"Our goal, more than four days away, is California. First the Bay Area city of Emeryville, and then onward to the Game Developers Conference in San Francisco. But during the 52 hours of our journey, the people on board-the more than 300 designers, programmers, artists, writers, and musicians-will have another goal, one that will eat sleep, time, and all the energy they have to spare. It's the reason they all got on this train in the first place: they want to make videogames. This is Train Jam."

"La nouveauté du jour, «  Mini Metro  », vous permettra cette fois-ci de gérer votre propre réseau de métro. Le début de la partie peut paraître assez simple puisque l'on dispose de seulement 3 stations et de 3 lignes de métro. L'objectif étant bien évidemment de mailler le territoire en reliant les stations de métro tout en gérant le flux des voyageurs. Sauf qu'au fur et à mesure, d'autres stations vont apparaître…"

"The very earliest automobiles used tillers to control their steering, but by the turn of the century the nascent car industry settled on using a wheel to control the steering, perhaps taking inspiration from boats. With the driver's hands busy steering (and changing gears via a lever), pedals soon found favor as the optimum method of controlling the brakes and engines. Along the years, concept cars have appeared with alternative ideas, often involving aircraft-inspired joysticks. Nearly two decades of Gran Turismo and its ilk have trained gamers to control cars using d-pads, buttons, and triggers. Then there's the even more outlandish stuff like prone driving positions, a la Batman and his Tumbler Batmobile. Have we learned anything during the last hundred-plus years of driving that makes more sense than Edwardian-era human-vehicle interaction?"

"THERE ARE PLENTY of ways to get directions in the car, but most have one big shortcoming. Whether you're using a standalone GPS, in-car navi system, smartphone, the Apple Watch, or even a paper map, you have to look away from the road (you know, that thing you're supposed to be paying attention to when driving) in order to see where you're supposed to be going. So how to keep your eyes on the road and not get lost? One option is the heads-up display. Increasingly common on high-end cars, these devices project things like navigation directions and current speed onto the windshield, so the driver has important information right in their field of vision. It's a technology that's fast spreading beyond this incarnation, though: We've seen screens showing ghost cars for racers, and another that uses lasers to "paint" the edge of a road on the windshield in inclement weather. Then there are these wacky augmented reality concept goggles from Mini. One of the latest gadgets to enter the fray is something called the Navion, from Swiss firm WayRay."

"52 HOUR GAME JAM…ON A TRAIN!"

"La vie de famille a connu des transformations spectaculaires suite à l'infiltration des nouvelles technologies dans les foyers et, naturellement, dans les voitures où les familles passent une part croissante de leur temps. La nature hautement contextuelle des technologies familiales nécessite une étude de leurs usages dans les lieux du quotidien ; toutefois, alors que les pièces du foyer comme les cuisines et les salons ont déjà fait l'objet de recherches, la voiture a attiré beaucoup moins d'attention."

"Mobile Game Theaters go by many names: game truck, game bus, video game party truck, and the list goes on. As varied as are the names, so is the quality of the game theater. We want to help people locate other quality mobile game theaters around the U.S. and Canada. This list is by no means exhaustive; it should not be thought that a game truck not appearing on this list is not a high quality. These game theaters are all a great choice for your video game birthday party, or other fun event idea or easy party idea."
