptop that has a fast Intel Core i7 processor and high performance NVIDIA GeForce graphic processor designed from a lightweight aluminum chassis. The Blade also has a Switchblade User Interface, which has a has 10 adaptive tactile keys. Each one has the ability to be a tiny screen in and of itself. There is also a multi-touch LCD panel that is made to work like a touchpad, and it can display important gaming information like maps in MMOs. Razer claims that its Blade is a thinner than less than half that of current mobile gaming systems at 0.88 inches. It also weighs in at 6.97 lbs, much lighter than most gaming laptops. Other features include an integrated 60 Wh Battery, 320GB 7200rpm SATA HDD, Wireless Network 802.11 b/g/n compatible, as well as a built-in HD Webcam. As you can see in the image here, I could only get a shot of it under glass. I didn’t get a chance to try it out, and it will be available in Q4 for a price of $2799.99.

Parrot Asteroid for portable entertainment on the road Posted: 29 Aug 2011 06:30 AM PDT It seems that the Internet is more or less everywhere these days – even when you are driving around in your car, you cannot get rid of the presence of the Internet – although GPRS and EDGE connectivity might be in store for places which are more rural and have yet to establish 3G support. Well, Parrot, the name synonymous with wireless peripherals for smartphones and cell phones has just announced their latest model – the Parrot Asteroid, which is the next generation of car receivers that merge advanced hands-free telephony with access to web services for the first time ever. The Parrot Asteroid will be able to steer the future of Internet right in the comfort of the car, where it is a solution specially concocted to adapt to aftermarket and OEMs. This is also the first car receiver worked on by Parrot, where it will be powered by Google’s Android operating system. The moment it is hooked up to a GPS dongle (which comes along with the product) and a 3G key (that is unfortunately, not provided), to allow it to access various innovative web services. For folks living in the US, there will be a half dozen applications that will roll out later this October. Maps will be a cartography service that is smart enough to identify and locate points of interest which are close to the vehicle. Apart from that, you can always take advantage of the zoom function to let you dial sans hands, all the phone numbers of your choice. With Roadtrip, this is an itinerary service to touristic points of interest which vocally provides historical as well as meteorological information that are linked to the selected venue. You can also check out images which are displayed on the Asteroid’s screen, but make sure your eyes will still remain peeled on the road, too, of course. The Parrot Asteroid lets you enjoy music from a range of sources, such as a USB flash drive, an iPhone or iPod, any compatible MP3 player, or even from an SD memory card – and heck, even online radio stations courtesy of 3G connectivity. Expect to fork out $349 for the Parrot Asteroid – any takers? Check out the Coolest Gadgets 2008 Gift Guides, Christmas shopping made easy.

USB Vibrator carries your precious data as well Posted: 29 Aug 2011 06:00 AM PDT You know how to mix business with pleasure? Well, for those who want to keep their secrets close to their chest, this particular USB flash drive is definitely worth looking into. We are talking about a USB flash drive which not only boasts space on it to stash away precious data, and in addition to that, it also has a hidden function – which will keep the ladies happy, since this is a vibrator as well. Known as the Duet, the USB flash drive vibrator will be sleek in nature, sporting the ability for you to adjust the various speeds if you want to, and of course, it is waterproof. Otherwise, how else are you going to keep it clean once you are done with your private pleasure? Just how much storage does the Duet hold? We are talking about 16GB here, which is far more than what most of the other standard USB flash drives come with. Designers Ti Chang and Michael Topolovac did come to the realization that one of the biggest complaint from women concerning something as personal as vibrators would be the power cord issue, batteries, or having it come along with an obscure charging device. The whole solution? Well, a USB connector was thought of to be the solution, where you simply plug it into a computer or laptop and have it go. You might want to lock the door whenever you decide to spend a little bit of alone time with the Duet, otherwise you might literally be caught with your pants down – if you don’t dig skirts, that is. Since the ladies would be the ones spending most time with this, it will arrive in a range of colors. I would be a whole lot more wary the next time someone passes me a USB flash drive, of course, making careful note of its make and model to make sure it isn’t this particular version.

Retailing for $24.99 a pop, this particular iPhone case does somewhat function in the same manner as that of a Terminator skin for your iPhone.

Posted: 29 Aug 2011 05:00 AM PDT If you happen to be one of the millions around the world who owns an iPhone, then surely you would not have left it at that – all alone without a case at all, nor a protective screen cover of sorts to make sure that no scratches will mark it when you drop your precious phone or knock it against something else by accident. Well, why not make a meal out of the entire situation with the Thumbs Up Ear Case for the iPhone?
