Neat High-Tech LEGO Window Display

This is probably the coolest LEGO window display you will see all day. The set up is fairly simple but still pretty damn neat, even if you aren't a fan of Star Wars or LEGOs.


Intel Begins Work on 7nm, 5nm Process Technologies

Intel’s chief executive Paul Otellini shed some light on Chipzilla’s plans and confirmed that the company already has 7nm and 5nm processes in mind. Intel is currently planning on setting up its fabs in Oregon, Arizona and Ireland for 14 nm production. According to a slide shown in a meeting with investors, this would ensure development of the 14nm process by 2015.

Otellini reminded that Intel’s R&D is quite deep and looks decades in advance. He said that the company’s 7nm and 5nm efforts are “on time and on target”, although we’re still talking about R&D phase.

Step Inside the Sound Booth for Batman: Arkham City

Celery makes for an awesome sound effects tool. The audio proof is delivered by the Dark Knight when he breaks criminals' bones in Batman: Arkham City. Yup, they did that with celery. In honor of Batman's upcoming GOTY edition, Rocksteady is providing a behind the scenes look at Arkham City's development, and today we learn how the studio made the punches, capes, and snapped limbs sound so good.



Batman: Arkham City GOTY, featuring the new DLC adventure, Harley Quinn's Revenge, is set to ship for consoles in September. We're still waiting on Rocksteady and Warners for the PC release date.

Harley Quinn's Revenge DLC Trailer

Harley Quinn has never been one to let slights against her beloved Joker slide. After the Dark Knight did the slighting in Batman: Arkham City, you knew there would be some serious repercussions. Well, Harley Quinn gets her revenge in the upcoming DLC for Arkham City, and it's up to Robin to pull Batman out of the fire. Get a glimpse at what's to come in the new Harley Quinn's Revenge trailer below.



There's no release date announced for the PC version of the DLC, but it will be coming to consoles May 29. If the release of Arkham City itself is any indication, I'd expect it to be coming about a month later. Regardless, it'll probably be worth the wait, as Robin will be a playable character and Harley Quinn looks really bummed out. Also, beating the hell out of goons with that stick looks seriously fun.
