One of the weak points of virtual reality and 3D video technologies is that the many people won’t be excited about them unless they get to test it themselves. But a group of developers have figured out a way to use that weakness as the crux of their game. It’s called Keep Talking and Nobody Explodes, and it looks like a lot of fun.

In Keep Talking and Nobody Explodes, you play a group of bomb disposal experts trying to defuse a time bomb. The catch is that only one of you can see and handle the bomb. That player will wear the Oculus Rift headset. The current build of the game also requires the Razer Hydra motion controllers.

The rest of you will then help by reading from a multiple page guide that provides general clues for defusing the game’s many bombs. You’ll talk with the player wearing the Rift to find out the exact bomb you’re dealing with, then relay the clues from the guide on how to defuse that exact type of bomb. The demo video below has salty language. Because they’re dealing with a freakin’ time bomb.

How considerate of the bomber to add serial numbers to his wares. The developers behind the game said they will demo it at the 2014 PAX East. You can also check out the game’s files on GitHub.

Back at CES 2014, Razer unveiled an ambitious new concept called Project Christine. For those unfamiliar, Project Christine is basically where Razer plans to build a completely modular PC where parts can be swapped out as easy as sliding it out from its slot and putting in a new one.

This is compared to current PC building where users will have to struggle with screws, bolts, washers, and also figure out which wire goes onto which port on the motherboard, and so on. Not to say that it is extremely difficult to do, but it’s definitely not for those who aren’t as tech savvy. (more…)

When it comes to gaming peripherals and in more recent times, gaming machines, the name Razer would certainly be worth looking into. After all, the company has proved its mettle in the past concerning the different kinds of mice and keyboards that have been churned out for gamers, and this time around, their Razer Blade gaming laptop has just received a brand new improvement instantly elevating it to elite company as it boasts of the highest resolution 14-inch display that is available in a laptop.

Just how high of a resolution are we talking about here? We are looking at a stunning 3200 x 1800 pixels touchscreen display that will boast of a record 5.76 megapixels, making it capable of sharply exhibiting even the finest details and text with 262 pixels per inch. Thanks to state-of-the-art IGZO/IPS (Indium Gallium Zinc Oxide/In-Plane Switching) display panel technology that offers unmatched color and image quality, one would be able to enjoy a 250 percent increase in contrast ratio over its predecessor, where there is also high brightness LED backlighting that has been specially optimized for outdoor use, wide viewing angles, and dramatically improved video propagation and response.

Apart from that, the Razer Blade’s display will also minimize color shift while maximizing uniformity in order to make gaming a whole lot more beautiful than ever before possible. Yeah, just when you thought that things could not get any better, the Razer Blade will also come with a 10-point capacitive multi-touch screen which will work seamlessly thanks to the new touch interface in Windows 8.

It measures 0.7” thin, and despite that, it is still capable of packing in far more power-per-cubic-inch than any other laptop in the world. It will run on a 4th gen Intel Core i7 processor and relies on solid-state storage technology that will deliver boot speeds up to four-times faster compared to a traditional notebook hard drive, all arriving in a rugged all-aluminum chassis. This is definitely a beast of a machine, that’s for sure. It will retail for $2,199 onwards this April.
