Swag of the Day: Mafia II Track Jacket

This week’s “Swag of the Day” has been…late. We’ll be back on track next week.

2K’s Mafia II won’t be out until August 24, but that hasn’t stopped the swag train from rolling right along. Up for grabs this week is a medium track jacket with a simple Mafia II logo.

All you have to do to win is tell us what your favorite scene …

Cryptids: The Mothman

All hail the Mothman, one of the most hauntingly provocative cryptids in the history of cryptozoology. Let’s start with some quick stats:

Height: 6.5- to 7-feet

They Should Make It: Connected Self Replenishing Refrigerator

The home of the future will be insanely connected–everything talking to everything else. And while I don’t really care if my toaster is able to network with my coffee maker just yet, one of the things that intrigues me the most is the concept of a refrigerator that would be able to sense volume levels of certain containers and, when …

They Should Make It: Finger Gun Button For Email Messages

Swag of the Day: God of War III Kratos Sweatshirts [Update]

Case of the Mondays? Well, we’ve got some free stuff to give away to cheer you up. On this dreary Monday, we have two XL zip-up Kratos hoodies. I’m currently locked out of my office, so I can’t snap any pics of the actual sweatshirts but I can describe them to you – heather grey with Kratos’ red war paint or whatever it is along the left …

Cryptids: The Elusive Bigfoot

Why is it so hard to find Bigfoot? We could say, “Because there’s no such thing as Bigfoot!” and call it a day but that’s not fair to Bigfoot. Give Bigfoot some credit. He’s lasted centuries without getting caught, killed, or filmed with a high definition camera on a tripod. So without getting into the real/not real debate, …

They Should Make It: Individual Rotating Dinner Plate

This is “They Should Make It.” It’ll appear here every Tuesday and will contain some really mind-bending ideas for products and services that don’t yet exist—but should! You may not agree with my ideas, and that’s okay. It’s not like we’re taking a road trip together or anything.

In Case You’re Wondering

Posts will be a little light this week since half the team is traveling. I’m at the Game Developers Conference in San Francisco with Evan. We’ll have daily reports and such going forward. And Steve is off to DC for some Hubble 3D shenanigans. That is all.
