BGR, once again, spoils things for the rest of us. I’m not sure I even want to wake up on Friday to go and get my iP3G.

If you’re unable to watch this at work then I’ll give the swift rundown based on what Cliffy B states in the clip. The story in GoW 2 is much darker than the previous game and an improved cover system with 400 “tweaks” that make it the “best in the business.” Also, if locusts or […]

If you’re unable to watch this at work then I’ll give the swift rundown based on what Cliffy B says in the clip. The story in GoW 2 is much darker than the previous game and an improved cover system with 400 “tweaks” that make it the “best in the business.” Also, if locusts or yourself are being fired on you won’t be able to move around as easily and will actually slow down. You know what? You have to watch the video when you get a chance. Trust me.

The Asus Eee Computer 901—the new 8.9-inch Eee—is shipping now from Newegg (Amazon still has it on pre-order only). Configured with Atom processor, 1GB of RAM and 12GB of SSD storage, the little laptop can be yours for just $599.99. And in a strange cosmic occurrence, this day is the day I expect to finally get my MSI Wind test unit.

So is anyone picking up the 901? [Newegg via I4U]

The HD Guru recently reviewed the 50-inch Pioneer Elite Kuro PRO-111FD and, after putting the $5,000 premium plasma through its paces, called it “simply the best” HDTV he’s ever tested. Why so good, you ask?

Well, the black levels are so dark that the HD Guru’s current test equipment couldn’t even measure them, the energy consumption levels are pretty admirable, and the color saturation has improved over previous models. The Pioneer isn’t cheap, though, so you’ll have to decide A) If you have a lot of money and B) If you’ve a significant other who will let you spend a lot of that money on a Television. I’ve neither.

From HDGURU.com…

“With comparable color reproduction to the Panasonic 850, improved noise reduction, slightly superior real world energy consumption and the ideal black level of any plasma tested, the Pioneer Elite PRO-111FD lands at top of the flat panel universe. On the other hand, you’ll pay a premium of $1500 over the highly rated Panasonic TH-50PZ850U. Is it worth it extra dollars? That is up to you to decide.”

Happy belated 4th of July everyone. While you were off blowing things up and jamming down hot dogs, we, the Gizmodo weekend editors, were hammering out gadget posts of exceptional value. They are:
• Don’t hit those snakes with a rake! They’re the power-generating kind!

• The sexiest girls expose their midriffs in style with Venetian blind T-shirts.
• Hearing voices? It’s just the Navy’s MEDUSA crowd control device making your skull vibrate.

• Same balloon chair, different result. Flying Brazilian priest found dead in Atlantic.
• Some real fireworks went off, in space.
• The Dark Knight’s Batpod motorcycle did a few laps at the British Formula One Grand Prix.
• Chair legs are for squares. Real sittin’ folk screw their seats forcibly into the ground.
