Hasta La Gadget!

We can’t enter the digital world like the Flynns did just yet, but thanks to the Oculus Rift, you may be able to experience what it’s like to duke it out in a light cycle. Custom video game machine maker Luis Sobral aka The Arcade Man made an arcade game featuring Tron’s famous vehicles based on the virtual reality headset.

Luis calls his project RiftCycles, a game where players take part in an “immersive virtual reality light cycle battle, fighting in an arena with their bikes until “deresolution”.” To make the experience more authentic, Luis also built two light cycle models out of cardboard and metal for players to ride on.

Watch out for CLU and head to Luis’ website for more on RiftCycles.

While many of us fans of classic arcade games would love to have a whole roomful of old arcade cabinets, we don’t always have the space, the money, or the understanding significant other to allow for such dalliances. ArcadeLights has the next best thing.

Instead of filling up tons of space with a complete arcade cabinet, ArcadeLights takes original game marquees and mounts them into wall sconces. They come in a wide variety of designs, and are the perfect addition to your gameroom. Whether you’re looking for Pac-Man, Asteroids, Moon Patrol, or TRON, they’ve got you covered.

Prices range from about $85 up to $225(USD) depending on the rarity and cost of the particular marquee. Head on over to their Etsy shop now to check their current stock. Keep in mind that due to the age of these marquees, they’re not all in perfect condition, but that just adds to the arcade-y charm, IMHO.

And if you miss playing the classics, you can always load up some games on your arcade emulator while you admire your shiny new wall light.

LED taillights are everywhere, but most are pixellated eyesores. The 2014 Dodge Durango’s LEDs don’t suffer that problem. They give off a uniform electroluminescent glow, like someone wrapped Clu around the back of an SUV. It’s a neat look with some cool light trickery involved.

deviantART member Zoki64 specializes in Nintendo 64 case mods. One of his latest creations is this TRON: Legacy-themed mod, complete with glow in the dark paint. I guess you could call it CLU – a console that lights up.

Zoki64 is tight-lipped about his modding process, but at least he took a video of the console and the controller so we can take a better look at it:

It looks way more futuristic than the next-gen consoles. Check out Zoki64′s deviantART page for additional images of the mod.

You know how it is. You get up in the middle of the night, shuffle into the dark bathroom, do your thing.(Forget the light. It’s too bright) Then you wake up in the morning to your wife slapping you and she makes you clean up your mess. That won’t happen with this awesome glow in the dark toilet seat.

Now you can always see where you are aiming. NightGlow has several versions available for $49.99(USD) each, and they light the way with either a blue or green glow. No matter how drunk you are, you will never have a problem in the wee hours of the morning again.

This is what it’s like to live in the world of TRON. Your toilet seat can finally match your lightcycle.
