Enter the Matrix! Could the ‘VirtuSphere’ be the future of gaming?

Screw Project Natal, Playstation ‘Move’ and the stupid Wii-mote tracking systems, I WANT ONE OF THESE IN MY LIVING ROOM!
This over-sized beehive ball is called the ‘VirtuSphere.’ This kind of technology enables players to step out of reality and into a virtual 3-D gaming world. The VirtuSphere tracks you’re body’s movement using a wireless head-tracking camera visor worn over your eyes, as well as a light gun with peripherial tracking. The sphere enables users to actually walk as their character in the game and detects the players’ path of direction while playing.
Pretty neato! Maybe I can use this to start my training as a SECRET ASSASSIN!

Awwz! Nintendo Gameboy Pillow
Can it be nap time now!?


Buy it here at Dawanda for 99 of these “€” things!
If anything screams ‘AWESOME!’ and ‘LET ME PLAY,’ it’s a kid with tourettes at Chuckie Cheese. But aside from that, it’s gotta be this adult size Nintendo Gameboy pillow! I would sleep with it every night if given the chance. Someone give me 99 of these “€” things plz!
[I'm totally kidding. I know those are euros.... now.]

Real Life Portal Guns!
I’m loving this video of a real life Portal gun. My one complaint: I don’t have one for myself.
Seriously, where can I get one?
What would you use a portal gun for if you had one? Would you use it to be lazy and go through walls instead of doors? Or make the front of a drive-through window go directly to your kitchen?
Modern Warfare 2 Releasing New Map Pack

On March 30th, Modern Warfare 2 fans will be able to purchase a new MW2 map pack on XBL to cure their case of ‘mapathy.‘ What is mapathy you ask?

The Future Is Here and it Brings JET PACKS!
You guys, I almost peed my pants when I saw the video of this thing flying. JET PACKS! SERIOUSLY! And only $90,000. I don’t need a house or car, I’ll live in the sky.
Take a look at the site here.
And it gets better: You can be a Test Pilot! If only I could get to New Zealand and have (what I assume will be) a large amount of money.
My only concern about this model: Where do I put my groceries after a quick flight to the store?
Halo: Reach Multiplayer Beta Trailer Will Give You A Heart Attack
Let me first start off by saying JETPACKS and ASSASSINATIONS! Holy mother of Anakin. As if I wasn’t already excited about Halo: Reach before, I’m now about 2-steps away from jacking some Seattle college n00b’s Vespa and riding it all the way to Kirkland, WA to find Bungie Studios. I want the Beta and I want it RIGHT NOW!

Can you wait til May, 3rd?

Nintendo DSi, I Want You
Motion-tracking 3D with the DSi camera:
Holy eff. Motion tracking, how much do I love thee? Let me count the ways. This makes me want to smash my regular Nintendo DS on the groud. STUPID PIECE OF TRASH! YOU MEAN NOTHING TO ME NOW!
I VANT DIS SEW BADD!
Gimmie!
Because I am awesome and want everything with buttons or a USB port, I’ve developed quite the wishlist only someone like me can be proud of.

I stumbled upon this little guy here, who is not only adorable, but he’s a flippin’ flash drive! How awesome is that! Fruitshop – Bone Collection made a wide variety of cute little guys that plug into your computer, some are animals and some are cute figurines! Click here to view the full collection or visit their store on Amazon! Someone buy me this one! Plz?! :)
The 72 Hour NewEgg Sale
GAHH! It’s already half way over and I have barely even glanced at it!

All I know is that I need a small, new LCD monitor and the Samsung 18.5″ on the NewEgg is $169.99. $70 bucks off feels like a deal, but I don’t know if I have enough time to make a decision! ALL THIS PRESSURE! I hate how long it takes me to go through with this stuff, I always have to shop around and read reviews and be 100% sure that I’ll be happy, then reconsider again and blah blah blah… Dang it. Maybe next year.
The Dishwasher: Vampire Smile
No, this is not about Robert Pattinson happily smiling at you while doing your dishes, so all you Twilighter idiots can go hyperventilate someplace else!
The gnarly, 2-D side-scroller ‘The Dishwasher: Dead Samurai‘ was a violent blood bath fest on XBLA. For some reason I never brought myself to play it. Despite the fact that my list of games to play is more or less turning into a 5ft long pirate’s scroll, (YEEAARGH!) I’m extremely motivated to play it now that Ska Studios has released the trailer for its sequel ‘The Dishwasher: Vampire Smile.’
Looks insane! :D
