Geek Central

Wow. It`s been a while. So to kick off my return, here is a nifty post regarding some tech and up and coming video games.

To start out, let's talk about some gadgetry that is beyond your normal day-to-day gizmo. First off, the USB Dogtag made of sterling silver. This thing is pimped! Of course, at the price their asking, there are different designs you can get and such.

Next, we have the USB to Wireless converter that takes your USB peripheral (printer, memory sticks, hard drives) and broadcasts it to your wireless network. This would be especially convenient for multiple PC homes or people who have a laptop.

Of course, you can't be a geek unless you advertise it. Enter the Zelda T-Shirt from ThinkGeek, a classic looking tee that announces to the world that you are going to save them and take the princess home.

Now I personally think the next two are completely awesome because I am in the business of seasonal retail. First is the GOAT2008 Hybrid Robotic Lawn Mower from Evatech This device is a robotic lawn mower that has numerous models and attachments. You can even equip a snow plow blade to it.

The next is a Flat Screen Fireplace similar to current electric models, but this one is thinner and can be placed virtually anywhere. It has a heater, too, so it outright replaces the current generation.

On to the video games. First out is Conflict:Denied Ops, a FPS that ships on Feb 12th for the PC, PS3 and Xbox 360.


Next is Army Of Two, is a cooperative third-person shooter that looks promising. Ships March 4th for Xbox360 and PS3.

And lastly, getting the WTF vote for the day, is Faith And A .45, a Bonnie and Clyde style third person romp around the roaring twenties of bootlegging, speakeasys and mobsters that go `Meh!`

I'd be surprised if it does well, but the concept is all there. Release date to be announced and so far it looks like it is destined for the PS3 and Xbox 360.

So that's the wrap up of geeky-goodness. Stay classy, internet.
