Metal Gear Solid Rising trailer leaks ahead of VGA premiere -- (Video)
It’s literally been years since we last saw or heard of Raiden and his own game, Metal Gear Solid: Rising. And today’s Video Game Awards were meant to break the silence and show off what Kojima’s been up to all this time. Well, leaks ruin plans but sometimes they make the hype all worth it. Is this a case of the latter? With the reveal of Platinum Games studios involvement it would seem so.






In case you had any doubts, Keanu Reeves is a gentleman -- (Video)
If you haven’t read lately, Keanu Reeves may be the most single tragic human being to walk the planet. But despite what life has given him, he’s still been able to pick himself up and be that awesome dude you wish all actors would be. Keanu saved us all from the machines and the grip of the Matric, and here he is saving a lady from having to stand while on the subway. Beautiful — *tear*.
Rumor - iPad 3 with retina display shipping in February 2012
When the iPad 2 came out some were disappointed to hear that they wouldn’t be getting that delicious retina display screen, as seen on the iPhone 4. And it also sucked for those same people who went ahead and picked up the second generation Apple tablet only to read just a mere few weeks later that the next version of the iPad would indeed host a screen with retina display.

iFrogz Fusion case for iPhone 4 / 4S review
So you spent anywhere from $99 to $849 for your shiny new iPhone 4 or 4S. At any given moment, no matter how careful you may be, that glass built rectangle of sexy can fall and shatter. So there’s absolutely no reason why you shouldn’t have a case to give it some extra protection in case it takes a spill. But we know you’re not made of money, and sometimes you don’t want to fork over $50 for a case that does the same job as a cheaper alternative. So here we are looking at the Fusion case by iFrogz, which doesn’t cost a fortune, feels great in the hand, and doesn’t look all that bad too. — Our review after the break!
How to enable the New Twitter (all steps included) #LetsFly
Before we take a dive into the new Twitter, let me make something clear - this isn’t an update for Twitter. This is a complete re-work of the entire company, and the re-design is just the surface. With the unification of their follow & tweet buttons, the addition of branded pages, embeddable tweets, and the re-built apps, Twitter is taking the first steps required to become a very profitable company. The key to all of this is transforming the billions of tweets, photos and videos into useful information for their users, and blurring the lines between mobile, desktop and apps — Now, let’s make sure you get in first.

Nintendo's Shigeru Miyamoto retiring from current position, would like to focus on small projects
Jonny Ive at Apple was said by Steve Jobs to answer to no one but him. As a designer, his word say was the final say. But when it comes to Nintendo, Shigeru Miyamoto is their very own Ive — being responsible for one of, if the THE most recognizable video game character of all time, Mario. Not only that, but Miyamoto-san was also instrumental in the conception of Donkey Kong and The Legend of Zelda franchises, among many others. But it would seem that the father of Nintendo has decided to stay out of the lime light, and go back to helping on smaller games rather than the bigger titles, like Mario Galaxy and such.
