Hasta La Gadget!

April 1, 2013 not only marks everyone’s least favorite holiday, April Fools’ Day, but it also marks the official start to baseball as MLB’s opening day is set to start later today. Getting your friends and family around your TV to watch the opening day festivities will be tricky on a Monday night, but a new app will allow you to watch baseball and still communicate with your friends or family while also giving you important stats regarding the game you’re watching.

Tok.tv is announcing they’re making it possible to not only deliver sports statistics to you through their TV app, but the service will also make it possible for you to voice chat with up to four remote people in order to make the experience as close to having people over as possible, without the need to clean up your apartment or ordering pizza for your guests. “We found voice is the medium to generate emotion, people don’t want to type home run, they want to yell home run,” said Tok.tv’s founder and chief executive Fabrizio Capobianco.

We think by now we’ve come to terms with Naughty Dog delaying The Last of Us, especially when they continually release new content on a regular basis. The delay only pushes the game back a little over a month, which is way better than having to wait several months. The latest video for The Last of Us is its 30-second TV spot, which was first aired during last night’s season finale of The Walking Dead, which means Sony most likely dropped a ton of cash to air it.

The TV Spot shows a nice mix between highlighting the story in The Last of Us, while also showing some action against those nasty spore-infected people. It felt like the perfect TV ad to air during The Walking Dead, considering those who don’t know the game’s story will most likely believe it’s zombies you’ll be fighting in The Last of Us. Oh, those silly, zombie-loving The Walking Dead fans. They’ll believe anything is a zombie if it shuffles around, lunging at people at every chance they have while often screaming “Brains!”

The next-generation of video game consoles will usher in some amazing visuals, which we already caught a glimpse of during Sony’s PlayStation 4 unveiling. Activision’s R&D department took center stage yesterday during the company’s GDC panel called “next-generation character rendering,” which after you see their tech demo, will have you wondering if it’s creepy or super awesome.

The real-time character demo is a 2-minute long video that highlights a number of amazing improvements in regards to a character’s facial gestures. The demo, which is all running in real-time, captures the actor’s face, eye movements, skin imperfections and nearly every emotion the actor could think of. (more…)

Solving a Rubik’s cube on a normal day is pretty difficult for the average person. No matter how hard the majority of us try to get all of the colors in their proper places, we end up removing the colored stickers and placing them all in their proper places. Being able to solve a Rubik’s cube is so easy for some people, they’ll go ahead and add something else in addition in order to slightly challenge themselves. This guy, though, is a complete nut as he attempts to solve three Rubik’s cubes while juggling.

No – he’s not juggling something and solving Rubik’s cubes between throws. He is juggling the Rubik’s cubes he is attempting to solve. So not only does he have to worry about the entire juggling process, which already can be mind-glowingly difficult, but he also proceeds to solve three separate Rubik’s cubes. The level of difficulty behind this trick is amazing, which is why he is surrounded by a small group of people who are probably as amazed as I was watching this video.

Up until today, we’ve seen Assassin’s Creed 4 in various screenshots as well as some teaser videos showing its in-game engine, but we have yet to see any official gameplay footage. Ubisoft has finally delivered the games first official gameplay trailer, and as you would expect, it looks pretty awesome.

The gameplay trailer for Assassin’s Creed 4 follows Captain Edward Kenway, who is the assassin / pirate you’ll be playing as in this title. In addition to the already expected maneuvering through the world at a freerunner’s pace as well as taking down enemies with a stab here and a pistol shot there, Assassin’s Creed 4 will include underwater explorations which include some impressive visuals. The sea’s wildlife, such as sharks, will keep you on your toes and may have you rethinking about going in the water again. (more…)
