Buzzfeed Made a Card Game That’s Basically An Awkward Version of Cards Against Humanity

Buzzfeed, those people that steal content online and repost it as their own, have come up with their own card game that steals a little from Cards Against Humanity and a little from Truth or Dare. It’s kind of original, but really stupid. Let me explain.

The game is called Social Sabotage, and it’s pretty much exactly like CAH in the sense that there are situational cards, and people play their own funny cards to complete the sentence. The only difference is that you’re supposed to do what ever embarrassing thing people come up with. For example, you play a “Send your mom…” card and the other players decide to play “A video of you twerking.” And you’re supposed to actually do that.

It’s a fine idea, but yea, no one’s gonna do what the card tells them. Oh, let me post some ridiculously awkward thing to this girl I like, or you know, we could just watch Stranger Things season 2 and throw this game away in the garbage, that’s an idea too.

Other than putting yourself in a horrifically awkward post, there’s not much humor in the actual cards themselves, so just play Cards Against Humanity.

$25 will get you Social Sabotage at Walmart, or a Cards Against Humanity base set on Amazon. The choice is yours.

Razer Announces D.Va Themed Headset and Mouse

Razer, the now major phone smartphone brand, has announced a headset and computer mouse in the style of D.Va from Overwatch at Blizzcon 2017. Now, don’t sit here and tell me you don’t play Overwatch, everyone plays this game, it’s the digital equivalent of heroin.

The headset, modeled after the one the mech pilot Hana Song wears, has a range of 20 Hz – 20 kHz, 40 mm drivers, Neodymium magnets and weighs a total of 322g. Remember, D.Va was a professional gamer in South Korea before signing up to fight for her country. Yea, this game really is for nerds.

The mouse is rated as being “tournament-grade”, and I’m sure it’s great, but let’s be real here, the headset is the real star of the show.

The headset will retail for $79, and will be available soon. Oh, and the mouse is available now for $59.

I want that headset, It’ll complete my D.Va cosplay. Now, I won’t cosplay outside, but I will wear it around the house and stare at myself in the mirror.

Standeazy is a Phone Stand That Fits In Your Wallet, And I Totally Had This Idea Last Year

Wouldn’t it be great to have a phone stand that can fold up to the size of a credit card and could fit easily into your wallet? Well, I had that Idea last year, and it was going to be sweet. Well, now there’s also StandEazy, (dumb name, I would’ve come up with something better) it’s made of metal and has a hinge that can supposedly last up to 80,000 bends, though mine would’ve easily lasted 85,000.

It’s a great idea as you never know when you might want a phone stand. Maybe you’re stuck somewhere, or you’re trying to watch a YouTube tutorial about fixing a car and boom, instant phone stand. Plus, it’s not built into your phone case, so it doesn’t add any bulk to your device. The StandEazy can even hold tablets, just like mine.

It was successfully funded on Kickstarter to the tune of £66,000. Haha, what? I’m not bitter that he had his funded and I never finished mine. What makes you think that?

$18 each. Hit the jump to see my prototype that didn’t end up making £66,000 online.

Photo by Vlad Savov / The Verge

Razer has officially announced their first phone simply titled the Razer Phone. The device comes just one year after Razer’s acquisition of Nextbit, which had previously stepped into the smartphone market with the Robin.

The Razer Phone is made with sharp corners and a metal finish, a design that Razer seems comfortable with on their laptops. The features include a 2K LCD display that runs at 120hz. No other smartphone has a display that fast, which provides buttery smooth animations, scrolling and will even make some games look super smooth. The phone also features stereo front-facing speakers with dedicated amplifiers and a THX-certified adapter that ensures high quality audio through the headphones.

Aside from its display and audio, The Razer Phone also features 6GB of RAM, the latest Snapdragon 835 processor and a dual 12MP rear shooter, much like the iPhone 8 Plus. The software is a fairly stock android experience, but Razer hopes that its high quality display and audio features can be enough to lure gamers to give it a shot.

Halo Energy Sword Lamp Commemorates The Days When You Impaled Your Friends

If you were a teen in the mid 2000’s you know exactly how many friendships were ruined playing Halo 2 and Halo 3. Loading up a private match and playing with a few buddies is all fun and games, until someone grabs that shining light blue pointy stick. That one hit killer made us feel like kings when we had it, and like mincemeat when it was used against us.

Well now you can remember those days everytime you look over at your Energy Sword Lamp. The lamp features transparent blue Acrylic, and lights up the same way your face did everytime you disemboweled one of your friends. It can even be picked up from its base so you can swing in around wildly like a madman Master Chief.

It’s available on Etsy for the low price of $54.
