The Evolution Of Video Game Controllers [Infographic]
Ahh... video game controllers. If you are like a lot of geeks, you can graph your life based on what video games you played at the time. I remember being a little kid sitting in a bean bag chair in the cold basement of my parent's house for hours playing Frogger with a simple joystick controller. I ...
Audio Gaming: Pew Pew Is Still Packing A Punch
I just love it when someone thinks outside the box for a change. We're already seeing all of these first person shooters packed up on the shelves at the game store. Do we really need another game just like the sequel before it? I mean, sure, it has better graphics and a better or different story ...
A Mini Cooper Turned Into A Badass Gaming Chair
Playing games has become an art form, and we're constantly trying to break the boundaries of the technology at hand. We're constantly trying to come up with new concepts that will astound the buyers and ultimately put the game on the top of the charts. Doing that doesn't always involve just coming ...
Kinect SwimBrowser: Surf The Internet Doing The Breast Stroke
We all know what great exercise swimming is. When I first read about this, I thought, "Great! Now we can swim, get exercise and surf the web all at the same time." That's true if you can hack your Kinect the way David Stolarsky did.
For the 2011 PrimeSense/OpenNI Developer Challenge, he created ...
The Kiss Controller: Video Game Controlled By Smooches
Well dang, this could be better than Kinect! Instead of using your body as the controller, you use your tongue. Ok, maybe it's not better than Kinect, but it still looks like a lot of fun. This little gadget combines two of life's guilty pleasures, kissing and playing video games. That's right, ...
NES Beads: The World Of NES Games In Stop Motion Beads
It's been done for many years now, and it comes in several different forms and shapes. The materials used are always different, but the technique used is the same. You move around some stuff, take a picture, and then you do that again a couple thousand times until you have your finished movie. Eve ...
Interesting Facts About The Angry Birds Magic
Just like there was a special edition of Angry Birds for Halloween and Christmas, there will be a pink foo-foo romantic version released for Valentine's Day coming soon. However, if you sat on the couch all night on February 14th feeding your addiction to Angry Birds, wouldn't that lead to a very u ...
The History Of Gaming: From Oscilloscope To Virtual Reality
I have always wondered how people can ignore the power of gaming and say it's utter play. Of course it's play, but one must not forget that it is because of play that we have the technologies we have today, no matter what it is. It's from the trials and errors that we have developed into the speci ...
This Is Jada: The First Working Badminton Robot In The World
Sports have always been the main activity for kids to get their butts out the door. For grown-ups, it's a bit different since with age we seem to slow down on the activities a little and become couch potatoes. But with technology changing, we are getting some really cool and nifty things that will ...
Now The Troops Can Enjoy Playing PS3 Even If In Battle!
Over here at Bit Rebels we don't exactly have time to sit around and play all of the awesome games that get released every week, but we certainly keep track of them as best we can. Sometimes I wish I had a cool arcade cabinet at the office just like Diana (slightly jealous). But if I had one, I'd ...
The Illest Custom Made Retro iPad Arcade Cabinet Ever!
The iPad gets more and more retro for each new technology it adapts. This is, I know, quite a weird statement, but I can assure you that it has a point and quite a solid one. There are new apps and games coming out for the iPad every day, and since it was released, it has become somewhat of a post ...
How To: Pimp Out Your Car Super Mario Style
Are you a Super Mario fan? Mario completely invaded my life about a year ago when my son discovered him. Ever since then, Mario and all of his friends seem to be a permanent part of my house. Whether in the form of a Wii game, a Nintendo DS game, a stuffed animal, a shirt, a screensaver... they a ...
The Real Murder Game Controller: Gone Too Far?
I was a big gamer back in the day, but back then, ten years ago, it was different than it is today. Since then, I've kind of lost interest since so much of the games are all about killing and violence.
I agree with what Richard said in his article "The $7,000 Arcade Bowling Game Is Here!" He sa ...
Eagle: The New LG Concept Cell Phone Redefines Pong!
I wish that this was more of a tutorial about how to create a concept cell phone cause there are a slew of them on the Internet. Each day new and exciting concepts are released upon the world, but most will probably never see the light of day as a real product that we all can buy. However, that's ...
Portal 2: A Puzzle Game Worth Checking Out!
I knew in the back of my mind that in the beginning of next year, Valve planned release Portal 2. However, it wasn't until I watched this trailer that I got excited about it. I remember the original Portal from several years back, and it was a fun little puzzle game.
However, Portal 2 looks com ...
