Get In On The LEGO MMO Beta (Because You Know You Want To)

By Gary Eng Walk | February 10, 2010 | +

LEGO Group, the guardians of all things LEGO, has started accepting applications to beta test their upcoming massively multiplayer online game. LEGO Universe is going to be very kid-friendly, but watch this trailer and tell me you’re not the least bit curious to play this MMO:

According to the official website, the game won’t be focusing too much on player vs. player battles, which should minimize the chances of 8-year-olds beating up on your minifigure avatars. They’ll be able to bust up the Lego constructs you build, however, unless you switch off the “smashable” option in the game settings.

Review: Soulo Converts iPad into Karaoke Machine

Karaoke lovers typically fall into two categories: Those who enjoy it, and those whose arms have to be twisted to get up and sing in public. Enter Soulo, a software and microphone kit that can turn an iPad or other Apple device into a karaoke machine. It gives you instant karaoke in the privacy of your own home, or wherever you carry your Apple gadgets. That’s the idea, anyway.
