    GamePro magazine and website set to shutdown next week, goodnight sweet prince

    Long before the internet, gamefaqs, or message boards, there existed gaming publications that were essential to anyone who called themself an avid video game player. Back in the day the big boys on the block were EGM, Nintendo Power, and of course, GamePro. During the early to mid-90’s it was all about which kid on your street had a subscription you could borrow from or how much information you could soak into your brain during trips to the super market. Cheats, walkthroughs, and previews to the latest games were what made any self respecting kid a big shot amongst his friends. This hits personally to us, and it saddens us to hear that the fine folks at GamePro are closing up shop after more than 20 years in the business. — More after the break!

    Microwave does away with annoying BEEPING, plays your favorite songs via USB port instead - (Video)

    This is what makes people millionaires — ideas like this. You get something that is so everyday and ordinary, like the beeping alarm off a microwave, replace it with enjoyable tunes via a USB port, and just like that your bank account is now earning 7 digit figures. Seriously, we gotta give the BGH Quick Chef Music Case Microwave designers props on this historic concept.

    Major firmware update for 3DS due out by December 8th

    We heard talk about an incoming update for the 3DS that was going to enhance many of the onboard capabilities for the 3D, but we never posted any details on it since we weren’t sure when it was going to launch. Well, strike that — Nintendo originally hoped to see it out to the masses by the end of November but now it seems that’s been delayed. But don’t fret, you’ll see it out by Dec. 8th. So what do you get with this ‘major’ update? Well, the ability to take 3D video, for starters. — More after the break!

    Solare Flex desk lamp by Cielux review

    Desk lamps are a dime dozen, just go to Walmart or your nearest department store and you’ll find a ton of varieties for all kinds of purposes. But finding that right one for your office space or even pc gaming needs can prove a tiring excursion. Getting work done, whether checking email or taking down dragons in Skyrim, requires your eyes to be fatigue free — something that can be remedied with the proper lighting. So what exactly can fill that void? This is where we found ourselves in the ultimate search that eventually led us to the Solare Flex by Cielux. — Our full review after the break!

    The Office's Dunder Mifflin branded paper will soon be sold by Staples

    Here at Okay Geek, the staff have an affinity for all things The Office. Though personally, I must admit that I was highly skepticle of the direction the show was heading in season 8, and so was the rest of America — with the show receiving its lowest ratings ever. So in hopes of giving the Dunder Mifflin employees afloat in their fictional world, Staples has struck a pretty interesting deal with NBC to soon sell Dunder Mifflin branded paper online. — More after the break!

    PS Vita memory cards get priced for North America, will make your wallets cry

    For what the PS Vita does compared to any other handheld before it there’s absolutely no comparison. Its ability to play games almost on the same level as its console counterpart but on a smaller, mobile screen is bar none. And that’s just the beginning, not counting online-connectivty, its new touch pads, and library of upcoming 1st and 3rd party titles to keep the device fresh. So what could possibly threaten the life of this upcoming gaming beast? Well, how about a hugely exaggerated price tag on Sony proprietary memory cards? — More after the break!

    The original MegaMan cartoon that never was, sadly -- (Video)

    The Ruby-Spears MegaMan production from the early 90’s was certainly one of the better video game inspired cartoons we ever got as kids. And even though it casually crosses the border of “it sucks so bad, it’s good” line when we look back at it now, we still love it for what it’s worth. But did you ever wonder what the original concept of the show looked like? Well, to be honest, much better then what we eventually got! Here and bask in the regret of what never was.
