Robots are cool and the day we can invent a robot that will mow the lawn for me and do all that other crap I don’t like doing will be a great day for humankind. Until then we have to make do with much smaller scale robots that play games and let us have fun like the Robonica Roboni-i that is now available to purchase.
I have been out of college for a while now and back in my day, our drinking games were decidedly low tech and typically just involved keg stands and funnels full of beer. We never went all complex and stuff, mostly because drunkards are a lazy lot. Quirky has announced a new product for those looking to get their drink on, weird style called Lugecubes.

Well, this is different. The GAME-800 is an all new device that does just about everything you’d ever want a device to do. It’s all-in-one feature list is pretty impressive, but how will it stack up to the competition? Does it even stand a chance?
This handheld doesn’t make phone calls, but it can send and receive text messages, take and view photos and playback video. One thing that’s especially cool about is the NES/GBA emulator for all of your old school gaming needs and the MP5 player.
It has surprisingly good specs for coming from an unknown, with 4GB storage plus a microSD slot for expansion. Other connections include a TV output, two 3.5-mm headphone jacks and USB 2.0. It also features a 3.5-inch QVGA display. And you know what? It’s priced pretty decently at $69.99.

Experts were predicting worst to come on the gaming console.
