Siftables from MIT – domino sized computers to take over world

, Mar 17th 2008 Discuss [0]

This little half-domino shaped/sized squares are actually individual really tiny computers. You build them together to add functionality to whatever pieces you already have. They each have a bunch of component in them starting with a 20MHz AVR processor and full color OLED screen on the top. Then they have tactile/haptic drivers, a 3-axis accelerometer, built in flash memory, and rechargeable Lithium-Polymer batteries. Read The Full Story

No 4-player co-op for Lego Indiana Jones after all

, Feb 22nd 2008 Discuss [0]

Earlier this week when I reported that the upcoming Lego Indiana Jones title would support 4-player co-op, I admit that I had my doubts. I really couldn't picture myself trying to coordinate my actions with three other people in my living room throughout the entire game. Apparently there's no need to worry  about it, as the game will only be 2-player. Read The Full Story

, Feb 6th 2008 Discuss [0]

The only thing this guitar is missing is the strings. The Pick-ups, bridge, and all that other stuff are already built in. Read The Full Story

Believe it or not, the LEGO came from Denmark, 50 years ago today, and its been a long successful run since then, and they are still going strong. Their products have ranged from random groups of LEGO’s all the way up to specified kits to built the ship from some movie that was just released. Read The Full Story

Check out this Wii (not-a) lightsaber

, Nov 23rd 2007 Discuss [0]

Technically, it can’t be a lightsaber, because that requires licensing from Lucas Arts and blah blah blah buearocratic BS. Anyways, it’s a “Light Sword” that your Wii remote clips into. There aren’t yet any proper Star Wars games for which to use this sword with, but there is Lego Star Wars: The Complete Saga. Or you could use it with any other games that have some swording action, like the mythical Fencing 2k8 from EA sports, yeah right. Read The Full Story

, Nov 9th 2007 Discuss [0]

Alright, so Lego Salt and Pepper Shakers are not exactly hi-tech, but they fit into that cool geeky nitch that I enjoy so much. These shakers are enough to turn even the most chic kitchen into a geek one. Read The Full Story

If you've been reading SlashGear for any amount of time and don't know by now that I'm a Star Wars nut, then you're not really paying attention. This fact of course means that I'm getting pretty excited about the upcoming Lego Star Wars: The Complete Sage game. Read The Full Story

Huge LEGO Millennium Falcon – Over 5,000 pieces!

, Oct 1st 2007 Discuss [1]

I love pretty much everything that is Star Wars. Except Jar Jar Binks of course, but I don't think anyone really likes him. I also have a love for LEGO's. In fact, I still have my childhood collection in my closet. Naturally, my favorite sets are those that feature some of the famous ships from the Star Wars universe. I think that if I had a larger place, I would probably have to get this new Millennium Falcon set. Read The Full Story

Lego iPod Dock has speakers

, Sep 25th 2007 Discuss [0]

They call it a dock; I would argue that it doesn’t dock with anything. It just connects to the speakers inside the Lego case. I wonder if you can add real Legos to it? Probably not, but that would be kind of cool, then you could build it into an actual dock, oh well though. Read The Full Story

Master Chief has been on a lot of new frontiers, the latest is Lego

, Sep 20th 2007 Discuss [0]

Lego artist Nathan Sawaya is a genius, nearly a god, I encourage you to check out BrickArtist.com, anyways his medium, Legos. Not paint, or clay, Legos. This time he made a Lego sculpture of Master Chief from the infamous Halo video game. Not only did he make a sculpture of this gaming icon out of Legos, but he did it in time lapse all without instructions or a guide or anything, just laid out a bunch of bricks and started going at it.

Lego Star Wars Clock allows you to build Star Wars scenes and tell time

, Sep 12th 2007 Discuss [0]

The package comes with the clock, and a Chewy and Storm Trooper figurines. The clock itself features a light/snooze button as well as a timer of sorts. So, you can build an X-wing or something like that to place on top of it, or you could just carefully position the included Storm Trooper and Chewbacca on top and call it done. Regardless, some might recommend you just set this clock on your desk, I say the geeks finally have a Flavor-Flav style clock for them. Read The Full Story
