A UK company by the name of Motion Simulation Ltd believes there’s a market for luxury driving simulators. A cursory glance of its TL1 simulator will leave you intrigued and in seconds, you’ll probably want to step inside.

Someone at Google must still be obsessed with Starcraft 2, because if you bring up the search engine and type in “zerg rush,” a (very, very) Google-fied version of Starcraft 2 appears before your eyes.
If you find yourself with 80 extra hours in your week, and a penchant for classic Star Wars games, you might want to follow in hacker Le Chuck’s footsteps. He built this impressive 1:6 scale 12-inch replica of Atari’s original Star Wars game.
