Etsy seller DigitalSoaps has you covered with one of their awesomely hygienic products. PlayStation controllers and my favorite the classic NES controller.

These things are quite geeky, and rather well priced so grab some hand crafted soapy love, while you can.
The soap bases are all natural and no animal testing of any kind is preformed. So give these things a shot.

MTV News coverd an interesting wedding in Orlando, FL recently. They were there to catch a Full Sail gradutes wedding on film, a Halo themed wedding. The wedding was a part of this year’s Otronicon festival, an annual video game festival sponsored by Full Sail University. They were ceremoniously united as “Teamates for life” by Master Chief himself. The bride and groom even went head to head in a tournament while the bridesmaids and groomsmen competed for the garter and veil.

This thing is pretty sweet. Fans of the game Portal will appreciate this fine piece of craftsmanship. Which is made from florist’s foam, wonderflex, bondo, PVC pipe, LED lighting, roll-feed paper spindle, an old drawer pull,  and coaxial cable connectors just to name some parts. Graphics were made in photoshop and applied with decal paper.

Wired has an interesting article about the plot to destroy Google. It talks about the companies that have gripes with the search engine giant and what Google stands to lose if these companies make changes in public perception of Google. It is quite an interesting read especially when you consider the companies that really feel threatened by Google, and how they would love to paint the picture that Google is “Big Brother”.

I am just re-posting this as it has been on a bunch of Diablo forums and fan sites. But the amount of thought that went into this is absurdly geeky. The amount of time that went into this is insane.

Read for yourself and see.

Weapons: Hit causes monster to flee 25%
Armor: Replenish Life +7
Helms: Replenish Life +7

Petric argued that Halo 3 made him insane.

17 year old Daniel Petric, of Ohio, killed his mother and wounded his father in October of 07, after they took his copy of Halo 3, is what the judge has ruled.
His defense team went for the insanity plea, which the judge rejected citing that he had been planning the shooting for weeks. He had to get his fathers key to open the lock box to his 9mm.

His father Mark, who was shot in the head and survived, testified that his son came into the room and asked: “Would you guys close your eyes? I have a surprise for you.”

He said he expected a pleasant surprise. Then his head went numb from the gunshot.

The Associated Press news agency reports that Microsoft, which owns the intellectual property for the game, declined to comment beyond a statement saying: “We are aware of the situation and it is a tragic case.”

He faces life without parole as a maximum sentence.
What do you think, what implications will this have on the gaming community if this becomes a large case with media attention?

World of Warcraft game moderators are watching you.

A 17-year-old Fairfield Twp. teen pretended to be suicidal when he became frustrated with an online video game, Fairfield Twp. police reported..

According to officials, the teen was arrested Monday, Dec. 29, for inducing panic after patrol officers and medics responded to the boy’s home in the 3000 block of Pimlico Court. The charge is a first-degree misdemeanor.

The panic? The teen had earlier approached a GM with threats of being suicidal if he did not receive some loot. Hoping the GM would be sympathetic, but rather he ended up calling the authorities. Serves the kid right.

So he gets no money, no weapons, just a court date instead. The full story is here.
