Modders have spent years trimming Nintendo Wii motherboards down to the absolute minimum so they fit inside handheld shells that resemble the original Game Boy. Xenii refined that approach across earlier Xii-Boy versions until the latest Ultra revision arrived as a fully modular kit. Tito from Macho Nacho Productions assembled one, and the result sits at roughly 145 by 86 by 27 millimeters while still containing a genuine Wii board that has undergone the standard OMGWTF trim.
Rivian owners woke up to a free software update that turns every R1 and R2 into a rolling Ghostbusters prop. Collaboration with Sony Pictures delivered the package starting October 9 and keeps it active through November 2. Bill Murray appears as Peter Venkman in a short film directed by Gil Kenan, the filmmaker behind the recent Ghostbusters sequels. In the spot Slimer digs through a suburban fridge while lights flicker, then an Ecto-R1 arrives with sirens and Murray in the jumpsuit. The same vehicle, built by Rivian’s Special Projects team, features white 22-inch aero wheels, a red graphic with the No-Ghost logo, restored vintage emergency lights, a roof rack carrying sirens, spotlights, a radar dish and side tanks, plus a compass design visible from above.
Anyone who needs a laptop that can carry a full day of serious work without constant pauses still lands on the same machine. Apple’s 16.2-inch MacBook Pro with the M5 Pro, priced at $2,499 (was $2,999) in the Space Black configuration with 24GB of unified memory and a 1TB solid-state drive, remains the cleanest answer for the money.
Citroen just opened the order books in Germany for the Ami Outdoor, a special edition of the boxy electric two-seater that has been scooting around European side streets since 2020. List price starts at €9,690 including tax, the rough equivalent of $11,000, before delivery and plates. A lease is offered at €65 a month over 36 months after a €1,350 payment up front, with a yearly allowance of 5,000 kilometers. Dutch pricing sits at €9,940, about €1,190 above a plain Ami. Belgium has matched the German figure for private buyers through the end of October. Wider European availability is expected after that first wave. In Germany the car is sold online only.
JAS Motorsport finally showed the finished Tensei on October 8, 2026, after months of drawings that only hinted at the shape. Thirty-five cars are planned, each built near Milan from a first-generation Honda NSX and finished to the buyer’s order. Pininfarina signed the body. The name is Japanese for rebirth, which fits a car that still reads as an NSX from across a lot and then refuses to match the 1990 original once you walk closer.
Most people shopping for a desk chair in this price range are not looking for a racing bucket or a showroom piece. They want something that holds them up through a long evening of games or a full day of work, and the N-GEN GAMING high-back does that job for about $80. Amazon lists the all-black model around $79.95, down from a list price near $89.
Nineteen feet and eight inches separates the nose of this car from the trailing edge of its rear fins, and almost none of that length came from a single factory chassis. Custom builder Carl Casper and his shop, Hollywood Productions, cut two Chevrolet Impala frames apart and joined them into one long backbone, then wrapped the result in a hand-shaped fiberglass body finished in gloss black. That body still wears the paint it carried when cameras rolled on Tim Burton’s 1992 film Batman Returns. Julien’s Auctions calls this example the number one hero car, screen-matched to most of the driving scenes Michael Keaton shot, and says it has never been offered at auction before.
RayTriangle built a game console small enough to live inside a 9.5 mm Goobay antenna plug, the sort of screw-terminal adapter once used to join old 300 ohm ribbon cable to a 75 ohm television socket. Battery included, the whole machine screws into the antenna jack and puts DOOM on the screen.
Midtown foot traffic slowed this week in front of an arcade cabinet tall enough to stand inside. Paramount parked it in Times Square to sell the new Street Fighter movie, and the usual field of pixels had been swapped for two people. Stunt performers in Ryu and Ken costumes took their marks behind the glass and waited for someone in the crowd to pick a side.
