From Thinkgeek:

While we get our bikes out of storage, we’d like to introduce you to the Knight Rider KITT Car USB Charger. The Knight Rider KITT Car USB Charger has two USB ports, each capable of charging almost any USB-powered device (both put out 1.0 Amp). But it also has that signature light sequence from KITT’s voicebox we all know and love, synced to respond to 11 different audio phrases from the TV show. And in case you ever need less 80s, there’s a switch to turn the whole thing off or mute him. Possibly so your smart-mouthed car doesn’t speak to the nice officer.

When ST:TOS Meets William Shatner’s “Common People” [Music Video]

Here’s a really cool fan made music video in which a fan used footage from “Star Trek: the Original Series” and synced it (0:26 and 0:41) to William Shatner’s “Common People,” a song from the actor’s album “Has Been,” which was released in 2004.

I’m pretty sure this is going to be the “online highlight” of your day, I know I really enjoyed it!

New Horror Game “The Flock” Will Go Offline When Every Player Dies

Just in concept, this is a pretty incredible idea. Horror games might not be everyone’s cup of tea, but with the originality being utilized here, maybe The Flock will change the overall world’s perception of horror games. This proves they can be just as original and innovative as the biggest games out there.

The Flock is an asymmetrical multiplayer thriller. You get to play as one of the agile hunters that make up the Flock, but your goal is to become the hunted Carrier.

As the Carrier you need to shine your light upon objectives placed in the world in order to win the game; while at the same time fending off Flock that attempt to gain the Artifact for themselves! The Flock are vulnerable to the Artifact’s light, but their key to survival is to stand still when the light is shined upon them.

This Schrödinger’s Cat Mug is Both Dead and Alive

From Thingeek:

The Schrödinger’s Cat Mug features two molded cats. One is alive, and one was alive. If you hold the Schrödinger’s Cat Mug in your right hand, the alive cat will be facing you and the dead cat will be facing everyone else. However, if you hold the Schrödinger’s Cat Mug in your left hand, the dead cat will be facing you and the alive cat will be facing everyone else. Both sets of observers are seeing different results. This proves Erwin’s lesser theory about caffeine entanglement!

Xbox Will Support Mice and Keyboard!

The man in charge of Xbox says the company is working on supporting mice for playing games on the console. It will go with existing keyboard support, though it won’t immediately mean playing PC games on the console is possible.

Phil Spencer revealed the plans in response to a question on Twitter about streaming between a PC and an Xbox. He noted the company is “finishing” a project to allow gamers to stream games from an Xbox to a PC. He then said that he liked the idea of reversing the process but there are no plans to do so yet.

Another user then pointed out this would only work if the Xbox supported a mouse as well as a keyboard (which is presumably the case unless players were expected to work with a console stick, which would be a horrendous compromise.)

Spencer then replied that:

Yep, keyboard and mouse support for Xbox would need to be there for this to work, those aren’t far away.

before clarifying that “mouse is what we’d need to add.”

While Spencer was only talking in reference to streaming, it’s prompted speculation about other possible uses for a mouse on the console. This could include using it in place of a controller to operate menus, something that could be particularly useful as and when Windows 10 shows up on the console.

Another possibility is mouse support making it much more viable for developers to port PC games directly to the Xbox, avoiding the need for streaming.

There’s even been some talk of native Xbox games supporting keyboards and mice by design, though that seems extremely far-fetched given only a small minority of players would want or be able to use such an option.
