Devil May Cry Demo DLC Details

Thanks to Dominic Matthews from Ninja Theory, we are now able to know more about the upcoming DmC: Devil May Cry demo DLC, which is known as Vergil’s Downfall. Vergil’s Downfall will carry half a dozen brand new missions, where you will be placed in spanking new environments, and you will step into the shoes of Dante’s twin brother Vergil.

Vergil is his own man of course, carrying his very own unique combat system (if you know Vergil from the prior games, then you will be able to recognize some of his signature moves) as well as storyline which we do hope will be heavyweight enough to make the world lust after this game not only for its graphics, but gameplay and gripping story as well.

Not only that, a new game would be nothing if there were no new enemies where you can lay down the smackdown on, and it is nice to know there are new butts to kick as well as the ability to upgrade Vergil’s combat as you play. Once you have completed all the new missions, there will be a quartet of new difficulty modes to unlock – where among them include Son of Sparda and Vergil Must Die.

Play Minecraft With Your Eyes Via Minecon Demo

They say that one’s eyes are the window to a soul, but with the Minecon demo, your eyes play another role, although not as important as letting you see, but it enables you to take control of the world of Minecraft using your sight alone, thanks to 4tiitoo and Tobii. Tobii Technology, the current global leader in eye tracking and gaze interaction, has teamed up with 4tiitoo, a pioneer in developing natural user experience-focused software solutions, to deliver this demo version of Minecraft that relies on your eyes’ gaze alone to play the game. This demo will be on display at the Intel booth at Minecon, the official Minecraft event, this coming November 24th to 25th at the Disneyland Resort, Paris, so if you are in the vicinity during those dates, you might want to mosey down there and take a literally closer look.

Tore Meyer, CEO of 4tiitoo, said, “Through the implementation of natural user interaction, particularly gaze, we are able to push the physical game controls to the background, allowing players to experience an immersive, fun and unparalleled gaming environment. We are excited about the opportunity to show gamers the new possibilities of our NUIA SDK, and we are looking forward to applying our technology to numerous applications in the near future.”

Apple Finally Fixed the iMessage Bug That Let Stolen iPhones Receive Messages Not Meant for Them

iMessage, which can be a fickle bitch sometimes, had an annoying, downright scary flaw that remained unfixed for too long: if your iPhone got stolen, the stolen phone would keep receiving messages sent via iMessage even after a remote wipe out and deactivation. That meant the thief who stole your phone, could see your messages. Apparently, it’s been fixed. Thank God. More »

Hulu Plus now available for Nintendo’s Wii U

Hulu Plus now available for Nintendo's Wii U

The Nintendo Wii U shipped without some of the services we’d heard it would feature, but now Hulu Plus has joined Netflix on the console. Although it’s late arriving, it does feature second screen navigation on the GamePad with several playback control options, or the ability to watch video on the touchscreen. We’re still waiting to see the TVii app next month and Amazon’s Instant Video, but early adopters should be able to take advantage, assuming they’re a subscriber or sign up for a trial membership. Check after the break for a quick demo video to see how it all works.

[Thanks, Quazie]

Nissan Leaf to go farther and cost less in 2013

Nissan Leaf to go farther and cost less in 2013

Wondering what the coming year will hold for Nissan’s flagship electric car? Well, as expected, there’s a small, but not negligible range boost in store. On a full charge, and with all the other electronics turned off, the 2013 Leaf should be able to eke 228 km (142 miles) out of its lithium ion pack, which is up from the 200 km (124 miles) of last year’s model. There’s also a new battery gauge that tells the driver how much juice is left in percentage points, instead of just miles remaining. The price of entry has also been seriously lowered, putting the EV within the reach of many more consumers. In Japan, the base model will cost just ¥2.5 million (roughly $31,000), significantly less than the 2012 edition which had a starting price of just under ¥3 million (around $37,000). While there’s no guarantee that price drop with carry over stateside, we’d say it’s a pretty good bet that a cheaper Leaf in our future. Sadly, there’s no word about that fancy inductive charger.

San Francisco Condom Proposal Aims To ‘Blanket The City In Condoms’ (VIDEO)

A new proposal by the San Francisco Department of Health is aiming to make safe sex a major priority in the city.

Earlier this month, the Department introduced Contract Proposal 60604: Condoms, an aggressive campaign that would flood health centers, high schools, office buildings and bars and nightclubs throughout the city with free condoms and lubricants. Or as Tracey Packer, acting director of HIV Prevention at the Department of Public Health, said in an interview with SF Weekly, “We’re trying to blanket the city with condoms.”

Packer is hardly exaggerating: the proposal seeks to invest $200,000 to $240,000 on safe sex materials. As Brandon R. Reynolds noted in the SF Weekly article, the investment is a significant uptick compared to 2008’s $60,000 condom budget.
