Gordon Freeman, in your head. Well, that’s the plan, with Oculus now offering official beta support for a headset-based Half-Life 2. There’s a few known issues to iron out already, including an overly-dim UI and issues with the zoom. But even at this early stage, it appears to lack any gameplay deal-breakers we’ve seen elsewhere. As mentioned by Valve’s Joe Ludwig on the Oculus developer forums, however, the current build is a bit rougher around the edges compared to the Team Fortress 2 beta that launched earlier this year. Developers with the necessary Rift hardware can pick up the files on Steam or follow the developments on Oculus’ own forums — but no comments about headcrab hats and wearables, okay?

Kaleidescape launched its online offering in beta late last year, and now it’s officially open, becoming what it claims is the first store to provide “internet delivery of Blu-ray quality movies.” The Kaleidescape Store goes beyond other 1080p services (Vudu, iTunes, Xbox and PSN come to mind) by promising the disc-equaling higher bitrates, extras and lossless audio options they don’t have. There’s no streaming to be had here, only downloads, with file sizes we saw ranging from 23GB (Austin Powers) to as much as 55.4GB (Inception) and everywhere in between.

While the store is only built to work with Kaleidescape’s high-end disc-playback systems — these usually start in the thousands of dollars, and you’ll need M-Class hardware for HD — it currently offers movies from Warner Bros. with an Ultraviolet copy attached, so buyers can play them back on mobile devices through apps such as Flixster and Vudu. Ultraviolet support also means $ 6.99 upgrades of DVD purchases to Blu-ray-quality HD, and potentially disc-to-digital type features later. Naturally, anyone interested will need an internet connection with a generous / non-existent bandwidth cap, but we imagine that’s not out of the price range for these niche owners. Still, it does provide an idea of the difficulty others like Sony and Netflix will face when trying to digitally distribute feature films in 4K to a wider audience. Check out a few screens of the store in the gallery, and the Random Thoughts blog link below for firsthand impressions from a beta tester.

When Seiki’s 4K TV set popped up on retail listings with a price that’s just a fraction of what we’ve seen from its more expensive rivals, we were almost convinced it was a site glitch — that couldn’t be real, could it? The company would like to reassure us that it’s quite serious. The 50-inch Ultra HD set is officially shipping to the US later in April, and it will still carry that regular $ 1,500 price tag when sales expand from TigerDirect (which claims to have stock today) to include Amazon and QVC, among others. We’d remain cautious about leaping in when Seiki is trying to skip a year or three of the usual commoditization process, but those who insist on their 4K bragging rights won’t have long to wait before they can start boasting.

These are two NES cartridge pillows from ThinkGeek. Except they’re not actually licensed by Nintendo, which is why they’re calling them Retro Video Game Cartridge Pillows and feature games like Unicorn’s Revenge and Lava Jump instead of Super Mario and The Legend of Zelda. Call me when they actually make some from real games. Actually, don’t call — just text. Scratch that, I don’t want to give my number. How about you just send me a tip? Yeah, just send a tip and maybe throw a compliment in there too. Something like, “Damn GW, you’re dreamy as hell — here’s a Zelda pillow to rest that angelic-ass head of yours.” Really anything but the “Hey dick for brains” tips that I’ve been getting lately. I have feelings you know. If I touch the stove will it not burn? Well not until they turn my electricity back on, but you get the point.

Hit the jump for a couple more shots including a guy blowing into the end of one LOLOLOL.

Because drinking and watching TV go hand and hand like two best friend on a playground skipping to the swing set, HBO has licensed the rights to make a Game of Thrones beer to the Ommegang brewery in upstate New York. The beer, which will taste like the blood of your enemies, doesn’t actually taste like the blood of your enemies (unless your enemies are pils, honey, aroma malts, red wheat, grains of paradise and lemon peel) and is 6.5% alcohol by volume. That seems a little weak for a beer that’s supposed to be paying homage to Game of Thrones. A REAL Game of Thrones beer should be brewed with dragon tears and be a minimum of 26% alcohol. “And have teeth in the bottle.” TWO SCOOPS OF MOLARS.

Thanks to my buddy Terry, who drinks at least six Sierra Nevadas a day sitting around playing Civilization V. “The dream.” Some people live it. Not Terry though. No, not Terry.

This is an officially licensed TARDIS computer case for sale by British computer retailer Scan. The systems are fully configurable but the base starts at £936 (~$ 1,511) for an Intel Pentium 3.1GHz Dual Core processor, 8GB of RAM and a 500GB hard drive. That’s not a lot of bang for your coconuts. It’s a shame they don’t sell the case by itself, but I guess that’s how they get you. Get = price gouge, just so we’re clear. That said, I already have a computer that looks like something else. See? “That looks like a regular laptop.” But if I turn it ON IT’S SIDE like this. “I still don’t get it.” It’s a book!

Thanks to Owen, who just configured a $ 4,000 version and added it to the top of his Christmas list. Ahahahaha, Santa doesn’t know computers!
