“Kara” demo highlights the future of gaming technology

Posted on March 8, 2012 | 1 comment

Heavy Rain developer Quantic Dream released a 7-minute video that has the gaming industry buzzing.

The clip, which David Cage, the head of Quantic Dream, unveiled on Wednesday at a Game Developers Conference presentation, shows an android named Kara becoming self-aware as she is being assembled, and desperately insisting that her sentience is a feature and not a bug. The role of Kara was performed by the actress Valorie Curry (Veronica Mars, The Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn Part 2).

The full tech demo video for “Kara” below is an example of how the creators of Heavy Rain are looking to expand virtual performances in video games.

And just to be extra clear: No, “Kara” is not Quantic Dream’s next game.

CIA Whistleblower talks about Heart Attack gun

Posted on March 8, 2012 | 1 comment

During Senate testimony in 1975 into illegal activities by the CIA, it was revealed that the agency had developed a dart gun capable of causing a heart attack. The dart from this weapon can penetrate clothing and leave nothing but a tiny red dot on the skin. Apparently the poisonous dart completely disintegrates upon entering the target. Watch her testimony below.

Conspiracy theorists are speculating that Andrew Breitbart may have been the victim of assassination recently. Many suggest that Mark Pittman, a reporter who predicted the financial crisis and exposed Federal Reserve misdoings may have been assassinated with a similar CIA weapon.

It all seems pretty far-fetched and more like a movie plot, but who knows. What do you think?

China Introduces Live Crab Vending Machines

Posted on March 2, 2012 | Comments Off on China Introduces Live Crab Vending Machines

Located in the Xinjiekou subway station, in Nanjing, China, this particular vending machine is full of live hairy crabs and crab vinegar, making it available to enjoy seafood on the go. Dumb idea? They are actually selling an impressive 200 crabs a day. They are generally cheaper than the crabs found at the local food markets, and buying them during their daily commute is saving precious time.

Depending on size, crabs can be bought for 10 RMB, 12 RMB, 25 RMB and 50 RMB. They all seem dead, but their actually just hibernating due to the low temperature in the vending machine.

My question is, how do they eat them on the go?

Shut up and just take my money

Posted on February 28, 2012 | Comments Off on Shut up and just take my money

This mysterious, tantalizing image of an unreleased Girl Scouts-branded Thin Mints Nestle Crunch bar showed up on the internet within the last 24-hours, but there’s no real information about it. However, the package is clearly marked “Cookie Flavors” so it seems as though this sales sample could be the start of an entire line of limited edition Girl Scouts candy bars. Until we know for sure, go buy some regular Girl Scout cookies here.
