It’s been 13 years in the making, but Adam Savage’s man cave has produced what looks to be the closest replica to the ZF-1 from The Fifth Element known to man.

Savage has produced the gun as part of his ever popular Tested Series on YouTube with Mythbusters partner Keep Reading

For those of you plugged into the universe that is prime time television, Community will be wrapping up its third season tonight with an 8-bit episode dubbed “Digital Estate Planning.”

The episode will be part of a three part finale, which will last two hours, and will have 30 Rock’s finale squeezed in between (sure, why not).

According to TV.com, the storyline goes something like this: Keep Reading

It’s become something of a regular feature for us to spotlight some of the most popular and dynamic females in the video gaming and geek world. But never have we featured a female who not only possessed some serious gaming skills, but was a scientist with a Ph.D. in clinical psychology who specializes in phobias, trauma, and other anxiety-related illnesses.

Who better to answer many of the debates encircling the gaming world: Do video games cause us to become violent? Are they harmful to our health? Between science and Halo, which one would you pick?

We asked Andrea Letamendi (@ArkhamAsylumDoc) all these questions and more: Keep Reading

In what may be the most competitive industry not named competitive eating, the pizza industry has made no bones about one upping the competition, sometimes with fresher ingredients but most of the time with more hot dog and/or different types of cheeses.

But enter what may be the grandaddy of them all…and yes we do mean all: The Fuck You Pizza from “Pizza Hut.” Coming in at almost 14,000 calories, the fuck you pizza is big enough to sink a small submarine, yet not too filling for the man who hasn’t eaten in a week or a kodiak bear preparing for hibernation.

Photographer Patrick Runte labels the following series “Jump’N'Run” but we simply call it epic. There’s very little explanation needed, really, the collection combines moments from our favorite games, classics like Ballerberg, Pong and Space Invaders and shows what they could look like in real life.

As the guys over at petapixel point out, the art is an excellent touch, considering many current video games are trying to create graphics as real to life as possible, heck why not just come up with the real thing and see what Space invaders could look like in a loading dock or what Pacman finds in an open field instead of a busy arcade.

I’ll admit that I haven’t brought a lunch box…well, anywhere, for a little over a year. But that might be changing right about now, given the latest creation from Etsy extraordinaire Luke Blackford.

It’d dubbed rather simply “The Nintendo Entertainment System Lunch Box” and is reportedly made out of an old console and hallowed out, so you can fill it in with your favorite lunch time cuisine.

Facebook is now on the brink of an Initial Public Offering that has the company valued at up $100 Billion. That’s well over enough to cover the national debts of Cuba, Guatemala, and Panama put together. Facebook’s initial offering will price shares between $28 and $35 (perhaps as some outlets are reporting as high as $38). Facebook is a $4 billion company, with a nearly 50% profit margin. And it is growing at over 75% per year.

With 900 Million users, facebook is the “third largest country” only behind China and India in terms of its “population.” Facebook’s users are also highly active, averageing 20 minutes per day on the site, which comes to 16,000 years of Facebook. At almost 1 billion users, each Facebook user is worth about $100.00.

One video game development team was faced with a challenge that inevitably haunts any development team sooner or later:

How do you keep gamers engaged and interested in a video game for an extended period of time? Also, how do you make it interesting and deep enough so that users want to RE-play it?

The answer for the development team on Malevolence: The Sword of Ahkranox came, believe it or not, partly in the form of Kevin Bacon. More specifically, the ability to make plausible connections and correlations with people and ideas. Keep Reading

Fans of The Jace Hall Show are more than familiar with the cast and crew over at Epic Games (lemonade, anyone?) and today we have a cool announcement from the guys themselves. To celebrate their 20th anniversary making epic…games…they are giving away some of their most popular scores available for download on their site.

They’ve hand picked and remastered a soundtrack that includes some of the 1337 originals like Jazz Jackrabbit to today’s Unreal Tournament - even a few surprise tracks that have never before been released! Keep Reading

What if materials could defy gravity, so that we could leave them suspended in mid-air?

This is the question one MIT researcher is asking and could be answering with a new computer controlled levitation system dubbed ZeroN.

The visual system is similar to the kinect, using software that enables the computer to move a steel ball around in space, or a human to just grab it and move it, “overriding” the computer system and telling it where it should go. Keep Reading

It was a little over two years ago that we received a letter from a reader who all but felt like giving up on his dream of being a video game developer.

