There are number of reasons why Android smartphone users running the CyanogenMod might want to share what they see on the screen of their device with other people. Currently, users can take screenshot pictures to share to show off the typical silly texts, themes, and other content. The developers behind CyanogenMod soon plan to integrate […]

There are times when you’re sitting at your desk, minding your own business, and it suddenly feels as though a bug has bit your back, and nothing is right with the world until you’ve scratched that spot. Of course, not everyone has the ability to contort their arm behind them, so they use the nearest wall or the back of their chair to scratch that itch. That isn’t always enough to get the job done though.

Getting a back scratching stick isn’t a bad idea, but they’re terribly rigid, and can sometimes end up hurting you rather than helping. Seeing that this invention has been around for some time, you would think that someone would make a better version of this tool. Well, they did, and it’s called the Scratcher (very original, right?).

This is said to be the World’s Best Back Scratcher. Of course, the website that sells it is saying that, though it does look to be pretty decent. The stick is flexible, and the spurs on it are not terribly rigid, so you won’t have to worry about them catching on your clothes or poking you. This is also portrayed to be good for use on your calves (for circulation) or feet, but I doubt anyone is going to want to put this on their feet and then on their back. One of these will cost you around $28, and only comes in a white, green, and black combination.

Despite Blizzard’s World of Warcraft MMORPG being pretty old, Blizzard has never failed to stop maintaining the game and have continuously released expansions and additional content, and the latest piece of content found in Patch 5.3 is a mount. Granted mounts are hardly a big deal, this one could be as it has been discovered that this mount, referred to as the Enchanted Fey Dragon, is the first ever mount for World of Warcraft that can periodically change its color, undoubtedly making it pretty attractive not just in terms of looks, but in terms of value as well. As it stands there is no word on how players can get their hands on this mount, but there are several possibilities out there.

For starters it is possible that the Enchanted Fey Dragon mount could be given to players who attend BlizzCon 2013 which will be taking place next month, and that the mount could be part of the Goody Bags. The next possibility is that the mount could be sold through Blizzard’s online store where other World of Warcraft mounts, such as the Celestial Steed, can be purchased with real money. There is also the possibility that this mount could be a rare drop or a reward from either downing a raid boss or completing an achievement, but hopefully we will find out in the near future. In the meantime if you’d like to see the mount in action, check it out in the video above. Pretty cool, huh?

Nintendo has in the past been pretty adamant about not creating games for other platforms, namely mobile platforms such as iOS and Android. Basically what this creates is a sense of exclusivity which we guess would benefit the hardware sales of Nintendo products, although given the recent figures of Wii U sales it does not appear to be working out for them. Well the good news is that Nintendo has since stated that they plan to start creating more cross-platform games that will provide functionality with other consoles from different manufacturers, although not exactly in the way you might have thought.

According to a Nintendo representative, “We can confirm that cross-platform functionality is possible in certain titles that play on Nintendo 3DS and Wii U, as well as other video game systems not made by Nintendo […] We are committed to helping developers realise the full potential of their software on Nintendo systems.” While this is hardly considered developing titles for other platforms, we guess it’s a start, with an example being an upcoming title by Ripstone called Pure Chess where Wii U gamers can pit their skills against someone playing a different console, such as on iOS or Android, or the Nintendo 3DS. Presumably mobile gamers would love to see titles such as Mario or Zelda eventually arrive on their devices, but for now we guess this will have to do.
