With 70 million active monthly users, we suspect the world isn’t desperately searching for another way to listen to Pandora. That said, we certainly can’t fault the internet radio provider for attempting to optimize the experience for as many platforms as possible. The latest push comes in the form of tv.pandora.com, a service the company claims is optimized for that proverbial “10-foot experience.” The HTML5-based site plays nicely with your Xbox 360 at the moment, and Pandora says that it’ll be coming to further TVs, set top boxes and consoles in the months to come. tv.pandora.com has a simplified navigation system, play, pause, skip and thumbs up and down functionality and 500 curated stations to get you started. You can check the site out today, or peep a press release on the matter after the break.

It’s time to put your Ben Heck hat on. A company called Photon Gaming is raising funds for Darkmatter, an open source DIY kit for converting an Xbox 360 console into a laptop. Photon Gaming even claims one variant of their kit will allow you to convert an Xbox One into a laptop. I wonder if early adopters will be willing to risk losing an Xbox One for that.
The kit is available in various models depending on how much you want to pay, from just the electronics to a finished and ready to use Darkmatter Xbox 360 laptop.
Head to Kickstarter to support the world’s first open-source, hacker-friendly, 3D printed, laser-cut, honey glazed, butter side up DIY Xbox 360 laptop kit. If you pledge at least $499 (USD), you’ll qualify to get the full kit; all you’ll need is an Xbox 360 and a few hours to put the two together. But if you have more money than tinkering skills, pledge at least $999 and you’ll get a full Xbox 360 laptop as a reward.

A dumpster-looking personal fortress of solitude where you can play games in total privacy? Count me in. “The Box” is a custom-built personal gaming chamber for those who have no friends and want none.
It’s for sale on Craigslist in Ohio. It has everything you could ever want in a gaming chamber: surround sound, air conditioning/heat, the smell of your own sweat and urine when you refuse to leave (or get locked in by others) as well as the smell of stale Cheetos and Mountain Dew.
It’s only $2500 (USD). Never be distracted again by “life”. No worries. Girls won’t find you in this thing and you will be doing all of them a favor by living in this thing.
