geeksugar Explores Hotel Tomo

GeekSugar — Tue, 07 Aug 2007 03:00:58 -0700

When news of a new Joie de Vivre video game-themed hotel hit the internet this spring geeks everywhere freaked out. Everyone began to wonder: What will it look like? How much will it cost? What games will it feature? We have the honor of working blocks away from San Francisco's newly renovated Hotel Tomo so we headed over for an up-close look at their eccentric accommodations.

While the two gaming suites have just opened for business, the hotel has been redecorated in an eye-catching Japanese Pop theme and features beautiful murals, iPod docking stations, flat screen TVs, free wireless and comfy "fat boy" gamer chairs in every room. If you're not ready to spring for the more pricey gamer suites, which cost around $500 for a night and can be rented for shorter events, regular rooms start at $109 and feature "On Command" video games and a fun, geeky atmosphere just steps from one of the cities hippest Karaoke spots.

The hotel is well on its way to becoming a geek haven. See for yourself.

Website of the Day: MSN Twilight

GeekSugar — Thu, 19 Nov 2009 03:50:12 -0800

Only one more day until the highly anticipated New Moon premiere and I know you were just hoping I'd squeeze in one more Twilight tech treat before the big day. And here it is! MSN has launched its very own Twilight website that takes you right to Forks, Washington where all the Twilight excitement takes place.

You'll be able to take virtual tours of the Cullen house, the Forks Police Station, the Forks Hospital, Bella Italia, the dress shop, the bookstore, and the high school. Just don't try opening this site using Firefox on Mac or else you'll get this message (which I thought was pretty cheeky):

"Let's say Firefox on Mac is like a vampire and our video player is like a wolf pack. . . They just don't get along. We don't want you to miss out on the Twilight action though, so try opening our site in Safari for Mac."
