What Kind Of Idiot Tries To Sell Their Google Glass Explorer Kit?

You’re gonna buy it anyway, why not use it?

Apparently, a guy named Ed in Philly. Y’see, Ed got word via Twitter that he was one of the few selected to receive one of the first Google Glass headsets. This gizmo is so rare that people are being hand-selected for the opportunity to purchase one of them at the price of $1,500. So what happens when he finds out he’s getting one? He puts it on eBay.

Dragon’s Prophet (PC) Beta Preview: Yep, There Be Dragons Here

She likes to be out late, shake it on the dance floor. So does my human character.

Today I got to take a tour of Runewalker’s new MMO, Dragon’s Prophet, brought to American shores by Sony Online Entertainment, whom you may know of PlanetSide 2 and EverQuest fame. On first impression, those old familiar MMO waves crashed across the shores of my memory; clumps of players idled next to the town’s vital NPCs and exclamation marks hung over quest givers, but as they opened the game, I got to see what makes this game special.

‘iSteve’ Review: Don’t Watch This. Just Don’t.

‘iSteve’ Review: Don’t Watch This. Just Don’t.

Sure, he doesn’t look, sound, or act like Jobs, but… no, there is no but. It’s just bad.

I wanted to stop watching. This “hilarious” “biopic” of Steve Jobs by the “genius” “writers” at Funny or Die just kept going. It’s even eighty minutes long. It’s super stupid long. But what part got me going the most? What part made me groan the most? Maybe it was- well, let me back up. iSteve is not, by any means, a retelling of history. There are familiar names in familiar situations, but this “movie” is really little more than a series of poor sketches stapled end to end. It makes that Ashton Kutcher Jobs flick look like Oscar material.

Apparently, The Cupcake Is Dying

Apparently, The Cupcake Is Dying

Save the cupcakes! …nah.

When I still lived in Colorado, our roommate would often bring home a box full of gourmet cupcakes with the vigor of winning the first place trophy for The Ability To Purchase Cupcakes. He’d always buy far too many and before he’d have to be instructed to dispose of them, they’d just sit on the counter and rot, the ruined product of over-ambition. I didn’t realize that gourmet cupcakes were a thing, but apparently they’re not now, so the story goes.

‘Deus Ex: Human Revolution’ Devs Chat Up ‘Director’s Cut’, Wii U Gets Best Version

Everything’s had a second look, it appears.

Deus Ex: Human Revolution was my most-anticipated game of 2011 and while it was a solid title and one of my favorite experiences that year, it definitely had some opportunities for refinement. Well, as Eidos Montreal is chatting about below, the Director’s Cut on the Wii U will be the best version of the game.

‘Man Of Steel’ Trailer Is Magical, Almost Makes Me Forget How Lame Superman Is

Quicker than the ray of light, he’s flying…

Because everyone asked, everyone, including you and your grandparents, I’m giving a quick note to the new Man of Steel trailer that launched today. Gee, no one was bawling about the Star Trek one this morning, a sign of things to come?

Where Is The Jawbone UP XL Band At, For Us With Monstrous Wrists?

Where Is The Jawbone UP XL Band At, For Us With Monstrous Wrists?

So many shapes and sizes, except for the one I need.

Two nights ago, I was ready to pull the trigger on a Jawbone UP. I’ve been following these athletic “smartbands” for a bit, I’ve been getting along with RunKeeper for the past month and a half and the UP seemed like the best grab now that it has an Android app. Of course, it wasn’t long into my trip to Jawbone’s site that I had to exit without ever retrieving my credit card. Why? Because the bands are all too small.

‘Forza Horizon’s New “1000 Club” Is Must-Have DLC That’s Free And… Controversial?

People like to name their cars, can you blame them? This is Fluffy.

I’ve said it before, but I love Forza Horizon. If I weren’t obligated to work, live, eat, use the restroom, and other games, I might never stop playing it. Today made the fight even worse as Turn 10 and Playground Games just dropped some epic free DLC that introduces the “1000 Club”, which is literally a thousand new challenges. Of course, you can’t give away DLC like that without someone complaining.

‘Defiance’ MMO Not Faring Well As Trion Worlds Unveils Low Gamer Turnout

‘Defiance’ MMO Not Faring Well As Trion Worlds Unveils Low Gamer Turnout

Did you buy Defiance? Probably not.

When you think about it, six million hours of gameplay sure sounds like a lot of time. That’s the figure announced by Syfy and Trion Worlds in a joint press release (that I’ve included below) on how many gameplay hours had been invested into Defiance, the game half of the multimedia hybrid that’s also a show on the aforementioned network, but when you break it down, it doesn’t really seem like much.
