Samsung outs Nexus 10 with 64GB of storage on
website, typo or accidental leak

post from Ubergizmo on 31 October 2012 08:11:10 AM. © Ubergizmo

When the Nexus 10 was announced, it was revealed that it would arrive in 16GB or 32GB versions. There was certainly no word on a 64GB version although thanks to a Korean press release on Samsung?s website, they might have accidentally revealed that a 64GB could be available. The image above was part of the press release, although it has since been replaced with the 64GB version edited out. Now there is a possibility that the original image uploaded was done in error, or perhaps there is a chance that Samsung accidentally leaked that information before it was meant to be shared with the public. Either way we?ll be keeping our eyes peeled, but until then we suggest that if you are looking for more storage capacity on your Nexus 10 than just 32GB, you best not hold your breath, at least until it has been officially confirmed (or denied if it was really just a typo).

Man with bionic leg to climb 103 flights of
stairs this Sunday

post from Ubergizmo on 31 October 2012 07:47:06 AM. © Ubergizmo

The human spirit is an amazing thing and we often see people with disabilities perform feats that defy the human limitations. Zac Vawter is hoping to do just that by putting his prosthetic leg to the test. After losing his leg in a motorcycle accident, the 31-year old was fitted with a pretty awesome prosthetic limb that can be controlled by his thoughts, providing him with a greater degree of control and flexibility compared to regular prosthetic limbs, and come this Sunday he will be putting his bionic leg to the test by climbing 103 flights of stairs to the top of Chicago?s Willis Tower.

Samsung GT-N5100 spotted, could be a 7.7 Galaxy
Note

post from Ubergizmo on 31 October 2012 07:35:48 AM. © Ubergizmo

It looks like Samsung might have another Galaxy Note device planned, this time of the 7.7? variety. This was revealed thanks to its model number, the GT-N5100, although the exact specifications of the device remain unknown. What we do know is that it will reportedly have a display resolution of 800×1280, and it will also be powered by a quad-core processor, a 1.6GHz Exynos 4412 chipset which is the same one that is used in the Galaxy Note 2. Assuming that is the case, it has been speculated that this alleged 7.7? Samsung Galaxy Note device will not be competing against the Nexus 7 or the Kindle Fire at least in terms of price. Another model, the GT-N5110 has also been spotted, suggesting that the previous model could be a WiFi-only model, while the latter could feature mobile connectivity. No word on when we can expect to learn more but we?ll keep our eyes peeled anyway, so stay tuned for updates!

Beta Steam client for Linux to feature Portal,
Team Fortress 2 and Serious Sam 3 BFE

post from Ubergizmo on 31 October 2012 07:34:58 AM. © Ubergizmo

The other day it was reported that Valve had launched an application page in which they were looking for beta testers for their Steam client for Linux. This is certainly great news for Linux gamers and at the same time we expect that they are also wondering what sort of games will the Steam client for Linux be getting. Well if you were successful with your application for the beta, developer Croteam has revealed that the beta Steam client for Linux will feature three games ? Portal, Team Fortress 2 and Serious Sam 3 BFE. Oddly enough there was no mention of Left 4 Dead 2, which was the first game to be ported and optimized for Ubuntu systems, at least that?s what the original plan was. Perhaps Valve is still working on a port, but in the meantime beta participants can expect those three games for now.

Blizzard to offer new World of Warcraft mount and
pet in their store

post from Ubergizmo on 31 October 2012 07:34:12 AM. © Ubergizmo

One of the great things about MMOs is that they are always being updated with new content. Now if you?re a World of Warcraft gamer and you?d like to get your hands on a special mount, or perhaps a pet, it seems that Blizzard has these two items that should be available either before or after the release of Patch 5.1. Now as some of you guys know, Blizzard has an online store in which gamers can purchase mounts and pets using real life money, and these two items ? the Swift Wingsteed and the Cinder Kitten can be bought and their prices should be around the same as the other mounts/pets in the store.

Interestingly it seems that the Swift Wingsteed will come with a rather unique model of its own, and as you can see in the screenshot above, a cloud will be attached to its feet to give the illusion that the mount will be riding on a cloud. As expected it should be able to double up as a ground mount or a flying mount. It is pretty unique as far as mounts go, but we guess if anyone can buy it, it won?t be as special anymore.

Call of Duty: Black Ops 2 street date possibly
broken in Europe

post from Ubergizmo on 31 October 2012 06:58:30 AM. © Ubergizmo

As you guys know by now, Call of Duty: Black Ops 2 will be released on the 13^th of November, although word on the street is that the street date has already been broken thanks to one particular retailer in Slovakia, Bazo.sk (via CVG). The product listing has since been deleted but thanks to photos that have been grabbed before it was taken down, it certainly looks the case. As you can see in the image above, what we are looking at is the box art for the Hardened Edition of the game. However as the folks at VG247 have noted, since there are no photos of the actual disc, there is a chance that these boxes are merely promotional materials used to display on shelves for customers to look at, rather than the actual game itself, although the deleting of the listing is rather suspicious. In any case at the very least we have a glimpse at how the Hardened Edition will look like. Either way we only have a couple of weeks to go before the official release, so stay tuned for more updates!

Wii U will launch with Hori fight stick accessory
in Japan

post from Ubergizmo on 31 October 2012 06:57:38 AM. © Ubergizmo

Playing fighting styled games on a gaming controller is fine, although some gamers might prefer going old school and getting their hands on arcade stick controllers to emulate the good old days. Well the good news is that if you were planning on picking up the Nintendo Wii U, it looks like there is an arcade stick controller that will be released at the same time that will be compatible with the console. This is none other than the Hori fight stick with a Tekken Tag Tournament 2 decal on it and will connect with your Wii U just like the Classic Controller Pro. Unfortunately it seems that the Hori fight stick will only be available for the Wii U in Japan, but we expect that eventually it will make its way stateside and to other countries around the world. It will also be priced at roughly $100.

Next Guild Wars 2 major content update arriving
15th November

Now it seems that due to Hurricane Sandy, there are many gamers affected by it which at the same time has affected their ability to play Guild Wars 2, which means that they are missing out on the Halloween special. Unsurprisingly many of these gamers have reached out to ArenaNet, asking them if it was possible for them to extend their Shadow of the Mad King Halloween event to make up for ?lost time?. Unfortunately for those players, it looks like ArenaNet will not be doing so, but at the same time it was revealed that this was because ArenaNet has a major content updated scheduled for the 15^th of November.

The Coyote Case will protect you and your iPhone

When it comes to protecting ourselves on the streets, there are a variety of options available, such as whistles aimed to draw attention to ourselves, pepper spray, tasers and etc. However if you don?t want to carry an additional item with you while on the go, perhaps due to the lack of space in your pocket or handbag, then this Coyote case for your iPhone might be of interest to you, as not only will it protect your phone from drops and scratches, but it could also protect you by emitting a 100dB siren that will hopefully freak the other person out, and draw attention to you which could help scare away the attacker.

At the same time the case can be customized to send out a text message along with your location which we guess will come in handy in dire situations. Both the alarm and the text messages are activated by pressing buttons on the case, but this can be customized further as the case will allow the user to define whether pressing the button will emit the siren and/or send a text, or if it will require the pressing of both buttons which we?re guess will help to prevent accidental use. It is expected to be priced at $60 and it is currently an Indiegogo project, so if you?d like to help make the Coyote Case a reality, head on over to its Indiegogo page for the details.
