[ Tue, 4 Sep 2012 15:32:08 GMT ]

[ Tue, 4 Sep 2012 11:08:50 GMT ]
We’ve got this story out of the Penny Arcade Expo -- It may not seem like the serious interplanetary science being done by NASA and the entertainment provided by video games would have much in common, but a team from NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory says that, more and more these days, the two go hand in hand. The team is not only using game technology to help us earthlings get an up close look at the latest mission to Mars, it's also using game technology to help better control NASA's robots and rovers.

[ Tue, 4 Sep 2012 10:17:40 GMT ]

'Ultima Forever' wants you to be good
[ Thu, 30 Aug 2012 15:21:48 EDT ]
Making a video game espousing the virtues of compassion, sacrifice and spirituality doesn't sound like a winner in today's battle-happy gaming environment. But 27 years ago, it was exactly the type of game that caught the imagination and spurred excitement in gamers.

No time for a baby book? Not so, with these sites
[ Mon, 3 Sep 2012 14:49:28 GMT ]
With my first child, I bought a traditional baby book and brought it with me to the hospital to fill out all the details. For my new guy, who’s at the sixth-month mark, I haven’t even thought about a baby book until now. Such is the life of the second kid. Fortunately, it’s easy to get caught up with these websites.

Gamers get a lightweight laptop with real muscle
[ Sat, 1 Sep 2012 06:03:34 GMT ]
If you own a serious gaming laptop then you know that the word "laptop" often seems more than a little inaccurate. You’d have to be a giant to comfortably hold one of these powerful machines on your lap and you’d have to be The Hulk to lug most of them around for any length of time. Gaming company Razer wants to change that with its new Razer Blade laptop -- a thin, lightweight computer that flexes a lot of gaming muscle.
