PLANETDAMAGE

A couple of you guys have sent me the link to this ThinkGeek tee, so here you go, why don’t you just go ahead and order me, size S, the blackest black available. Lovely steampunkiness for the tired, rainy office days.

Cptamorf (blog, deviantart) knows me and my love for modular soft synths, touchscreens and electro, so he says “you’ll so NEED this” and sends me this video. So what do I need now, two Kaoss Pads or this?

Artemy “Optimus” Lebedev is back with another concept for a new-gen keyboard, the Optimus Tactus. Not yet haptic, the keyboard is actually bestowed with an iPhonesque touchscreen capability, meaning most of the user-ended design issues are basically on the interface side: buttons can be any shape and size, making this a wonderful addition to Supple++. If you hadn’t known Supple++ before, that’s basically a software support system for users living with motoric disabilities - they are given tests (they have to click, drag and do various other tasks with the mouse) and then the whole Windows interface changes according to their limitations, e.g. if they have problems dragging the cursor through the screen, the distance between buttons diminishes. Imagine the same thing with the Tactus. Amazing. (via gearfuse)

P.S.: And as for the lesbian lolitas, they are obviously T.A.T.U., so grab this, Nas ne dagonyat, from the first LP.

I’m either applying for an armored company SUV or my favourite yellow hazmat suit I haven’t actually ordered some ten paydays ago or so. Order three and you get a lady free. Picture originally comes from Fauxred’s feed, Hazardous Conditions.

Diablo 2 and its expansion pack was the first game I ever bought for money. (I’m a fucking liar, Might and Magic V, the French cyberpunk B.A.T. and some other mindless masturbations on floppy disks came earlier. But this was the first game I bought and then played a LOT. Compared to myself, at least.) And I might be buying a second set, just for backup.

The good thing is, it never really got boring. The gameplay - continuous looting and grinding, that becomes boring after a while and the labyrinth jungles were just a hassle. But the music, the whole atmosphere, it just got you going on. And no game, no game got ever close to this, not Titan Quest, not Sacred, not the other hack and slash games that got published throught the years and then died off in misery and solitude. (One coffee does that to your stylistic glands, you know.)

But now, it’s all butterflies, songs and brutal, virgin-raping hellfire. Blizzard has just announced Diablo III and following the news, it’s going to be full-3D, environment-interactive and as far as I know, the Barbarian and the Witch Hunter Doctor (thx, Korovjov!) are two classes to be featured. (Funny thing, on one of the forums there was this guy who wrote my friend works for Blizzard so I payed him a dinner and asked him to tell me everything. And basically the guy told him what we know now and obviously noone believed him before :D) Now that’s some awesome news for today, just to start a terrific Saturday

A szerkesztőség még mindig nem hajlandó elhinni azt az apró tényt, hogy tényleg kipróbálnám a nyomokban tóriumot tartalmazó Doramad radioaktív fogkrémet (Auergesellschaft, Berlin), de ez igazából nem jelent semmit, mert a chicken pussyk egyike sem hajlandó hatvanezer forintot eldobni azért, hogy Pripjatyban fotózhassuk le magunkat a ferris wheel előtt, majd azt a képet nézve csikorgathassuk akkor már nem létező fogainkat egy narancssárga színkóddal jelzett karanténban valahol Ózd mellett, homlokunkhoz szorított fogfúróval. Pedig volt ilyen.

A fogkrémre írt magyarázószöveg szerint a radioaktív sugárzás javítja a fogak és az íny természetes védekezőképességét, a baktériumokat hazapöccentik, a mosolyunk fehér lesz, csak ne használjuk sokat. A vicc csak annyi, hogy míg a tórium alfasugárzása nem hatol át a bőrön és például a tórium-alapú gázégők használata teljesen biztonságos, addig szervezeten belülre kerülve az alfasugárzás beköszön a tüdőnek, a vérnek és a májnak, külön-külön is. Dawe, köszönöm az ötleteket

Every single site from Gizmodo to Ubergizmo thinks that the Emperor workstation mod by NovelQuest has something to do with the Star Wars Universe. Nothing about neural induction links and operator HQs, obviously.  As for the specifics, those will be released on the 24th of July. I am so ordering one of these. As you can see, it has three monitors, also surround sound, air filtering, light therapy, webcam and battery backup. I can’t also miss saying,

At the press of a button, the Emperor’s tail section (the large articulated arm that holds the monitors) rises to allow the user to be seated, then lowers back into position the three monitors at the perfect height and angle for perfect viewing comfort.

Yes, yes. Everyone added this as blockquote. (Link sent by PinkTsunamii, thx)

The Yamaha-branded DEUS EX MACHINA concept is a motorcycle exoskeleton with 7 artificial vertebra and a pneumatically attached helmet. The motor is in-wheel, powered by ultra-capacitors and doped nano-phoshpate batteries similar to those already used in hybrids. It’s also capable of 0–60mph in three seconds. Top speed is 75mph with a recharge time of 15 minutes and cycle time of one hour, adds Hell for Leather.

The concept was created by Art Center College of Design student Jake Loniak and according to Engadget, that’s an electric, single passenger, vertically parking, wearable motorcycle, and the bike would theoretically be controlled via 36 pneumatic muscles and 2 linear actuators.

BART HESS: fur and alternative bodies: I really believe these are the fashion furs of the future. Why kill an animal and re-form the fur into a shape? Why not have the animal already shaped to your body, have it living and breathing around you, like the shoes. (link @ we-make-money-not-art, via grinding)

TIM SMIT: get stylish when at war: Who says protecting yourself from sniper attacks or chemical warfare needs to be ugly business? Certainly not Dutch designer Tim Smit. His “Urban Security Suit” will be all the rage in a war zone near you. Made of stylish neoprene and strategically lined with body molded kevlar, this runway show stopper will be THE must have accessory for your next war, skirmish, struggle, conflict, combat zone or civil strife you find yourself in or starting.

DMITRI ARBACAUSKAS: fetish gas masks at their best: each gasmask has been converted from tools of warfare to reflect more epic forms- gods, spirits, monsters, and demons from many different cultures. Each gasmask piece is also wholly unique- while the studio may do a variation on the original design, they will never make direct copies of an original piece.
