From a self-proclaimed ambitious amateur who calls herself Miss Betsy comes this peek into rehabbing an old solar garden light. For Betsy Hastings, the effort is a way of learning just enough about something to understand what the experts are talking about. Her invention is hello cool; her name for it-–Miss Betsy’s Rechargeable Steampunk Solar Nightlight–is almost too big for the small but very clever solar nightlight, which sort of looks like a stripped-down, wall-eyed copper frogbot (eyes courtesy two green glass marbles). The word clever doesn’t even do this little gem justice. image via Miss Betsy/Instructables Hastings is a nurse in the real world, and rehabbing is the sort of stress relief that likely comes in handy after a full-moon weekend in the ER. The steampunk part builds on a lively and … Read entire article »

Arkane Studios’ upcoming assassination FPS emerges from the shadows with new screenshots featuring abilities, pretty ladies. The steampunk action game looks to have at least some surface similarities with the style and execution of this year’s Bioshock Infinite, but the shift in focus from straight-up action to stealth might be all that it takes for the Bethesda-published Dishonored to carve out its own niche this year.

Here’s the official synopsis for the game: Dishonored is set in Dunwall, an industrial whaling city where strange steampunk- inspired technology and otherworldly forces coexist in the shadows. You are the once-trusted bodyguard of the beloved Empress. Framed for her murder, you become an infamous assassin, known … Read entire article »

If you’ve played Rage, then you’re probably familiar with the Settler Pistol which is what this steampunk gun was based on. However instead of shooting bullets, this steampunk gun is equipped with batteries and shoots lasers instead! A 1.5W blue laser to be precise which not only has the ability to blind but can also burn skin as well, something you most definitely do not want to be swinging around or have pointed at you. The gun’s barrel acts as the battery compartment and while we guess it is pretty cool, it should be noted that it is incredibly dangerous as well. Its creator, Patrick Priebe, has since sold the gun off for about €600 (~$790). However he … Read entire article »
