PREVIEW: Dishonored (Xbox 360, PC, PS3)
Cross Bioshock with Splinter Cell and Half Life 2 and you'd get a fairly good idea of what Dishonored, Bethesda's latest first person adventure, looks and feels like. Developed by Arkane Studios (whose ranks include Harvey Smith of Deus Ex…
VIDEO: Steampunk Segway ditches motor
At the Gadget Show Live last weekend, I got as close to a Segway as I’ve ever been, which made me ridiculously excited. I want one. But if I can’t get one, then this is probably the next best thing – it’s a Steampunk Segway, powered by pedalling.
The best thing, though, is that the creator has taken the time to document the entire creation process on Instructables. Make your own, but don’t come crying to us if it falls apart on the hard shoulder of the M4.

Dr. Evermor's awesome steampunk sculpture garden
Don’t you wish you had enough time on your hands to build monolithic steampunk sculptures, just like Dr. Evermor? A retired industrial wrecking and salvage expert, he spends his days building massive sculptures out of old scraps of metal and wreckage from 50 to 100 years old. The above picture is of Forevertron, which includes a pair of bipolar electrical dynamos built by Thomas Edison in the late 19th century and a decontamination chamber from the Apollo space mission….
Steampunk stormtroopers terrorise shopping centres in Dubai
Anyone else just wet their pants a little at the sight of that steampunk stormtrooper above? I bet if the Troopers in Star Wars were made steampunk style instead of their glossy Apple-esque white, the outcome in Return of the Jedi would’ve been entirely different…
Steampunk Powerbook? More like Clockwork Powerbook!
Now that you know the, err, inner workings of the design aesthetics of steampunk pieces, here’s hoping you will appreciate the work that’s gone into this steampunk Pismo Powerbook created by Mr. Mordasky over at Mac Mod.
Using just broken clock parts purchased on eBay, aluminium sheet metal, gloss, and a bit of bronze paint, he has designed and made all by himself the perfect black steampunk Powerbook….
Pub Guru: What is Steampunk, and can it iron my trousers?
Pub Guru is a new weekly feature you’ll see here on the pages of Tech Digest, and will give you enough knowledge about a particularly subject so you can fake your way through a conversation with your mate down at the local boozer. And when their eyes get that glazed look after droning on for so long, you can then steal their Fruli and run off into the night, cackling like a mad Belgian with the last barrel of fruit beer. Mmm…beer…
No doubt you’ve heard the word being bandied around of late, either here, or on Steampunk-crazy sites such as Boing Boing or Gizmodo, who seem to cover everything that’s churned out of enthusiasts’ workshops these days…
