February 2, 2009Docking stations are nice if you use the laptop primarily at one location or have lots of things to plug into it that don’t move — input devices, webcam, monitor.

There are different patterns to tell your “Patapons” to do different actions. Square Square Square Circle is the command to move forward, whereas Circle Circle [...]
Were you a fan of M. C. Escher’s work? Ever wondered what it would be like to be in a world where the physics of Escher’s worlds actually work?

The Ant Commandos announced that they are releasing a PlayStation 2 to PlayStation 3 adapter that is 100 percent compatibly with all game controllers, claiming you can use your PS2 guitars with both Rock Band and Guitar Hero 3.