Then he became a fan of The Jace Hall Show…

Dex Robinson said :

Before I started watching your show, I was starting to think that everyone in the game industry was just hard ass, non joking, unfriendly, snobby people. Keep Reading

For every male that has ever kicked a girl out of their treehouse, due to the timeless mantra that ‘no girls are allowed’, prepare to meet your new fate.

A High School in Oregon is developing classes that are dubbed NBA or “No Boys Allowed.” These range from Math and Science to Woodshop.

“Just because we’re girls doen’t mean we can’t do the same thing, if not better…we’re perfectionists more than them,”
says one student. Keep Reading

While driving to work today, listening to the pangs of Rihanna echo through my radio, I couldn’t help but think there’s got to be something else/another choice. I turned to another station and got less of Rihanna, but more of the same…some girl probably too young to drive saying that ‘she’d call me’…maybe (I wait with baited breath).

Despite the rather monotonous and homogenous tunes filling the proverbial airwaves, I find solace in knowing that once I have an internet connection, I can fill the void of my music woes with nerd rockers like Kirby Krackle (I don’t listen to Jace Hall at the office…his music at least).

In an effort to expand the gamer/geek lifestyle Keep Reading

The last remnants of the Empire have been defeated, and it is a period of peace in the galaxy. The Jedi Order, no longer needed in their role as defenders, have scattered across the stars and started new lives…while the Sith wait quietly hidden in their midst.

Such a Jedi and her Sith counterpart have found common ground and established a new business together on a remote planet. United by a love of animals and a belief in the force, they have rededicated their lives to the art of grooming. Keep Reading

What happens when you combine goths, vampires, and Magic the Gathering? For those of you who said Tim Burton, you’d be half right (please cite any and all Magic The Gathering references, below).

If you’re Karla Von Guerram your answer to the above comes in the form of Going Nowhere Show Productions of “Goth Problems,” starring the synth sounds of Plushgun.

The video was inspired and subesquently parodies “Hot Problems” the music video starring two girls who ironically aren’t hot, yet apparently Keep Reading

To those of you who thought May 5th was just another holiday promoting sloppy drunkenness, you couldn’t be any more wrong. Sure this Saturday is Cinco De Mayo, a holiday supposedly celebrating  Mexico’s victory over the French Army but in actuality allowing frat guys to get slightly more wasted than usual and throw a sombrero into the mix.

But This Saturday, May 5th is also Free Comic Book Day, which like Cinco De Mayo is a pretty simple translation.

For those of you in the Los Angeles area, members of The Jace Hall Show team will be at Meltdown Comics casting for Fan Wars, giving fans a chance to prove their comic book geekdom in the series starring Stan Lee, Jace Hall and other comic book legends. Keep Reading

It’s no secret that losing weight has become one of the primary focuses for not just geeks, but anyone with a waistline they’re less than comfortable with.

But leave it to one geek, who says he lost 65 pounds, to formulate a weight loss plan that fits the gamerlife and doesn’t force you to make any radical sacrifices nor take any potions Suzanne Somers is making 20% on.

Craig Engler’s new book, Weight Hacking, is a “how-to guide” for geeks who want to lose weight and get fit. What makes a weight loss plan for geeks any different from someone who isn’t a geek or is only pretending to be one? Good question. Keep Reading

If you’ve ever drinken too much Red Bull and/or a generic energy drink to the point where you’ve lost all coherent understanding of the real world, the new Perfect Strangers “video game” dubbed “Nothing’s Gonna Stop Me Now” might bear a familiar resemblance. For those of you who were around in the 80′s or at least were walking on all fours, you’ll remember that Perfect Strangers was one of the most popular sitcoms on television stretching over 150 episodes for 8 seasons.

But the magic is reborn in this video game which basically has you run through a series of tunnels, capturing stars along the way and asking you “how close can you get to your dream,” using the show’s epic theme song “Nothing’s Gonna Stop Me Now” as a backdrop. Keep Reading

In the grand spirit of binding contracts and monthly surcharges, Microsft appears to be making a bold move to making sure every living room with a couch has an Xbox 360 in it. Like amazon’s push to sell kindles like hot cakes in an effort to monopolize the book industry and make themselves the sole distribution channel for book purchases, Microsoft is reportedly dropping the price of the Xbox 360 (yes the 4gb version) with Kinect sensor for $99.

Of course the kicker is that you HAVE to purchase a 2 year subscription to XBL Gold, which is $15/month, with early termination fees if you decide to pull out of the contract. Keep Reading
