ThePwnZone is gonna be movin’!

Sup PwnStars, yeah I’ll admit it, I have been totally neglecting this site for the past month or 2. Sorry folks, been dealin’ with some issues about putting up ads and whatnot (totally can’t if using a wordpress.com domain) So i’ve decided to get ThePwnZone it’s own domain and we should be up and running by the first or second week of the new year. Also we have a shitload in store for you guys. Lately we have been planning a shitload of original material and sketches as well as a bunch of gear we’re gonna be slangin’. So keep tuned and prepare for the birth of the new PwnZone.

 

P.S. – I love you.

Nike – Marty McFly Air Mags

OMG!!!! I am one of the biggest Back To The Future fans there are and I nearly pissed myself when I heard this. Nike is set to announce the release date of their new McFly Air Mags sometime this week!!! The shoes are based on the design from Back to the Future 2 and feature real lights and the iconic POWERED LACES!!! Check the teaser here. I still haven’t heard a price but I will be sure to keep tabs on this as it is a complete must-have for my collection. I already got the color changing hat, now they just need to make that sick auto-fit and dry jacket. 2015 has come early folks, enjoy.

 

ASUS Lamborghini VX6 and VX7

So it seems that computer company ASUS and famous car company Automobili have combined forces to create what has to be the coolest fucking laptop I have ever seen. The Asus Lamborghini VX6 and VX7. This PC is badass and screams italo-design.  Here are some of  the specs:

• 15.6-inch display with full HD resolution 1920 x 1080 pixels
• Intel Core i3, i5, or i7 processor
• Up to 16GB of DDR3 RAM
• NVIDIA N11E-GS DirectX 11 graphics with 1.5GB GDDR5 VRAM
• Genuine Microsoft Windows 7 (64bits)

Mikey Likey! I have to have one of these things man, not just because it’s a laptop that is easily on par with alienware gaming PCs, but that sweet Lambo design. Something inside me is screaming to buy this, go do a mountain of coke, listen to prince and yazoo, then go fuck Reagan.  Pure Pwn.

And here we have a nice hands on look from some British chick.

The Future – From Back in the Day

So here are some awesome vids of some “high-tech” stuff from back in the day. Kinda’ funny thinking that half of this stuff was considered almost sci-fi.

Nintendo’s New Console – Project Cafe’

The rumors are true, Nintendo is planning on unveiling it’s new console named Project Cafe’ at E3 in June. Project Cafe’ is said to be released in late 2012. While the details are still murky I have learned that new console will only feature 8gb of  hard drive space and play 25gb game discs. This is roughly 3x the size of the largest dvd style discs for 360 and Wii and comparable to the size of PS3’s blue ray discs. Though it is unconfirmed the resolution will be 1080p and Nintendo has stated that this machine will be graphically more powerful than the 360 and ps3. While it is uncertain if Nintendo will keep pursuing the 3d field they have stated that it might not be a predominant feature as they believe that 3d TVs are still not completely a mainstay in everyones household.

Also announced is Project Cafe’s controller, a tablet like device that will feature a 6 inch touch screen as well as dual analog sticks. One of the features is that you will be able to stream data directly to the controller from the console.  This could potentially allow you to stream games from your home system to the controller on the go.

While the interwebz has been in an uproar about the lack of hard drive space in the age of DLC I definitely believe Nintendo has something up it’s sleeves. While you can use SD cards to store data this does still seem a bit lacking. Do I smell cloud networking in the works here? Just a theory but if any console were to explore the cloud it definitely come from Nintendo. If they aren’t exploring cloud options perhaps they will allows users to use their own external hard drive via USB.

Keep this one on your radar folks, things are definitely too muddy to make some real decisions about it and Nintendo is always filled with surprises. Remember when the Wii was Revolution and all they really said about it was that you could download and play older Nintendo titles? Then they released the controlled and the whole scene changed. While the new tablet style controller sounds like an awesome feature I’m positive there is some details out there that will completely blow us away.

Razer Switchblade – Another step in mobile gaming.

Today I was checkin out the Razer Switchblade Concept online and man does this thing look cool. It is essentially a mobile gaming device that brings all of the power of your pc to a small mobile device. The real innovation of this product is not it’s mobility but the fact that it’s keyboard has the ability to show icons under the keys and allows for users to create custom UIs for any desired game using the actual icons/artwork from the game. This thing looks cool as hell and im sure the WoW geeks are goin’ ape shit over it. Imagine being able to play your favorite MMO on the go with all of your sweet macros and abilities actually laid out in front of you on the actual keys. Pretty cool shit. The Switchblade also features a touch screen and has the ability to be played like a mobile device or layed down like a laptop. The Switchblade runs on the Intel Atom processor and runs on Windows 7, it also has a MINI HDMI port, a USB3.0 port, and Standard Headphone and Mic ports. This product is still in concept phases and has not received an official price or release date, keep this one on your radar folks.
