  • Life Lesson: Never Question A Gaming Girl. Want An Example?

    This post is two-fold. First, for all the real gaming girls out there I will say that I respect the ever-loving hell out of you. This society may be run by nerds now, but I am sure some of you get plenty of flak from other groups of women sometimes for what you love to do. Nothing beats having a good video game conversation with a lady that knows her shit.

    Second, this goes out to the guys who walk around and make fun of women who have video game themed t-shirts or other apparel and you question if they are just wearing it to be “cool” in today’s nerd world. Be careful what you speak out of your mouth.

    Rae Johnston is the lifestyle editor at Techlife.net and someone made the mistake of questioning her gaming knowledge one fateful day while waiting for coffee.

  • Check This Out: Michonne: Impossible Shirt

    Here is a good way to pass the time while waiting on The Walking Dead to return in February. Order yourself this insanely awesome shirt mash-up from Shirtoid.com. I gotta hand it to whoever made it, this is one great design for a shirt, poster, keychain, underwear. Heck, put this design on a coffee mug and I would think about buying it and I hate coffee.

  • An electric vehicle cheaper than the Leaf, more stable than the Batpod.

    Introducing the world’s first gyroscopically stabilized, two-wheeled all-electric vehicle: The C1 from Lit Motors. Or as I like to call it, My Next Car. 

    Notice the clip of the C1 getting jerked around by a Jeep while keeping its balance and staying upright. The idea is that even in an actual crash it would bounce off, screech a bit, and keep going.

    If it sounds like something you’ve seen in movies, you’re right. There are actually several features of the C1 that have ties to the big screen.

    • Super-stable 2-wheeled vehicle = The Dark Knight’s Batpod
    • Remote controlled by smartphone = Batman’s Batmobile and The Dark Knight’s Batpod
    • HUD display built in to the windshield… you heard me. = Remember the car Tom Cruise sported in MI4 with the touch screen windshield… that, but without the “touch” capability.

    Other great features:

    • top speeds around 100mph,
    • 0-60 in 6 seconds
    • a range of about 200 miles/charge

    All packaged into a sleek design that will launch in 2o14 for about $24,000, but will drop to $12,500 by 2018.

    In summary, its awesome and I want one.
