| Gamers Would Be In Much Better Shape If All Games Were Played Like This (Video) |

Gamers are ultra-passionate about what they play, but most of them are fully aware that epic gaming sessions are not exactly the healthiest of activities one can partake in. But with the current boom of motion gaming, it’s easier than it’s ever been to drain those calories from your gamer-bod. The problem, however, has been a lack of games actually worth playing. Most hardcore gamers aren’t exactly excited by the thought of rocking out a session or two of Wii Sports or Just Dance. This is where the oncoming boom of virtual reality gaming comes in. You’ve likely heard of the Oculus Rift—a new VR headset that has people very, very excited—already, but there are other virtual reality toys in the work as well. When some of these new toys come together, you get a little something that looks like The Cyberith Virtualizer—a gaming experience that’s…interesting, to say the least…and one that’s sure to whip you into shape. Click on over to the other side to check out a video of this crazy contraption in action with games like The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim, GTA IV, and others, as well as a trailer for it.

| ‘Cloudy With A Chance Of Meatballs’ Machine Prints Edible Pizza (Video)
Back in May of last year we dove into the ever-booming world of 3D printing when it was revealed that NASA had given $125,000 to engineer Anjan Contractor to develop a machine that could actually print edible food items for astronauts to eat in space. It sounded right out of Cloudy with a Chance of Meatballs or Star Trek. The first goal was a favorite of most people: a simple pizza. The machine would print a layer of dough that cooks as the process moves along, then mix a tomato powder with water and oil to create the sauce layer before the final layer of cheese and any protein that might be used is added. Contractor has made some good progress since then, and a video of the food printing machine in action has been released. You can watch the video of a pizza being printed and see an image of the final product below!
