While You Were Sleeping

Just woke up? Why not check out While You Were Sleeping. We post the news that came in overnight. And pictures of sleeping babies.

The Oculus Rift is already my favourite video game ‘thing’ at the moment. More than the PS4 or 360, I’m excited by the capabilities and potential of this device. When was the last time a console allowed you to simulate walking across Mars? Yeah, thought so. Nasa has actually created a virtual Mars you can explore with the Oculus Rift. Whoa. Seriously.

From making the real virtual, to making the virtual… real — in Japan you can actually visit the Totoro house for real. Man, I need to do this. Can someone build a Cat bus now?

The A Capella video game guy with the cat — if you haven’t heard his work you are in for a treat. If you are already a fan, then prepare for more greatness with this rendition of the Super Mario World theme.

Finally — Adventure Time is in Futurama! And this is the real life story of a boy who stopped an out of control car using his Mario Kart skills.
