Everyone wants their own robot, and this one has that extra twist! It's controlled by the Wii Remote. They use it for playing tennis and wielding a real sword! Fun and very dangerous. Don't try this at home, unless you want to lose an arm or two.

Graphics Tablet Fun
Date: Thursday 4th May 2006 [14:22] | Posted By: Joe
Webcomics are great. I frequently read Applegeeks, and Gabe at Penny Arcade wanted to see some footage of Hawk (the Applegeek artist) drawing on his lovely Wacom Cintiq, it's basically a combination of a graphics tablet and a monitor. After watching the videos, I know our more artistic readers are drooling and probably want one! I want one and I can't draw to save my life!

Date: Tuesday 28th March 2006 [13:12] | Posted By: Azure

Lego Otaku
Date: Sunday 26th March 2006 [15:22] | Posted By: Joe
Many anime fans collect and build model kits, but this guy takes it to the next level, building his own anime mechs from Lego!

Grow Cube
Date: Tuesday 4th October 2005 [18:24] | Posted By: Joe
Some things are both crazy and addictive. Grow Cube is one of them. Basically you click on the object to add to the cube, it will then interact with the other objects already on the cube and grow, if placed in the correct order it will trigger off other events. The object of the game is to get all the items to their maximum level. Really simple yet highly addictive. From the same lunatic that brought you the Original Grow Game and Grow RPG.
