I Thought They Looked Familiar: Bioshock Big Daddies Actually Bomberman In Disguise

A-ha! It’s really true too, once you see him he’s nearly impossible to un-see . Thankfully, I have a little secret: booze . Higher proof the better. Okay, now pour it in your eyes. Can’t see him anymore, can you? Good. How many fingers am I holding up? If you answered, “none, but is that you touching my butt?”, yes, it is. Also, doing some squats wouldn’t kill you. You can’t unsee Bomberman in BioShock 2 [joystiq] Thanks to GuamOtoko, who once thought he saw Mario on the cover of God of War III but it turned out to be he was tripping his face off.

Top Gear’s The Stig Spotted On Google Maps

Top Gear’s The Stig Spotted On Google Maps

For those of you that don’t watch the BBC’s Top Gear , you’re missing out. And for those of you that do — let me know when so I can come over and pound some brewhahas and subsequently puke and pass out in your laundry room. Yeah, I’m an awesome guest. BBC Top Gear’s enigmatic racing car driver The Stig mysteriously appeared on Google’s Street View, standing by the side of a road at Loch Ness. The true identity of the BBC show’s test-track demon has never been confirmed. Some people even think there has been more than one Stig, with Formula 1 legend Michael Schumacher and Damon Hill often rumoured to have donned the white suit and helmet. Now I’d hate to ruin the mystery of The Stig, but I know exactly who he is. He’s me . Surprised? Pfft, I can drive. I don’t have a license but I can drive. Just not 55. No sir, not 55 . High-five, Sammy — now Cabo Wabo me. Hit the jump for a shot of The Stig spotted in the window of an office building.

See-through Laptop Screen Is See-through

See-through Laptop Screen Is See-through

Samsung had a 14″ laptop prototype on display at the ongoing Consumer Electronics Show with a transparent OLED display. That means you can see the screen AND your legs at the same time. Maybe even your penis! Kidding, kidding, it’s not a giant magnifying glass. Oooooh, emasculated to the emaximus! Hit the jump for a video of the screen in action.

I See You!: Lexus LF-A Crystallised Wind

The Lexus LF-A Crystallised Wind is a car made entirely of acrylic glass . I know, I thought it was real crystallized wind too. LIARS! Anyway, I don’t recommend stuffing any dead bodies in the trunk. I do recommend wearing pants. Hit the jump for another shot of the car with some lighting effect that makes it look like ice.

I See You, Little Stuff!: A USB Microscope

I See You, Little Stuff!: A USB Microscope

Hey guys I’m getting kicked out my hotel (which is fine because it’s a shithole and caught fire yesterday) so I have to relocate. I’ll be back this afternoon with more posts though, I promise. In the meantime, here’s a $130 USB powered microscope . This week e-Supply Japan announced the EEA-MAN1011, an digital USB microscope to use with a PC. It’s powered by a 2Mpix censor manufactured in by Sanyo Japan with a 5x to 150x zoom. Oh man, I want one. Remember the first time you ever looked at something under a microscope? What was it? Mine was a scab. And no, I didn’t eat it afterwards. It’s not eating if you swallow something whole! e-Supply Japan’s New USB Microscope [akihabaranews] Thanks to naas, who once looked at a fingernail clipping under a microscope and never bit his nails again.

Red Rover, Red Rover: Glowing Puppies

Red Rover, Red Rover: Glowing Puppies

Created in the same fashion as the glowing kitties we posted way back in December, 2007, scientists have bred transgenic (expressing a gene from another, unrelated organism) puppies that glow red under UV light. I don’t want one. Ain’t no devil dog livin’ in this house! A team led by Byeong-Chun Lee of Seoul National University in South Korea created the dogs by cloning fibroblast cells that express a red fluorescent gene produced by sea anemones. Greg Barsh, a geneticist at Stanford University who studies dogs as models of human disease, says creating a transgenic dog is “an important accomplishment”, showing that cloning and transgenesis can be applied to a wide range of mammals. “I do not know of specific situations where the ability to produce transgenic dogs represents an immediate experimental opportunity,” Barsh adds. But transgenic dogs will give researchers another potential tool to understand disease. Eh, I thought it was so you wouldn’t step on your dog on the way to the kitchen for a midnight snack. I don’t know about this whole disease bit. Which reminds me: any of you good at identifying rashes? I can send pics. Hit the jump for what the puppies look like when they’re not glowing. Except the middle one, the middle one isn’t a glower.
