If you remember, I attended the launch party of the Alienware X51 gaming PC. In between getting abused at the Street Fighter tournament and playing on shiny new boxes, I took a break to have my face scanned by NVIDIA. A 3D wireframe was generated based on this facial scan to construct models, using 3D [...]]]> http://girlygeekdom.com/events/alienware-event-a-model-of-yours-truly-by-nvidia/feed 0 http://girlygeekdom.com/entertainment/gaming-entertainment/bluestacks http://girlygeekdom.com/entertainment/gaming-entertainment/bluestacks#comments Thu, 19 Apr 2012 09:15:43 +0000 Zoe http://girlygeekdom.com/?p=20280
So addicted to mobile games, you wish you could get them all on your PC? Well now you can, along with any other Android apps. Bluestacks allows you to copy apps over from your phone and run them on a Windows machine. One of the best uses for this is to run larger screen versions [...]]]> http://girlygeekdom.com/entertainment/gaming-entertainment/bluestacks/feed 0 http://girlygeekdom.com/entertainment/alienware-european-launch-x51 http://girlygeekdom.com/entertainment/alienware-european-launch-x51#comments Fri, 10 Feb 2012 11:00:17 +0000 Motoko http://girlygeekdom.com/?p=20089
Alienware have been busy and Girlygeekdom had the privilege of being invited to the European launch of their new magical box, the X51. Upon first look, it reminds me of the XBox 360 S console with the almost monolithic yet sleek lines. However, this does not mean the insides are meager. On the contrary, it [...]]]> http://girlygeekdom.com/entertainment/alienware-european-launch-x51/feed 1 http://girlygeekdom.com/events/i-hijacked-the-ps3-at-mindcandy-lggd-6th-anniversary http://girlygeekdom.com/events/i-hijacked-the-ps3-at-mindcandy-lggd-6th-anniversary#comments Thu, 15 Sep 2011 14:26:16 +0000 Motoko http://girlygeekdom.com/set/technology/wtech/i-hijacked-the-ps3-at-mindcandy-lggd-6th-anniversary
It was that time again, another birthday for London Girl Geek Dinners and this time Mind Candy kindly hosted the event. Since the lovely Judith Lewis was the organiser, chocolate was involved. A lot, of, chocolate. Monty Bojangles was the highlight with some truffle action and a giant chocolate cake which I never actually got [...]]]> http://girlygeekdom.com/events/i-hijacked-the-ps3-at-mindcandy-lggd-6th-anniversary/feed 1 http://girlygeekdom.com/entertainment/gaming-entertainment/women-gamers-an-untapped-market-or-is-it http://girlygeekdom.com/entertainment/gaming-entertainment/women-gamers-an-untapped-market-or-is-it#comments Wed, 06 Jul 2011 09:00:17 +0000 Motoko http://girlygeekdom.com/?p=19536
When you are cruising at 37,000 feet, boredom sets in. And here I am, writing this. Earlier, I decided to load up my laptop to see what entertainment I can provide myself with for the flight. A quick gander on Steam gives me a miriad of games, such as Team Fortress 2, Portal 2, Civilization [...]]]> http://girlygeekdom.com/entertainment/gaming-entertainment/women-gamers-an-untapped-market-or-is-it/feed 0 http://girlygeekdom.com/events/alienware-gaming-night-shiny-new-laptops http://girlygeekdom.com/events/alienware-gaming-night-shiny-new-laptops#comments Thu, 23 Jun 2011 10:00:29 +0000 Motoko http://girlygeekdom.com/?p=19395
I was invited along to an Alienware event, promoting their new range of gaming laptops. Without even touching one of these yet, I knew they were going to be awesome. You cannot avoid the flashing neon lights and the distinct shape of the chassis. Each one looks the business. The hardware inside is nothing to [...]]]> http://girlygeekdom.com/events/alienware-gaming-night-shiny-new-laptops/feed 1 http://girlygeekdom.com/entertainment/child-of-eden-press-launch http://girlygeekdom.com/entertainment/child-of-eden-press-launch#comments Mon, 06 Jun 2011 10:00:58 +0000 Motoko http://girlygeekdom.com/?p=19212
Sarah and I had the privilege to attend the press launch event for Child of Eden, a Kinect game for the Xbox 360 (and also available on the PS3). I have held off buying a Kinect for sometime; the current games just didn’t grab me as something worth purchasing. That is all about to change [...]]]> http://girlygeekdom.com/entertainment/child-of-eden-press-launch/feed 0 http://girlygeekdom.com/entertainment/top-10-gadgets-tgsl http://girlygeekdom.com/entertainment/top-10-gadgets-tgsl#comments Thu, 21 Apr 2011 09:30:01 +0000 Motoko http://girlygeekdom.com/?p=18975
