For those looking for the ultimate addition to a game room look no further, The Gamerator is almost here. The Gamerator is easily the ultimate gaming machine as it combines gaming with the fun of drinking. The Gamerator is Windows XP based and uses a 26-inch HDTV that lets you play more than 150 licensed classic arcade games. However the best part is the fact that it features an integrated refrigerator that can hold a “pony” keg and keep it chilled down to 38 degrees. The beer is dispensed through a tap in the front next to the gaming controls. Unfortunately the Gamerator is not currently available yet but it will retail for $3,995

Soon to be released: the GP2X-F200, the next version of the GP2X, now featuring a touch screen. Still with the same old 2 processors ( ARM920T, main processor, and ARM940T, video coprocessor). Can hold up to 32 Gb with the new SDHC technology. With linux, being completely open source, and GPL’ed it gives you the freedom to make, download, and port all sorts of games, emulators, and utilities. Yes, thats right, free games and emulators. You can also put a wifi dongle (supported by linux) on there and put in some linux driver, and you’ve got a mobile work station. Well, almost, you might need a usb keyboard, yes you can put a keyboard on it. Anyways, enough talking, heres the specs.

Pool beer pong anyone? Do you ever wish you could play it in the pool? This is what you have been waiting for, a water proof floatable table for ping pong ($70). I don’t know how the rules would work for this type of beer pong game, but it would be fun to try.

It looks like video games are not so bad for you after all. The study done by the University of Rochester found that a few hours of gaming daily, over the course of a month “substantially increased the spatial resolution of their vision”. Which made them 20% better at identifying letters in a visual cluster (simular to the charts in a ophthalmology clinic).

It looks like Microsoft is finally fighting back agianst Sony and its Blu-Ray PS3, Looks like some pictures have surfaced showing the upcoming EXTERNAL drive for the Xbox 360. While i’m happy Xbox 360 will soon have HD DVD support i wonder what exactly type of connection its will use, last time i checked HDMI and DVI were absent from the Xbox 360. Also if you are listening Microsoft, the idea of using an external drive to play games seems counter productive, why not save money and put it in the rig itself, seems to me like we are just getting screwed out of our money pretty hard. However the price for the external drive seems to be around the $100 price point, making it at least an affordable option
