Ten Badass Scars
I have a scar on my left shoulder blade from a backboard
I ripped off it's pole whilst hammering down a monster dunk over a friend in the
summer of '88. That's pretty badass right? I tell the story to neighbourhood
children after they poke my belly and yell "Fatty McFat Fat" over and over. The
keys to a good scar are placement and story. You could have a nice looking gash
above your eye that makes you...

Part One. Documentary about the Vikings. These pagans came from Scandinavia, and raided and colonised parts of Europe from the 8th to 11th century AD. Famous for their fighting prowess and seafaring ability, they were also reported to have travelled as far west as Newfoundland and as far east as the Volga River.

Scientists at Ben Gurion University in Israel are out to make detecting dangerous biological agents as simple as a pregnancy test with their yet-to-be-completed BioPen, which they say could eventually be in use everywhere from the battlefield to the veterinary lab. The pen uses a modified form of Enzyme-Linked Immunosorbent Assay (or ELISA) antigen detection to detect potentially harmful compounds, and can apparently also be used to determine if water is drinkable, along with ratting out environmental toxins, Ebola, Hepatitis B and C, Dengue, West Nile virus, and bird flu, among other nasty things. It works by taking a blood sample with a disposable tip, which is then automatically processed in the non-disposable cap, delivering the verdict in twenty minutes or less. Of course, they haven't actually gotten it into pen size yet -- for that, they're looking for one or two million dollars of funding -- but when/if it gets fully developed, they foresee the BioPen being a fairly affordable option, costing about $15 per test.

Office Depot Featured Gadget: Xbox 360 Platinum System Packs the power to bring games to life!
If you're an Xbox 360 arcade fan you must remember that Mad Catz Arcade GameStick we showed you a little while ago. We've some more details on this controller, which is meant to control all those classic games like Galaga, Street Fighter and Frogger.
The controller itself has a main stick, a smaller stick (corresponding with the right analog) and the same number of buttons as the 360. It'll work on any 360 game, and can even be plugged into your PC for Windows games. It'll retail for $49 in about a month. If you're looking for the authentic retro experience, this should fit the bill fairly nicely.
Hit the jump for package shot.

From OLGn.net:
"I once predicted the Wii was the future of video game consoles. I said, since the Wii changes how we play games instead of just how we view them, it would be able to overtake the Xbox 360 and PS3, which certainly go farther in terms of hardware power, but don't fundamentally do anything different than the original PlayStation...what really amazes me, however, is the public's almost unquestioning acceptance of the Wii's new terms of playing games..."
Callpod has introduced the Drone, a plug-and-play USB to Bluetooth 2.0 adapter. The Class 1 output is claimed to offer a range of up to 100-meters. If a user is listening to music when a VoIP call comes in, Drone will automatically switch to voice communication. The device supports A2DP and AVRCP profiles, allowing music from a variety of audio sources such as CDs, iTunes, or Windows Media Player...

Gibson's limited-edition
Robot Guitar was undeniably cool when
we played with it last year, and it looks like the sequel's going to be even hotter -- say hello to Dark Fire. The flame-red axe features a second-generation Robot tuning system can get up to pitch in less than a second -- and not only is it smaller and lighter than the weighty original, battery life has been significantly extended to 500 tunings on a single charge. Once you're in tune, you'll be able to make almost any noise you want with the Chameleon Tone system: in addition to a P90 and a bridge-mounted humbucker, there's a third piezo pickup in the bridge that can be blended with the standard units for what Gibson called an "incredible array of tonal possibilities." In case that's not enough for you, the Dark Fire also ships with the Robot Interface Pack, a powered breakout box that lets you integrate your axe into almost any digital audio workflow you can dream up: there's two quarter-inch balanced line outs, headphone out, FireWire (sorry, MacBook owners), and a special hex connector that carries the output of each string from the piezo pickup -- these can either be broken out into individual quarter-inch outputs or used to control MIDI guitar controllers with an adapter. Original Robot owners aren't being left out: Gibson says it'll upgrade them for "close to cost," after the Dark Fire launches on December 15th. Pretty wild, all in all, but we'll wait for pricing information to hit before we consider trading in our battered old Tele.

Nintendo's range of self-improvement games now includes one that aims to tighten facial muscles. We went hands-on to see just how silly it felt.
In ten years on planet Earth, Philadelphia's
Space 1026 gallery/venue/cooperative/ gathering place has pretty much seen it all. Diplo, Lightning Bolt, Daniel Johnston, Mirah, Bahamadia, and Need New Body have all played there. Plastic Little call the space home. MF Doom laid a bunch of tracks for the Viktor Vaughn
Vaudeville Villain album to tape at 1026, and a nascent Man Man recorded in the space as well. And that's to say nothing of all the art, some of which looks
pretty damned awesome.
So in tribute to ten solid years of creative mayhem, Space 1026 will dust off some of its finest work and put it back on display for
"Never Forget! Do It Yourself With Other People". The exhibit, which opens November 2 and runs through December 20, gathers pieces from the musician/artist likes of Johnston, Lightning Bolt's Brian Chippendale, Brendan Fowler (aka BARR), and Plastic Little's Jayson Musson, plus Dischord affiliate Cynthia Connolly, OBEY/
Zeitgeist guy Shepard Fairey and tons more.
In conjunction with the celebration, there will also be an art auction on December 7. Here's to ten more inspired years, guys!

BOLD MOVES: THE FUTURE OF FORD A new documentary series. Be part of the transformation as it happens in real-time
Office Depot Featured Gadget: Xbox 360 Platinum System Packs the power to bring games to life!
Filed under: Mac, PC, Action, Adventure
Next month GameTap will offer the adventures of Agent 47 (except for
Blood Money) for free on the service in sequential order. Although they say the original game is available Nov. 1, technically it's
available for free now. The series' gameplay became far more forgiving as things progressed, so depending on your tolerance for repeating a level over and over again, you may want to wait until
Contracts becomes available Nov. 15 for the softest experience.
GameTap says they have more in store on this, but that's the basics for now. We are curious to see how one of the GameTap retrospectives holds up to the
GameTrailer ones we've become enamored with.

Reggie Fils-Aime met with SF Gate reporters and editors to discuss Nintendo, the status of the gaming industry, short supply of the Wii, and the future of consoles.
SFGate: When you look at what other platforms are doing, is there a game that you say, "I wish we had that game. This might be a very interesting game on the Wii."
Reggie Fils-Aime: I've been very intrigued with LittleBigPlanet (from Sony). I don't know that it belongs on their platform. Microsoft has done well. There are a range of first-person shooter type games that are all very well done that could all do quite well on a Nintendo platform. Certainly, the Halo trilogy - anyone who would look at that and say, "No, I think we could live without it," probably doesn't think real long about this industry. Even games like BioShock. I thought that was tremendously well done. The writing was tremendously clever. I would love to see more of that type of content in the industry overall that actually makes people think a little bit.
