What kind of Time Lord doesn’t always know what time it is? The geek in your life (ie. HG and SG) will no doubt love this Doctor Who watch complete with revolving TARDIS and sonic screwdriver hands. Nothing in the specifications on whether or not this watch will hold your Time Lord essence for you while you hide from bad guys

Newsarama sat in on the Nintendo press conference this morning where COO Reggie Fils-Aime gave the scoop on when we can expect to see the Nintendo Wii U in the states and how much we can expect to shell out of the first of the “next generation” (if the Wii U can really be called that) consoles.
It will be out on Sunday November 18, 2012, just in time for Black Friday shopping, and will come in two flavors:
There will be two configurations, the Basic Set is white, has the console, gamepad, an AC adapter for each, HDMI cable, Wii U Sensor Bar and 8gb of storage.
Deluxe Set has 32gb, a charging cradle, stands for both, and the game Nintendo Land, that includes sampling of all the new controls the gamepad offers. The Deluxe set also includes a special Nintendo download subscription with free and exclusive DLC (sounds a bit like PlayStation Plus at first).
Neither set comes with the Wii Remote or Nunchuck, Reggie says because they work with existing Wii ones.
The Basic is $299.99, and the Deluxe is $349.99
Other sites suggest that, based on the pricing in Japan, the Wii U Gamepad will cost nearly $150, half of the entire console.
So what do you think, geeks? Are you ready to start lining up for the Wii U yet? Is the price right for a more powerful Nintendo system? Or is it not enough to draw you in at this point?
Wow! These rap battles are starting to get intense! A little thing like dying isn’t going to keep Jobs from defending his rep.

Yesterday, we told you about Bugeyes126, who is apparently a fan of ours, not sure how else he got our email address. Today a new video showed up in our inbox, where Mr. 126 talks about an old vehicle called a “monocycle” which he thinks should have revolutionized transportation but was apparently covered up, much like the water-powered engine.
Doesn’t look any goofier than the Smart car.

We promised to giveaway some swag we collected from SXSW in March once we hit 500 Twitter followers (not literally, we don’t want assault charges after all) and yesterday we did it! Our first contest will be a simple Twitter retweet. To enter, simply tweet the following (minus the quotation marks):
“Enter 2 win SXSW swag by following @HeGeekSheGeek and RTing this! Details @ http://bit.ly/HGSGSwag #HGSGSXSW”
You can enter once a day between April 25 and May 2. Oh, feel free to keep retweeting it, but only one tweet a day will count.
But you probably want to know what’s at stake. Let’s reach into the swag bag and see what one lucky U.S. resident will win…
So to recap, you can enter once a day by following @HeGeekSheGeek on twitter and tweeting out the above quote in blue, the winner must have a U.S. shipping address, and…that’s about it! Simple!
Thanks to our faithful 500 Twitterers, and look for more giveaways in the next few weeks!
Ok, that may sound redundant, but really, who doesn’t enjoy a good round of putt-putt? These geeks took it a step further and created holes based on Minecraft, Portal, the Wii, and more. No simple windmills here, thank you very much!
