If you played The Last of Us on the PS3, you know that this was one of the best games to ever come to that console. If you have a PS4 now you might be wondering when you can play that game in all its next-gen glory. During an interview, a PlayStation Eurasian Software Market Manager named Sercan Sulun said that The Last of Us is coming to the PS4.
He claimed that the game will hit the new console this summer. That is fantastic news for gamers that have a new console and want some post-apocalyptic glory. Sulun also said that the PS4 version of the game will come out of the box with the DLC Left Behind ready to play. Of course, Sony later denied the rumor, which means absolutely nothing. The cat is out of the bag.
This is almost as exciting as word that they are making a movie of this game. I hope that movie doesn’t suck. The game has a great premise, and I don’t think they will need to try to tie it to the game to be successful in theaters. I always fear a Doom type flick messing things up.
Have you ever had the need to sleep in your car? Perhaps an unfortunate camping incident involving rain or wild animals? A need to be somewhere at an unnatural hour, coming home from the hospital after surgery, or maybe during a long road trip, when you just didn’t want to spring for a hotel room in order to get just a few hours of shut-eye? Well, I’m here to tell you, that backseat isn’t all it’s cracked up to be, with the odd slope, and the seatbelt apparatus poking you in the back.
Check out the Fuloon Inflatable Backseat Car Mattress, providing you with a simple way to make your car’s backseat as much fun as you hoped it would be. Designed to fit almost any car, the Fuloon has 2 blocks and a center cut-out on the side of the mattress that’s not supported by the back seat itself, that levels the sleeping surface by filling in the legroom that you, or your body parts, would usually fall into. The rest of it covers those pesky seat belts that wreck havoc on your ribs and hip bones, all the while making your backseat the width of a full size bed.
The Fuloon Inflatable Car Mattress is made of a durable PVC, comes with an 12V electric pump, weighs in at a mere 6.6 pounds, and provides enough room for up to two people who don’t mind a little close cuddling, So go ahead and throw one in your trunk with a blanket, and a weeks supply of beef jerky and water… you’ll be ready for just about anything. Get one at amazon.com for under 120 bucks.

I don’t often have emotional reactions to shelving units, but cripes—these pics from Design is a State of Mind, a new exhibition at London’s Serpentine Sackler Gallery, are just about perfect. Storage systems are often stuck in the shadow of the stuff they’re displaying, but, here, a handful of perfect specimens get the spotlight they deserve.

Billionaire venture capitalist Tim Draper recently proposed splitting California up into six distinct states. Draper’s plan is getting a good deal of ridicule in the press, despite the fact that it could actually make its way to California ballots in the next election. But it’s easy to forget that throughout history, political boundaries have indeed been redrawn to suit different needs.

Keeping it real used to be the goal, but now it seems that real reality just isn’t that interesting anymore. Virtual reality, on the other hand, that’s taken the tech world by storm lately. Both Sony and Oculus demoed their latest VR wares at GDC…

Video games are a fun way to relax and escape from reality for a while. Many of them make you think strategically, can show you a new perspective, or have beautiful art and music. The way you interact with this other world is through your controller. When it comes to PC gaming, this translates to a keyboard and mouse. Seeing that many games require precision and speed, having equipment that can keep up with you is important.
If you’ve passed the point where gaming is considered ‘casual’ in your life, then you likely want some hardware that will move as quickly as you can if not faster. When it comes to precision, Das is all over it, and it’s looking like they’ve proven it again with the Das 4 Keyboard Ultimate. This has done away with any and all letter and number markings on the keys as you don’t honestly need them after a while. Much in the same way you can play a stringed instrument without frets.
You’ll have the option of Cherry MX Blue or Brown switches, which mean you’ll get two different options of clicky goodness that have gold contacts. There’s an instant sleep button to save energy, a footbar to raise the keyboard (that can also act as a precise ruler when not in use because…why not?), a 6.5ft cable, and 2-port USB 3.0 hub. If it wasn’t apparent, there are media controls as there is a fairly large volume knob for when you want to listen to music that doesn’t come from the game, or need to adjust volume in a Skype call. This will cost you $169 if you want to upgrade your gaming equipment.
Available for purchase on Daskeyboard

Samsung has more or less worked on delivering a tablet for every tier of users, ranging from the entry level to the mid-range and all the way to the high end. In a bunch of new FCC filings, one of them showed off a tablet that had the model number SM-T805, which so happened to be a similar model number that appeared on a UAProf listing recently, where it allegedly comes with a 2,560 x 1,600 resolution display alongside Android 4.4 KitKat as the operating system of choice.
