Louisville Slugger Baseball Bat for the Nintendo Wii

September 28th, 2009 by Ally in Gaming Gadgets

lsw

There are plenty of Wii games around that require you to swing, well for those baseball themed ones, now you can really swing something.  This Louisville Slugger will give a far more realistic aspect to the game when you need to be swinging.  Of course this also means among kids that there’s more likely to be some minor injuries.  Then again, you don’t really have to buy something like this for the younger ones if you have them.  You’re obviously a worthy recipient of such an accessory.

Steampunk Arcade Machine gets a horror movie theme

September 27th, 2009 by Ally in DIY Gadgets, Gaming Gadgets

steampunk-monster-arcade-1_pqUuM_54

There is never a shortage of various forms of arcade machines.  Usually they are fairly simple in design, but this one is far from simple.  Instead this horror movie lover took his inspiration from the classic horror movies.  That in turn gives this arcade machine a steampunk look that most people could appreciate year round.  Even if it does have a design that some would only consider appropriate right around Halloween.

Joytron Singibigi, Old School in more ways than one

September 24th, 2009 by Mark R in Gaming Gadgets, Retro Gadgets

joytron_singibigi_cgWhat I like about the Joytron Singibigi is that it is very much old school. Not only does it bring back the days when video game controllers were actual joysticks, and buttons were concave and very big, but it brings back the wooden look.

Have you ever noticed that things made of wood are generally considered antique? I’m not talking about that Wal-Mart faux wood furniture which is nothing more than pulp with a plastic sticker over it, real nice solid wood.

It was about time that someone took that look and applied it to video games. I guess since video games took place in the age of plastic, we don’t ever consider ever giving them a wood finish.

Sony Bluetooth Stereo Headset Receiver for PSPgo

September 24th, 2009 by Edwin in Electronic Gadgets, Gaming Gadgets

pspgo-bt

Sony has your PSPgo’s best interest at heart by announcing that it will roll out its latest Bluetooth Stereo Headset receiver this Christmas Eve in Japan, although folks living in North America, Europe/PAL territories and Asian regions will have to wait until January 2010 to get their hands on it. Something tells me that import stores will make sure those arrive in time for some frantic last minute Christmas shopping outside of Japan, but I could be wrong. Here’s what the Sony Bluetooth Stereo Headset receiver is all about.

With a sleek design that matches perfectly with PSPgo, users will be able to enjoy a variety of entertainment content sounds comfortably through the Bluetooth wireless technology with the combination of a commercially available head-phone and head-set (head-set not included). The Bluetooth Stereo Head-set Receiver pairs easily with PSPgo by simply holding the power button of the Receiver, and operation buttons on the Receiver will also enable users to instantly play, stop, pause, forward, rewind, and adjust the volume of music and videos. Additionally, the receiver can be paired with up to eight Bluetooth devices by using the Multi Pairing Feature.

There is no word on pricing, but it ought to last for up to 6 hours of continuous talktime when used.

Audiovox offers rear-seat entertainment with PS2

September 24th, 2009 by Edwin in Audio/Video Gadgets, Gaming Gadgets, Vehicle Gadgets

audiovox

Holidays in the form of road trips can be fun if they’re well planned and if you happen to have generally well behaved passengers and a loving co-pilot who won’t get upset at you even though you don’t want to stop and ask for directions, preferring instead to rely on your navigational instincts (or rather, the lack of it), especially after the GPS system has died due to the lack of battery power. Audiovox could come in handy to defer the dreaded question, “Are we there yet?” for the umpteenth time by your once-bundles of joy in the back seat, thanks to their VOD10PS2 Mobile Video PlayStation 2 computer entertainment system.
