The Choice is Up To You, But You’re Still Wrong
Do what you like, but State Farm would definitely help you cover that. So let’s try this again. Would you rather: 1. Spend the evening taking a nice warm bubble bath? Or 2. Spend the night shivering in your basement trying to thaw your frozen pipes with a hair dryer?

Sigh. Are You Sure?
You could just get yourself some insurance and, like a good neighbor, State Farm will take care of it for you. How about this instead? Would you rather: 1. Hang out with your incredibly supportive family? Or 2. Hang out all night on your family’s incredibly unsupportive sofa, because you’re afraid to sleep at home?

You’re looking at a micro-projector, a credit card-sized device with a projector head of 1 cm3, and it could change the way we play and share our portable games. Developed by Lemoptix, a spin-off of EPFL, working with the Maher Kayal Laboratory, this micro-projector isn’t simply a concept; it’s a real product, capable of projecting…

Final Fantasy XIV Opening Cinematic
I absolutely adore Final Fantasy’s animated cut-scenes. They are a wonder to behold. Too bad the games don’t ever seem to live up to them. Here’s a look at Final Fantasy XIV’s official opening cinematic, which is just stunning.

Sure, two Boba Fett tattoos on one arm may be “a bit much”. But when one is a 16-bit rendition of New Zealand’s finest bounty hunter, that’s OK in our books. This gentleman was spotted at last month’s Star Wars Celebration in Orlando, and while the inspiration is surely Lucasart’s excellent “Super” series of games…
