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, ...
Finally! A Remote Control That Finds Itself
How many times have you lost the remote control in your house? A lot, right? I see it on Twitter all the time. People send tweets that read something like, "If I were a remote control, where would I be?" Of course, it's always funny to read where they end up finding it. It's usually in a strang ...
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 ...
Mario’s Best Friend Yoshi Is Now A Zombie!
I really like Yoshi. He's a precious little cutie, so when I saw this zombified version of him, it was a little disturbing to me at first. I found myself feeling like I needed to protect him from the evil people that lurk in the world, especially those that want to turn him into a zombie.
Donal ...
Which Gaming Console Is The Most Energy Efficient?
The Electric Power Research Institute Inc. (EPRI), a nonprofit organization that conducts research and development related to the use of electricity, recently did a study to determine which gaming console is the most energy efficient between the Sony Playstation 3, the Microsoft Xbox 360 and the Nin ...
Bling Bling! The Bejeweled Xbox 360 Kinect
In today's society, there are two ways to definitely know if you've "made it." First, if there is a WikiLeak about you, you've got it going on. Secondly, if someone covers you or a gadget you've created in Swarovski crystals, you've made it for sure.
We've all seen the iPhones, fancy cars, cake ...
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 Stay Puft Marshmallow Man In Rare Form
I can't decide if this is cute or creepy. It seems Jason Freeny is at it again. Last month, he created a 3D anatomy Super Mario sculpture that showed Mario's insides. Richard wrote an article about it, and since I've always thought Mario was kinda cute, I liked it.
However, this time it's a li ...
Finally: A Health Benefit From Playing Video Games!
Well Halleluiah! Finally someone has proven that there is a health benefit to playing video games, well, if you have a lazy eye that is. Typically, people that have a lazy eye have to put a patch over the good eye in order to force the lazy eye to become stronger. It's a long grueling process.

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 ...
Pretty In Pink: The New PlayStation 3 Wireless Controller
I'm a gamer, a girl and a geek. I love the color pink. I remember when I wrote about this pink Juicy Couture Keyboard. I was so excited to finally see some fashion and style added to our desk since we spend so much of our day sitting there.
Now for the gamer girl who wants to kick her boyfrien ...
Back to the Future: The New Gaming Series!
I've always been interested in time travel, I've written about it before on Bit Rebels. When I was a little kid, I turned my closet into a time machine. I would go inside, sit in a chair, close the door, and pretend that when I opened the door and came out, I would be in the future.
When I was ...
Disturbing Comics To Make You Laugh (or Cringe)
I'm a big comic book fan. I'm hard to please though when it comes to comedy, so my favorite comic strips are usually the ones with dark, unexpected, even gory humor. I like those comics that take familiar happy characters and turn them into something completely different. Those are really the onl ...
These Super Mario Characters Are Zombies!
I totally dig the whole zombie/vampire culture. I think it's a lot of fun. I don't like it as much as the couple that went so far as to have a romantic zombie wedding, but I love the movies. John Carpenter's Vampires is a classic that will always be one of my favorites.
Yesterday Richard wrote ...
Hundreds of Rubik’s Cubes Create Colorful Pixel Art
I've got a very serious question for you. Which would be easier - solving a Rubik's cube or creating this Rubik's cube artwork? Hmmm... Now that is something to think about next time I get two sides finished and then get stumped on the rest.
Actually, if you look closely at this Rubik's cube pi ...
