Google adding gamepad support for Chrome

New outlets for gaming are popping up in the unlikliest of places nowadays. I mean, when the iPhone first came on the scene, with its App Store featuring $0.99 cent games, I doubt anyone really thought they would be raking in enough cash to make even Nintendo jealous. Well, that just goes to show the power of what new concepts and platforms can achieve. Everyone’s got a phone, hence the need for games on it. Well, everyone goes online and uses a browser to access it, right? So why not add controller support for that browser and get your gaming fix without the need of a console? Well, Google seems to be laying down the framework according to reports. — More after the break!

Future PS Vita firmware could allow remote play for all PS3 games

We saw the first glimpse of cross-platform gaming between the PS3 and the Vita back during E3 with a game called Ruin. What that showed off was the ability to start up the game on the PS3, save it and quit, and then load up that same game — along with your save file — on the Vita to play on the go. While many questions were raised by that demo, it opened up the possibilities of what could be done between the two systems. Well, now we’re hearing about a future update to the Vita that would let you play your entire PS3 library remotely. — More after the break!

Dad of the year builds his son a Portal inspired bedroom -- (Video)

You wish your parents were this cool. No, seriously — you really do, just admit it. I mean, how can you not be jealous of this kid whose entire room was decked out from top to bottom with Portal inspired furniture, complete with Companion Cube’s to solve the room’s puzzle.

Okay Geek's Black Friday Guide 2011

By now you’ve probably already got a map drawn up with a war strategy on how to flank the competing crowds of people also seeking the best deals on tech and games. And while we did get a late start here at Okay Geek compared to year’s past, we decided to go in a different direction in how we composed 2011’s black friday guide. Instead of doing a full, comprehensive list of everything you’ll find at every store, we decided to pick our top 3 best deals from each of the major tech categories sought for during this annual ritual; i.e. tv’s, laptops, hard drives. We went this route because it’s all about getting the stuff you really need and where to get it, right? — More after the break!

Air Nimbus tee is the only way to fly, DBZ style -- ($10 T-shirt)

We’re thinking of breaking into the habit of posting some of the best geek fashion we can find. How’s that sound to you guys? Hopefully you’re going to dig the stuff we discover, especially when they’re on sale or limited edition merchandise that ensures you won’t run into someone on the street with the same duds. That being said, today’s Dragon Ball Z inspired find from TeeFury.com, who happens to sell only one shirt style per day at the low price of $10, may just be the kinda original apparel you’re looking to sport. — More after the break!

Humble Indie Bundle revealed for 2011, name your own price for great indie games

The annual Humble Indie Bundle is something that warms our hearts. The basic gist is you have a handful of independently developed games offered at whatever price you choose to pay. But just keep in mind that a portion of it (you get to choose how much) is being donated to charity. This year’s offerings are quite the haul, and all for a good cause too; Uplink, Darwinia, DEFCON, and Multiwinia are this year’s offerings — with Crayon Physics Deluxe and Aquaria also available if you pay over the average pay-what-you-want price for them, which currently is $3.82. — You have only 13 days left to act!
